Air demand & compressor screening
Separate average, sustained and peak demand; prepare a traceable specification.
New projects stay in memory until you choose Save or Export. Local saving is not a cloud account. Contacts are excluded from saved project files.
Calculations run on this device. A result is a preliminary estimate, not engineering approval. No documented model operating points have been imported yet.
Growth applies to the entered process demand. Already included leaks and purge are never added twice. Equipment duty affects average only; simultaneous active units determine the scenario peak. No kW or model is guessed.
Required data & method sources
- Measured demand or equipment count, simultaneous use and sourced per-unit flow
- One explicit flow basis, average/peak distinction and already-included uses
- Selected growth, losses, use-point pressure and optional control allowance
- Air quality, electrical/site requirements and documented model data for candidate screening
Method references only; not manufacturer performance data or engineering approval.
