CompCap (Compressor Capacity) App evaluates different key performance indices in a single stage Industrial Air Compressors as shown in screen shots. Compressed Air system is one of the energy intensive utility often ignored once it is installed and running. It is also one of the least energy efficient. Depending upon quality of maintenance and subsequent wear and tear, compressor tends to degrade over a period of time. Therefore, a periodic assessment of performance is necessary to validate its service under given conditions and application. App helps in running quick tests to estimate both FAD and leakage in the compressed air systems in order to assess its energy saving potential.
Ambient Properties:
Ambient conditions such as atmospheric pressure, temperature that varies with altitude altitude coupled with humidity have considerable impact on compressor performance. The app computes the atmospheric pressure for any given altitude. Data for some of the higher altitude (> 1000m) cities are also provided for convenience.
Compressor Specification Data:
A typical compressor specification data sheet is show in the screen shot. FAD, motor horsepower and rpm data are the minimum requirement based on manufacturers data sheet. Additional data pertaining to reciprocating cylinder helps to determine the swept volume as well as range for FAD for general verification. Volumetric efficiency is function of cylinder clearance and pressure ratio. Clearance in compressors are generally in the range of 4% to 12% of total swept volume. This helps to determine its actual free air delivery (FAD) capacity.
FAD/Leakage Testing
As the compressor put more hours in service, the natural wear and tear could bring down the performance of any compressor. Therefore, it is often necessary to run tests to determine its capacity and also any excess leakage in the compressed air system. This app helps to run quick tests to estimate the losses and concern for any further investigation.
Result supplement:
Additional information such as cooler load, moisture level, isothermal efficiency etc. is provided for quick reference along with key performance criterion in app notes.
