COMPRESSED AIR PRODUCTION

USING VEHICLE SUSPENTION

WORKING PRINCIPLE:
• This project is designed with Pneumatic single acting cylinder, Quick
exhaust valve, Non return valve, Air tank and Gate valve. The
pushing power is converted into compressed air energy by proper
driving arrangement. Pneumatic single acting cylinder is used for this
project. The spring arrangement is fixed outside the pneumatic
cylinder. The spring is used to return the inclined L-angle window in
same position by releasing the load. The output air from the
pneumatic cylinder is collected through quick exhaust valve and non-
return valve. The pneumatic cylinder retracting action occurs with the
help of quick exhaust valve and spring arrangement.
ABSTRACT
• In this project we are collecting air cylinder and store this energy to the
compressor tank as non-conventional method by simply driving the vehicle.
Non-conventional energy system is very essential at this time to our nation.
Compressed air production using vehicle suspensor needs no fuel input
power to produce the output of the air.
CONCEPTUALIZATION
• The input force i.e. the weight of unsprung mass of vehicle is given with help of
lever arrangement. That force is transfer to cylinder-1 with the help of piston
cylinder arrangement. Cylinder-1 is partially filled with hydraulic fluid. Input force
is transmitted from cylinder-1 to cylinder-2 by hydraulic fluid.Cylinder-2 is partially
pneumatic & partially hydraulic. In cylinder-2 air is sucked from atmosphere, where
it gets compressed during extension stroke of cylinder-2. That compressed air can be
stored in Air Receiver. Two NRV’s are used at the inlet & exhaust of Air. For force
transmission from cylinder-1 to cylinder-2, the hydraulic lines are selected

WORKING OPERATION
• The important components of our project are,
• Pneumatic single acting cylinder
• Quick exhaust valve
• Air tank
• Gate valve
• The complete diagram of the compressed air production using vehicle suspensor is given below. The pushing power is converted
into compressed. Air energy by proper driving arrangement. The pneumatic single acting Cylinder is used for this project.
• The spring arrangement is fixed at the outside of the pneumatic cylinder. The spring is used to return the inclined L-angle
window in same position by releasing the load. The output air from the pneumatic cylinder is collected through quick exhaust
valve and non-return valve and inside spring arrangement
ACKNOLEDGEMENT
• First and foremost we would like to thank SavitribaiPhule Pune University and
GenbaSopanraoMoze College of Engineering, Balewadi for providing a course where
we could learn all about Mechanical Engineering .We also sincerely thank to our Project
guide Prof. M.R.Jagadale for his valuable guideline and showing for faith on us and
rendering unwavering support.We are thankful to all our teachers and professors of our
department for giving us their expertise in the related topic. We take knowledge about
many practical applications while doing this project.We had an opportunityto learn how
project are been done. We received a lot of practical experience while working.
ADVANTAGES

CONCLUSION
• At the outset of the project, the system was chosen as the most suitable conceptual design for
satisfying the problem statement. Consequently, the main objective module was to develop a
mechanism for compressed air production using vehicle suspension. The module was concluded
successfully and the result was a suitable design satisfying the earlier demands. The mechanism was
developed on the basis of the Rule of Thumb and ease of manufacturing, availability of components
at short lead times. This innovation can be more desirable and economical with certain
improvements. This project ―Compressed air production using vehicle suspension‖ is designed with
the hope that it is very much economical and helpful to all vehicles to produce the compressed air
and provide dual suspension. Thus, the project was concluded to be successful and beneficial for the
overall development of both the society and the students.
