General Info

The Airnoids are beautiful in their simplicity and operation. A complete system works like this. 100 to 150 lbs of co2 or plain old shop air from a 10oz bottle is feed through 1/4” tubing to the Actuator which is a baby electric solenoid. From the Actuator the co2 is feed to the Airnoids via 3/16” tubing.

Actuator

The Actuator is used when the nitrous system needs to be activated via an electric throttle switch and/or timers. The actuator draws only 0.6 amps. You read that right. Your whole nitrous system can go from a possible 50 amp draw per stage to less than 1 lousy amp. While not totally electric free it is darn close.  

This photo shows a four stage system with the supply lines from the Actuators feeding through the firewall via quick release bulkhead fittings.
 
Each Actuator can supply operating air to 2 combo Airnoids AND 5 Actuators can be tied together and feed by a single line from the air supply bottle. This modular feature makes multi stage systems so much simpler and neater.

Soooo, (drum roll please), with one ¼” incoming co2 feed line you could conceivably run 5 stages with a total of 10 Combo Airnoids (= 20 electrics) and only use 3.0 amps total (vs 250 amps electric).  This is likely an insane exercise but it is doable.  If you use no timers there is a way to do this with no electricity whatsoever and I will get to that further on.

Layout

Layout is pretty much the same for all configurations that you can think of. The ¼” tube from the bottle leads to the Actuator. From the Actuator 3/16” tubing feeds the Airnoids. About a dozen different styles of available tubing connector fittings will cover any plumbing possibilities.

This first photo shows an abbreviated tubing layout for 2 Silver Airnoids. The tubing and tube fittings are all high grade quick release items. The QR, no tool needed, feature allows you to instantly remove a nozzle spider or complete manifold without fumbling for screw drivers and eliminates having to rewire in some cases. The second photo shows the possibility of hard lining a plate with the Silver Airnoid.
