How normal is the gas volume of the 30L air compressor?

Regarding the normal gas volume range of a 30L air compressor, comprehensive judgment needs to be combined based on its working principle, standard parameters and actual working conditions. The following is a detailed analysis:

1. Definition of air compressor gas volume

The gas volume of an air compressor usually refers toexhaust volume(Volume flow), which is the volume of gas discharged per unit of time, in m³/min or L/min. This value needs to be converted tointake stateVolume at standard atmospheric pressure, temperature, etc.

2. Standard gas volume of 30L air compressor

  1. Relationship between gas tank volume and exhaust volume
    The 30L volume of the air tank is the same as itsRated volume at atmospheric pressure, but the actual volume of gas that can be accommodated is similar toworking pressureandtemperaturerelated. According to the ideal gas law:

  • If the maximum working pressure of the air compressor is 0.8MPa (about 8 times atmospheric pressure), the gas volume of the gas storage tank under high pressure is equivalent to that under normal pressure.240L)。
  1. exhaust volume standard
    The actual displacement of the air compressor is usually the nominal flow rate±5%。If the nominal displacement of the air compressor supporting the 30L air storage tank is, the normal range should be:

3. Factors affecting gas volume

factors influence mechanism
working pressure The higher the pressure, the larger the volume of gas held in the gas tank (the gas is compressed at high pressure).
temperature The increase in temperature causes the gas to expand, and the actual volume of the gas storage tank increases (which needs to be converted to standard temperature).
Air compressor type Screw type, piston type and other types have different efficiencies, which affects the actual exhaust volume.
Air storage tank volume The larger the volume, the more gas it can store, but the air compressor exhaust volume needs to be matched to avoid insufficient pressure.

4. Normal range judgment

  1. Air storage tank volume
  • under normal pressure: The 30L air tank can store 30L of air.
  • under high pressure: Taking 0.8MPa as an example, the storable gas is equivalent to atmospheric pressure240L
  1. Reasonableness of exhaust volume
  • If the nominal displacement of the air compressor is, the actual exhaust volume should bebetween.
  • example: If the nominal exhaust volume is 50L/min, the normal range should be 47.5~ 52.5 L/min.
  1. comprehensive judgment
  • normal standard: The gas volume of the gas storage tank at the maximum working pressure (converted to normal pressure) should be close to 8 to 10 times its nominal volume.
  • anomaly judgment: If the actual exhaust volume is lower than 90% of the nominal value for a long time, or the pressure of the air tank rises too slowly, there may be equipment failure or improper selection.

V. Conclusion

For air compressors for 30L air tanks:

  1. under normal pressure: The gas volume should be 30L.
  2. under high pressure: The gas volume (converted to atmospheric pressure) can reach 240L (taking 0.8MPa as an example).
  3. exhaust volume: The actual displacement should be ±5% of the nominal value, if the nominal displacement is, then the normal range is

If the gas volume of your air compressor deviates from the above range under standard operating conditions, it is recommended to check the equipment efficiency, gas tank tightness or re-evaluate whether the selection matches the needs.
