Compressed air is seen as the result of the atmospheric air compression complemented by treatment processes, which is widely used in the industrial sector with applications in several processes that require strength and movement, such as pneumatic machines. The present work proposes the dimension of a compressed air network, so that the stages of production, distribution, preparation and expansion of this network are contemplated, so that the product is delivered to the application points in quantitative and qualitatively satisfactory conditions for the smooth operation of pneumatic tools and equipment. In order to carry out the work, it was necessary to have a theoretical basis, as well as data collection, such as: number of machines that will use compressed air, length of the distribution and supply pipes, besides that to the singularities choice. Thus, it was possible to present the calculations of the distribution diameters and supply lines, the selection of the reservoir, compressor and presentation of a primary compressed air network layout. Generally, it was found that the dimensioned network will achieve the needs of the equipment in order to offer a longer lifetime and good performance to the pneumatic components for the existing shed that will hold a business incubator in the Tucuruí Technological Park.
