One equipment requires a pressure of 0.1mpa, and 10 units require several air compressors

To determine how many air compressors you need to provide 0.1MPa pressure for 10 pieces of equipment, you can follow the following steps:

  1. Determine the air consumption of a single equipment
    • First, you need to know the amount of compressed air consumed per hour by each equipment at a pressure of 0.1MPa, usually in cubic meters per hour (m³/h). This data can usually be found in the technical specifications or instructions of the equipment.
  2. Calculate the total air consumption of 10 equipment
    • Multiply the air consumption of a single equipment by 10 to get the total air consumption of 10 equipment.
  3. Select the exhaust volume of the air compressor
    • Based on the total air consumption of 10 equipment, select an air compressor with a displacement slightly greater than the total air consumption. When selecting an air compressor, it is also necessary to consider whether the exhaust pressure of the air compressor meets the requirement of 0.1MPa.
  4. Calculate the number of air compressors required
    • If the exhaust volume of a single air compressor is large enough, only one air compressor may be needed to meet the total air consumption of 10 equipment. If the exhaust volume of a single air compressor is not enough to meet the total air consumption, multiple air compressors need to be used in parallel.

exemplified

  • Assuming that each equipment consumes 1 m³ of compressed air per hour at a pressure of 0.1MPa, the total air consumption of 10 equipment is 10 m³/h.
  • If you choose an air compressor with a displacement of 12 m³/h (considering a certain margin), then one air compressor can meet the total air consumption of 10 equipment.

precautions

  • In practical applications, it is also necessary to consider the impact of factors such as the efficiency of the air compressor, pressure loss, and environmental temperature on the performance of the air compressor.
  • If higher precision is required, you can consult the air compressor manufacturer or professional engineer for detailed calculations and selection.

What is the general operating pressure of a compressed air dryer

The operating pressure of the compressed air dryer needs to be comprehensively set according to the equipment type (freezing/adsorption type) and process requirements (dew point, oil content). It is generally recommended to control it between 0.6 and 1.2MPa. A balance between energy efficiency and drying effect can be achieved by matching compressor pressure, optimizing dryer unit configuration, and regularly maintaining adsorbent.
