Questions regarding the flow rate indicated on the gas compressor nameplate
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone: we have a compressor of the model ZW-1.6/16-24, and the flow rate indicated on its nameplate is an rated exhaust volume of 1.6 m³/min. I now need to purchase a compressor similar to his. One manufacturer specifies the flow rate as \"rated volumetric flow rate\": 1.6 m³/min, while another manufacturer uses the term \"discharge volume\" for the same value: 1.6 m³/min (at intake conditions, approximately 27.2 Nm³/min). Is this 1.6 m³/min the \"inlet flow rate\", the \"outlet flow rate\", or the flow rate under standard conditions?
It is both the rated displacement and the rated volumetric flow rate; it represents a value at the inlet condition
