How to choose air compressor

Mar 08, 2020

The air compressor is a special machine used to increase the pressure of the gas to facilitate the transportation and increase the pressure energy of the gas to meet the needs of the production process or power equipment.

If you want to build a new air compressor system or update the old compressor, you must pay attention to choose the appropriate compressor model, you should choose an energy-saving advanced compressor, and its performance indicators must meet the requirements for use. The selection principles are as follows:

(1) Understand the performance, scope of use, main parameters and required operating conditions of compressor products, and see if they can meet the requirements of operating conditions.

(2) To ensure safe and reliable operation under the conditions required by the production process, the selection should be based on the conditions of frequent operation, and should not be based on the maximum conditions.

(3) Ancillary equipment supporting the compressor, such as buffers, gas coolers, oil separators, etc., should be matched with the host and meet the requirements of the use process.

(4) To consider the power-saving benefits, the investment recovery period is:

Investment recovery period = p1-p0 / p2 <1 / 2-2/3 Compressor life cycle

P1-Converted cost of purchasing energy-saving (new) compressor products

P0-The converted value of the recycling cost after the old compressor is scrapped

P2-The converted value of annual power saving benefit
