Indicated power of the compressor
Thread Content
What does the indicated power of a nitrogen-hydrogen compressor refer to? How do I calculate it? Please help everyone
The work directly used to complete the working cycle in the cylinder is called indicated work. The indicated work consumed per unit time is called the indicated power of the compressor. Calculations have specialized formulas
During the operation of a compressor, the power used directly to compress gas is known as indicated power, while the power required to overcome the frictional forces associated with the moving parts within the compressor is called frictional power. The sum of indicated power and frictional power constitutes the shaft power. As for the calculation formula, it is quite complex; it is recommended to consult materials such as the Compressor Manual.
