Compressor Parameters

Understanding of Air Compressor Parameters
An air compressor is a device that compresses gas and stores it as energy. It is widely used in various industrial and commercial applications, including factories, workshops, construction sites, outdoor construction, etc.

Many people are not very familiar with air compressors, especially the parameter meanings of air compressors. If you are purchasing air compressor equipment for your own company or want to short sell compressor wholesalers, you can take a look at this article's introduction to various parameters of air compressors for easy understanding and better selection of air compressors that meet your needs.


Basic working principle of air compressor
An air compressor is a device that converts mechanical energy into gas pressure energy by compressing the volume of air to increase its pressure, providing a power source for industrial equipment. The core principle is the cyclic process of inhalation compression exhaust.  

The main applications of air compressors
Industrial air compressors are mainly used in laser cutting, energy extraction, food production, electronic processing, outdoor engineering, medical equipment power, etc.

Introduction to key parameters of air compressor
1. Displacement (FAD)
Definition: The volume of gas discharged by an air compressor per unit time, commonly measured in m ³/min or CFM.

2. Exhaust pressure
The unit is PSI or bar, which refers to the output pressure of compressed air. For every 0.2MPa increase in pressure, energy consumption increases by approximately 14%.

3. Air compressor power
Priority should be given to first level energy-efficient models, commonly measured in KW or Hp. Theoretical power=gas consumption (m ³/min) ÷ efficiency coefficient (e.g. 7kW/m ³/min).

4. Noise and vibration
The sound intensity generated during the operation of the air compressor generally does not exceed 85dB

5. Energy efficiency ratio
Measuring the efficiency of an air compressor in converting electrical energy into compressed air energy, the lower the value, the more energy-efficient it is.

6. Exhaust temperature
The gas temperature at the exhaust port of the air compressor host should be controlled within the range of 75-100 ℃

7. Capacity of gas storage tank
V=Q × t (where Q is the displacement m ³/min and t is the allowable time for pipeline pressure drop)

If you are not very clear about some parameters when choosing an air compressor. You can have detailed communication with sales personnel, who will provide you with professional guidance.
