Remarks:

  1. After compression air is 100% saturated
  2. Pressure at installation location 1.01325 bar (atmospheric pressure)
  3. The maximum humidity of the temperature at the installation location fmax TU [g/m³] is taken from a stored table
  4. The maximum humidity of the temperature downstream from the compressor outlet fmax TA [g/m³] is taken from a stored table
  5. The maximum humidity of the temperature downstream from the refrigerant dryer fmax T3 [g/m³] is taken from a stored table

Did you know that in a single day shift (8h at full capacity):     

  • at a volumetric flow rate of 1000 m³/h,         
  • a final compression pressure of 10 bar (g) and         
  • an air humidity of 60% (at an ambient  temperature of 30°C) a total of approx. 140 litres of condensate arises?
