If the compressor volume flow is described at standard conditions (14.7 psia, 68F), it will be needed to convert it
compressor discharge) at actual conditions of pressure and temperature. As an example this means converting vo
(m3/h)
Example Problem:
The volume flow of a compressor is described in standard conditions as 300 scfm. The compressor discharge
conditions are given as follows: a) Discharge pressure: 100 psig, b) discharge temperature: 40C. Calculate the
compressed air receiver volume for the given discharge conditions.
Calculations:
Volume at actual pressure and temperature is calculated by ideal gas law
Now by ideal gas law
P1*V1 / T1 = P2*V2 / T2
Where the subscript 1 describes the standard conditions of pressure and temperature and subscript 2 describes the actua
