Issues with Ingersoll Rand air compressor parameters
Thread Content
The Ingersoll Rand air compressor MH350 produced by our factory has a nominal flow rate of 53.2 m/min and a rated pressure of 1.0 MPa. How should this flow rate be interpreted – as an inlet flow rate or as a flow rate at the outlet under operating conditions? If it needs to be converted into standard cubic meters, should the regular calculation methods be used? There seems to be a significant discrepancy when trying to balance the gas consumption across the entire plant; could any experts provide some guidance?
Normally, the data indicated on the nameplate of the unit refers to the inlet flow rate. In the eyes of designers, air compressors do not experience any air leakage; if more capacity is needed, it’s possible to choose a model with a larger size, and a small centrifugal compressor would also work well for this purpose
