German Pneumatics…
In most of the industrial plants, centralized compressed air

supply will exist. Hence, simple automation of machining
sequences (or) material handling can be done without much
expense. Low cost automation is attempted without going for a
major alteration of the existing set up. Low cost automation
enhances productivity. The sequencing pneumatic circuit is an
example of "Low cost Automation"
4. Name two types of control systems?
1. Open loop control system
2. Closed loop control system.
5. Explain the closed loop control system for a flow through a

pipe?
A flow through pipe is continuously measured and compared

with the desired value to get the error signal (error signal is a
difference between actual and desired values). Based on this
error signal, the controller gives a signal to actuate the valve to
adjust the flow (increase (or) decrease depending on the value
of error being positive (or) negative). This is called a closed
loop control system.
6. Explain Fluidic Logic Control?
In many plants, closed loop control is achieved by electronic

devices based on I different logic functions such as AND, OR,
NOT and MEMORY. Logic controls can be defined as design of
control system based on reasoning arising out of deductive
principle. However, the electronic control system is not only
control system used in industries. If the pneumatic control
system using low pressure air is used to achieve the above logic
control functions, then it is known as fluidic Logic Control.
7. What is fluidics?
Fluidics is the technology that utilizes fluid flow phenomena in

components and circuits to perform a wide variety of control
functions including sensing, logic and m more functions.
8. How pump cavitation is identified?
Cavitation is the inability of a pump to draw a full charge of oil

either because of air leaks or restrictions in the inlet line.
When a pump starts to cavitate, its noise level increases and it
may become very hot around the shaft and front bearing.
Other symptoms of cavitation are erratic movement of
cylinders, difficulty in building up full pressure, and a milky
appearance of the oil.
9. Write about leakage testing of air cylinders?
Piston seals and rod seals become worn to the point that
cylinder performance (or) I efficiency is affected. Leakage
around the rod seal can easily be detected and the seal can be
replaced. At that time, the rod bearing which is usually brass,
bronze (or) Teflon, It should also be replaced.
10. What is air receiver?
Air receiver is a large cylindrical vessel used to store high

pressure air from the compressor. Large surface area of the
receiver dissipates the heat of compression (heat in the
compressed air) to the surrounding atmosphere. It will have
safety relief valve, pressure indicator and temperature

switches.
11. What is meant by fluidics?
Fluidics is the branch of science which deals with Liquids,

Gaseous systems, components, design, and applications of
above in the industries to perform useful work.
