The development of condensate during compression
Calculation step 1: amount of water sucked into the compressor
Calculation step 2: condensate accumulation after the compressor
Calculation step 3: Condensate accumulation after the refrigeration dryer
Calculation step 4: Total condensate
Total condensate discharged
0,00 [l/h]
Remarks:
- Air 100% saturated after compression
- Pressure at installation site 1.01325 bar (atmospheric pressure)
- The maximum humidity of the temperature at the installation site fmax TU [g/m³] is taken from a stored table
- The maximum humidity of the temperature after the compressor outlet fmax TA [g/m³] is taken from a stored table
- The maximum humidity of the temperature after the refrigeration dryer fmax T3 [g/m³] is taken from a stored table
Did you know that in a day shift (8h full load):
- at a volume flow of 1000 m³/h,
- a final compression pressure of 10 bar (g) and
- a humidity of 60% (at 30°C) a total of approx. 140 l condensate is produced?
