Piston Section |
|
|
S = section in sq. cm
r = piston radius in cm |
|
Displacement |
|
|
V = displacement in cu. cm
S = piston section in sq. cm
C = piston stroke in cm
Total displacement derives from the addition of the displacement of every cylinder.
Two-stages compressor displacement derives only from low-pressure cylinders displacement. |
|
Intake air volume |
|
|
Va = air intake in l/min
C = displacement in cu. dm
N = rev. per min. |
|
Output air volume |
|
|
Vr = air output in l/min at 7 bar
Va = air intake in l/min
Volumetric efficiency (0.62) single stage
Volumetric efficiency (0.72) two stages |
|
Piston speed |
|
|
W = speed in m/sec
C = piston stroke in cm
n = rev. per min |
|
Air speed when passing through valves |
|
|
w = air speed in m/sec
S = piston section in sq. m
s = valve section in sq. m
W = piston speed in m/sec |
|
Air speed through a duct |
|
|
V = air speed in m/sec
Q = air quantity in m/sec
S = duct section in sq. m |
|
Pressure increase when temperature changes |
|
|
P2 = Gauge pressure derived from temperature increase (bar)
P1 = measured pressure (bar)
T1 = Starting temp. + 273
T2 = Final temp. + 273 |
|
Compressed air consumption in a system with a tank of known capacity |
|
|
C = air consumption in l/min
P2 = starting pressure (bar)
P1 = final pressure (bar)
Vs = tank volume in l
t = time needed in sec |
|
Reference conditions for compressed air in N cu. m/h
(STANDARD CONDITION = t 0¡ãC = 32¡ãF --- p 1 bar = 14.5 PSI) |
 |
trif e prif = reference temperature and pressure
T e p = temp. & press. of volume to be conv
Pvs = saturated steam pressure (see table)
ç = relative humidity % |
