Abstract

This paper provide a preliminary study of a way exploitation energy compressed air converting it in rotational mechanical energy. To comply with this goal, a test bench was assembled with a 0.06 m3 air storage tank, a two piston pneumatic engine, a dynamometer with the electromagnetic breake and dynamic torque sensor to determine engine power, a control system with PLC to monitoring-controling the equipment and Also a data acquisition system to register the process variables. A variable time air injection system was included that was electronically controlled through a Hall sensor and a sync disc that It transformer the piston lineal position in a rotary position. The pneumatic engine was built from a two piston air compressor, the power obtained was 52 W and the rotational torque obtained was 2.5 N.m taking into account that the injection time influenced in the results. The efficiency obtained was between 7-11 %.
