8. ENERGY PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF
COMPRESSORS
8.1

Introduction
The compressed air system is not only an energy intensive utility but also one of the least energy efficient. Over a period of time, both performance of compressors and compressed air system reduces drastically. The causes are many such as poor maintenance, wear and tear etc. All these lead to additional compressors installations leading to more inefficiencies. A periodic performance assessment is essential to minimize the cost of compressed air.

8.2

Purpose of the Performance Test
To find out:


Actual Free Air Delivery (FAD) of the compressor



Isothermal power required



Volumetric efficiency



Specific power requirement

The actual performance of the plant is to be compared with design / standard values for assessing the plant energy efficiency.

8.3

Performance Terms and Definitions
Compression ratio

: Absolute discharge pressure of last stage
Absolute intake pressure

Isothermal Power

: It is the least power required to compress the air assuming isothermal conditions.

Isothermal Efficiency

: The ratio of Isothermal power to shaft power

Volumetric efficiency

: The ratio of Free air delivered to compressor swept volume Specific power requirement: The ratio of power consumption (in kW ) to the volume delivered at ambient conditions.

for a particular ratio of upstream pressure (receiver) to the downstream pressure
(atmospheric) i.e. Mach number equals one.
When the pressure in the receiver is kept constant for a reasonable intervals of time, the airflow output of the compressor is equal to that of the nozzle and can be calculated from the known characteristic of the nozzle.
8.4.2

Flow Nozzle: Flow nozzle with profile as desired in IS 10431:1994 and dimensions
8.4.4 Measurements and duration of the test.
The compressor is started with the air from the receiver discharging to the atmosphere through the flow nozzle. It should be ensured that the pressure drop through the throttle valve should be equal to or twice the pressure beyond the throttle. After the system is stabilized the following measurements are carried out:






Receiver pressure
Pressure and temperature before the nozzle
Pressure drop across the nozzle
Speed of the compressor kW, kWh and amps drawn by the compressor

The above readings are taken for the 40%, 60%, 100% and 110% of discharge pressure values. •




Measuring instruments required for test
Thermometers or Thermocouple
Pressure gauges or Manometers
Differential pressure gauges or Manometers

8.8 Measurement of FAD by Pump Up Method
(Note: The following section is a repeat of material provided in the chapter-3 on Compressed
Air System in Book-3.)
Another way of determining the Free Air Delivery of the compressor is by Pump Up Method
- also known as receiver filling method. Although this is less accurate, this can be adopted where the elaborate nozzle method is difficult to be deployed.

8. Energy Performance Assessment of Compressors

Simple method of Capacity Assessment in Shop floor

Isolate the compressor along with its individual receiver being taken for test from main compressed air system by tightly closing the isolation valve or blanking it, thus closing the receiver outlet.
Open water drain valve and drain out water fully and empty the receiver and the pipeline. Make sure that water trap line is tightly closed once again to start the test. Start the compressor and activate the stopwatch.
Note the time taken to attain the normal operational pressure P2 (in the receiver) from initial pressure P1.
Calculate the capacity as per the formulae given below:
Actual Free air discharge

Q =

P2 − P1 V
× Nm3 / Minute
P0
T

Where

T

=

Final pressure after filling (kg/cm2 a)
Initial pressure (kg/cm2a) after bleeding
Atmospheric Pressure (kg/cm2 a)
Storage volume in m3 which includes receiver, after cooler, and delivery piping
Time take to build up pressure to P2 in minutes

The above equation is relevant where the compressed air temperature is same as the ambient air temperature, i.e., perfect isothermal compression. In case the actual compressed air temperature at discharge, say t20C is higher than ambient air temperature say t10C (as is usual case), the FAD is to be corrected by a factor (273 + t1) / (273 + t2).
EXAMPLE

An instrument air compressor capacity test gave the following results (assume the final compressed air temperature is same as the ambient temperature) – Comment?
Piston displacement
:
16.88 m3/minute
Theoretical compressor capacity
:
14.75 m3/minute @ 7 kg/cm2

...A business undertaking is an organisation which is engaged in some industrial or commercial activity. It represents an institutional arrangement for carrying on any kind of business activity. It may be owned and controlled by a single individual or by a group of individuals who have entered into a formal or informal agreement to jointly conduct the business. Every business undertaking is a separate and distinct business unit. It has its own identity and separate ownership. It can be distinguished from other undertakings on the basis of its ownership, management and control. According to Wheeler, a business undertaking is a concern, company or enterprise which buys and sells, is owned by one person or a group of persons and is managed under a specific set of operating policies". Thus, a business undertaking may be defined as an organisation operating under separate ownership, management and control and carrying on any business activity with independent risk- bearing. All business undertakings are directly or indirectly engaged in the transfer or exchange of goods and services for value. They deal in goods and services on a regular basis. Their main motive is to earn profits and they are exposed to various types of risks. Characteristics of a Business Undertaking The basic features of a business undertaking are as follows: 1. Separate identity: Every business undertaking has a separate identity. It has a distinct name and separate existence. Its assets and liabilities are...

Case, Kouzes and Drucker each have good theories and philosophies on entrepreneurship and leadership. Each had different ways of stating what they thought made a good entrepreneur but for the most part focus on some of the same things and agreed that with the right balance of these characteristics then succeeding, as an entrepreneur would be possible. One of the common elements that each focused on was people. Interaction with people is important when it comes to entrepreneurship and leadership skills according to Case, Kouzes, and Drucker. Each inferred that if a person does not have people skills, then the person would not succeed as an entrepreneur or a leader. People skills would be the ability to motivate others and interact. A leader cannot lead without being able to interact with people. Starting a business requires interaction with people on some level. Another common element that they all thought were important was not being afraid to take risk. Taking a risk in order to monopolize an industry to succeed is important.

The brand is a unique and high quality red wine brand that meets the growing preference of consumers. It will be distributed to several hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, and wine boutiques/shops that are located in the commercial business districts of the city-state. The brand is managed and owned by a group of wine-lover businessmen who have tremendous experienced in business administration, marketing and sales management and customer service. The owners are now looking for additional investments in order to capitalize the project well. The company has already made several negotiations with successful business distributors in Singapore. The company is confident to compete with many large distributors because it is closely working with top-notch suppliers and manufacturers who are known as wine experts or cellar masters. The target market is the Generation Y or the millennial because it is 77 percent of the population. This group also consumes wines at a faster and higher rate. The sales forecasts for the New Australian Company begin with $700,000 for the first year, and this will increase to 50 percent ($1, 050,000) in the second year, and 60 percent ($1,680,000) in the third year of operation.

...Recording Transactions Keeping business records accurate and up to date is important for the smooth running of a business. The business owner must record all of the money coming into the business from successful sales of the product and all of the money going out, such as expenses including money owed for storage, wages that are paid and money to purchase the stock. If a business fails to do this it may find itself not chasing payments, forgetting to pay bills or, even in trouble with HM Revenue and Customs. If the business does not record its transactions correctly, it cannot report its financial performance accurately and therefore tax payments may be wrong. By recording the sales made, the business owner is given a clear indication of what’s popular and so it becomes clear what products should have increased stock or altered price. In your case, it is very important that you monitor your sales as a new business will most likely not make any profit straight away, so it’s vital to record your transactions so you are able to at least breakeven until more customers become aware of your business and you can start to make a profit. Furthermore, since you have negotiated a one month credit with a supplier, it is important to record your transactions so you know that you can repay the supplier after the month has passed and avoid any consequences. It would be beneficial to you if you could keep your credit supply as then you will have money coming in from your customers to then...

...The United States exists in a capitalistic economy meaning that private enterprise is based on fair competition, economic freedom, and private ownership therefore; business is the heartbeat of our economy. Everything from manufacturing, health care, sales, and agriculture involves business in some way. Businesses provide jobs and produce goods and services that we depend on every day (What Role Does Business Play in Our Economy..?). They pay state and federal taxes to the government on their services provided. The taxes paid by businesses and the people employed by them allow the government to function. Looking at businesses in this way you can clearly see that business is a pivotal part of the economy. Within our economy two types of business organizations exist: for-profit and nonprofit. A for-profit organization will produce goods or services in the hopes of making revenue off its products. Most organizations you think of today are probably a for-profit establishment. Organizations that are classified as not-for-profit or nonprofit often operate under the guise of the emotional appeal of compassion but can also become major economic engines. They are business like establishments but unlike a for-profit business, their primary goals do not include making monetary profits. For profit businesses operate to generate revenue under the idea to have more profit than loss at the end of the day. Unlike for- profit businesses, nonprofits are organizations that are classified...
