Cost formula for compressors
Thread Content
If, based on factors such as flow rate and inlet/outlet pressures, one wants to calculate the price of a hydrogen compressor, what formula should be used? And what formula should be used to calculate the cost of operating the compressor?

The cost of purchasing large compressors can be determined by consulting similar organizations or by asking the manufacturer directly, as such items are not produced in bulk. Then a tender is held. At the same time, there is a big difference in price between imported and domestic products; domestically, Shenmu is quite well-known. It has a large reciprocating hydrogen compressor, worth roughly 9 million I think. As for the operating costs, it mainly depends on the power of the compressor. If steam is used, it depends on the cost per hour of steam consumed by the turbine; if electricity is used, it depends on the number of watts utilized. Of course, there are also lubricants, fuel, and other materials.
