Issues related to the air compressor station
Thread Content
Can a 0.8 MPa, 16.1 m3/min screw air compressor and two 0.7 MPa, 10 m3/min piston air compressors be connected in series and share a 1 m3 buffer tank?； Have you ever worked on the design of air compressor stations? I’d like to ask the experts here
Are three air compressors used in series?
It’s in series, damn it; shouldn’t it be called parallel? Go and take a look at what series and parallel circuits are in junior high school physics. The buffer tank also serves to store air, allowing for a continuous supply of air even after the compressor stops working. What is the air flow rate at the back there? If it exceeds 30 m3/min, it becomes quite difficult to maintain a stable supply of air to this small tank
Yes, it’s in parallel. Is this reasonable? The gases at 0.8 MPa and 0.7 MPa pass through a single pipe to reach the buffer tank
