Compressor efficiency
Thread Content
W1=10^3·Q· P0· 1n(P1/P0) (kW); the work done is calculated based on an isothermal process, and the efficiency Z is calculated as W1/W_total. Considering the influence of the air compressor’s intake and exhaust valves, how should the real-time operating efficiency of the air compressor be determined?
I find formulas to be quite complicated; I have a practical method: when the compressor is supplying air normally, divide the power consumption per hour by the volume of air delivered – this is the simplest approach.
