Reduction in the delivery pressure of a Compressor working at 7 bar, by 1 bar would reduce the power consumption by a) 6 to 10 % b) 2 to 3 % c) 12 to 14 % d) None of the above Answer : a) 6 to 10 %...
Identify the correct statement for air compressors. a. For every 5.5oC drop in the inlet air temperature, the increase in energy consumption is by 2%. b. For every 4 oC rise in ... increase in energy consumption is by 1% d. The energy consumption remains same irrespective of inlet air temperature Answer : c. For every 4 oC rise in the inter air temperature, the increase in energy consumption is by 1% ...
The specific power consumption of non lubricated compressor compared to lubricated type is ____ a) Lesser b) Same c) Higher d) None Answer : c) Higher...
Can you explain how temperature of inlet air affects the energy consumption of an air compressor? Answer : As a thumb rule “for every 4 °C rise in inlet air temperature results in a higher energy consumption by 1% to achieve equivalent output”. Hence cool air intake leads to a more efficient compression....
