How to calculate the gas consumption of the factory

Calculation method for compressed air consumption in factories
The factory’s compressed air demand needs to be scientifically calculated based on actual production scenarios. The main steps are as follows:

1. Statistical gas equipment list
Sort out all equipment that relies on compressed air in the workshop (such as spraying devices, pneumatic tools, automated conveying lines, etc.) and clarify the air usage scenarios and working frequency of each equipment.

2. Calculate the gas consumption of a single equipment
According to the equipment manual or actual operating data, record its working pressure (such as 0.6MPa) and instantaneous flow (such as 100L/min). Note: The flow rate needs to be converted to the volume under standard state (normal temperature and pressure) to facilitate unified calculation.

3. Superpose total demand and adjust coefficients
Add the standard flows of all equipment and multiply them by the “simultaneous use factor”(usually 0.7-0.9). This factor avoids overestimation of demand because equipment will not operate at full capacity at the same time.

4. Reserve expansion space
Increase the margin by 10%-20% based on the calculation results to reserve space for future production capacity increases or new equipment to prevent insufficient gas consumption from affecting production.

Adapting advantages of Granklin air compressor
Granklin water-lubricated single-screw air compressor can accurately match factory gas needs:

  • Efficient and stable gas supply: The precise cooperation between the single screw and the star wheel ensures constant output pressure and avoids equipment efficiency degradation due to fluctuations in air pressure.
  • Oil-free cleanliness guarantee: Water lubrication technology eliminates oil pollution, and compressed air can be directly used for processes requiring high cleanliness (such as spraying, electronic component assembly).
  • energy conservation and consumption reduction: Low-energy design reduces operating costs, and combined with scientific gas consumption calculation, energy efficiency can be further optimized.

conclusion
The gas consumption of the factory needs to be scientifically calculated through equipment list sorting, flow conversion and coefficient adjustment, and the appropriate Granklin air compressor is selected. It can not only meet current demand, but also reserve space for future development, achieving high efficiency, stability, and energy-saving compressed air supply.
