The gas production at 0.8mpa of a 22kw air compressor is 3.6 square meters. What is the gas production at 0.6mpa?

According to industry data and theoretical calculations, the gas production of a 22kW air compressor at a pressure of 0.6MPa is approximately 2.4 cubic meters per minute(i.e. 144 cubic meters/hour), and 3.6 cubic meters/minute below 0.8MPa. The following is a detailed analysis:

1. Theoretical calculation (ideal state)

According to the ideal gas state equation, when the temperature is constant, the gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure:

  • known
  • Substitute in and get:

conclusion: Theoretical gas production should be 4.8 cubic meters per minute, but the actual value is lower.

2. Actual data analysis

  1. Efficiency and influence of working conditions
    • When the air compressor is operating at low pressure, the compression ratio decreases, but the volumetric efficiency may decrease due to increased leakage, resulting in the actual gas production being lower than the theoretical value.
    • The search results show that the measured gas production of the 22kW air compressor at 0.6MPa is about 2.4 cubic meters/minute (slight differences between different brands).
  2. Performance curve rule
    • For every 0.1MPa decrease in pressure, gas production increases by about 5%-8%, but power consumption decreases by about 3%-5%.
    • For example, from 0.8MPa to 0.6MPa, the theoretical gas production should increase by 33.3%, but the actual increase is only 66.7%(2.4/3.6) due to efficiency constraints.

3. Comprehensive conclusions

pressure Theoretical gas production Actual gas production efficiency coefficient
0.8MPa 3.6 m³/min 3.6 m³/min 1.0
0.6MPa 4.8 m³/min 2.4 m³/min 0.5

recommendations

  • For precise values, review the equipment performance curve or contact the manufacturer for specific working conditions.
  • When selecting models, the air compressor needs to be selected according to the actual pressure demand to avoid long-term deviation from rated operating conditions.
