The amount of air it takes to clear out a yard sprinkler system depends on the size of the system. The best way to clear the pipes is to use a compressor that makes as much air as you need rather than using a finite supply of canned air.
To properly blow out your sprinkler system, you will need an air compressor with enough pressure to clear the water from the pipes.

Make sure to do this carefully to avoid damaging the pipes or sprinkler heads.
In a deluge system the water comes out of all sprinkler heads at once, compared with most fire sprinkler systems in which each sprinkler head has its own heat-sensitive trigger. There are major design differences in how much water you need for a deluge system and what safety interlocks are built into the system to prevent accidental water damage.
To properly blow out a sprinkler system, you will need an air compressor with enough pressure to clear the water from the pipes. Begin by shutting off the water supply to the system and attaching the air compressor to the system's blowout port. Open the valves on the sprinkler system one at a time, starting with the farthest one from the compressor, and allow the air to blow out the water until only air is coming out. Repeat this process for each valve until all the water is cleared from the system.
