The purpose of this study is to develop a portable energy-saving type air supply system. A variable volume tank is developed in order to drive a pneumatic actuator with a low discharge pressure in a tank. The developed tank composed of flexible materials can store pneumatic energy by converting it to elastic energy. In this paper, the composition of the system, the structure and characteristic of a variable volume tank and experiment of driving actuator with constant and variable volume tanks are discussed. As a result, the variable volume tank can drive the actuator at a lower supply pressure than with the constant volume tank.

More and more attentions have been paid on ice-storage low temperature air supply system because of its notable energy saving effects and comfort. The paper expatiate on that ice-storage low temperature air supply system brings a series of especial superiority to modern air-condition cause. The results show that low temperature air supply system can exert the potential advantage of ice-storage further. The combination of ice-storage and low temperature air supply system can obtain an “integrated approach”, which can save energy resources and improve human body comfort and indoor air quality.

In this paper, based on the new concept air power of pneumatic system’s energy consumption, we proposed series of practical program to optimize the air supply system. This program discussed a method of how to keep air pressure stable and how to make the amount of air compressors to match the real-time air consumption after using different air pressure for different devices, thus reducing energy loss of air supply system and energy consumption of air compressor group. The result of present work implied that this program achieved the desired effect of energy saving and provided a reference for energy-saving pneumatic system’s design.

To improve indirect drying efficiency, the effect of soda residue on the drying characteristics of coking coal were studied using a self-made indirect drying system. A tube furnace was used in the dry distillation of coal samples with soda residue, and the coke properties were analyzed. The results indicated that the soda residue has a significant influence on the increase in the heating rate of coal samples in the temperature distribution range of 90 to 110 °C. With the addition of 2%, 5%, and 10% soda residue, the drying rates increased by 11.5%, 25.3%, and 37.3%, respectively at 110 °C. The results of dry distillation show that addition of 2%, 5% and 10% soda residue decreases the carbon loss quantity by 4.67, 4.99, and 8.82 g, respectively. The mechanical strength of coke samples satisfies the industrial conditions when the soda residue ratio ranges from 2% to 5%. Soda residue can improve the active point of coke dissolution reaction and inhibit coke internal solution. Economically, coking coal samples mixed with soda residue have an obvious energy saving advantage in the drying process. Energy saving analysis found that it can reduce cost input by 20% than that of the normal drying method.

Initiated by a case study to assess the effectiveness of the modernisation actions undertaken in a water supply system, some R&D activities were conducted to construct a global predictive model, based on the available operational failure and recovery data. The available operational data, regarding the water supply system, are the pipes’ diameter, failure modes, materials, functional conditions, seasonality, and the number of failures and time-to-recover intervals. The operational data are provided by the water company responsible of the supply system. A predictive global model is proposed based on the output of the operational data statistical assessment. It should assess the expected effectiveness of decisions taken in support of the modernisation and the extension plan.
