Air compressor intercooler
Thread Content
A cooler is installed between the two stages of a two-stage centrifugal air compressor; it can be found in which manual how much the power consumption for the second stage of compression decreases for every 10-degree drop in the temperature at the cooler’s outlet.
Thank you... I need help... could you pass on the documents?……
Consult the compressor manufacturer; they have a lot of empirical data
This depends on the specific design of the compressor; consult the manufacturer.
Compressor power calculation: design inlet and outlet pressures, inlet and outlet temperatures, gas flow rate. Please post more detailed information, owner
About 1.5%... Using the formula P=RTln(p2/p1), temperature is proportional to power; with a change of dt=10, it’s approximately 10/(273+30) = 3%. For two-stage compression, it should be half of that, so around 1.5%
From personal experience, it’s around 2-3%.
