IA capacity

Are you kidding? How would we know without knowing the:

1. Size of the plant
2. Number of instruments requiring air in the plant
3. The amount of air each of the instruments require

?

My recommendation: Hire an engineer.

Mikerho:

Tks for your suggestion. You seem to be so serious to me.

Give you a star... and thank you.

Add em up bro

Use the calculator.

Guest:

Adding what up? Have you ever done this before?

What is you have several control/pneumatic valves or thousand of them in your plant? And what do you mean my adding them up? How to size the IA back-up tank? What if the compressor fails? How to size the compressor capacity?

I mean where I should go from this?

Please refer to the answer given @ #1 by Mikerho. First, determine size, number, and amount as suggested.

After you have those quantified, then follow @ #3. Tally em' up bro.

We cannot help you on the first step, not having seen your plant.

Your air supply must exceed your air demand with some margin of safety.

Hi all:

If one factory demands ~200Nm3/h of compressed air. It means that we should have one or two air compressors at capacity ~300Nm3/h. Supposedly it is correct.

As common sense, do we need to design an air storage tank to backup if the power is interrupted?

With this capacity of air compressor, how is the approximately the capacity of the buffer tank? Is that Ok for it to be as ~300Nm3.
