Is there a difference between the flow rate and the displacement of an air compressor?

There is a clear difference between the flow and displacement of the air compressor. The core definition of the two is completely different from the actual direction. The specific differences are as follows:

1. Core Definition Differences
Displacement: refers to the moving parts of the air compressor. The total volume of air that can be pushed out in theory per unit time is an inherent attribute of the equipment itself and is only determined by the mechanical structure of the equipment itself.
Flow: refers to the air compressor in the actual operating conditions, the final output of the normal air volume, is the actual output of the real value of the equipment.
2. actual scene difference

Displacement is the theoretical upper limit value determined when the equipment leaves the factory, regardless of leakage and loss during operation. The flow rate will be affected by various factors such as the field environment and operating conditions, and the value is usually less than the corresponding displacement, which is the effective gas volume that can be directly used in actual production.

The two correspond to the theoretical output capacity and actual output capacity of the equipment respectively, and cannot be directly mixed in daily operation and maintenance and capacity accounting scenarios.
