Need help - Compressor preliminary sizing
(OP)
Hello all,
First, i am a french junior engineer working for a "small" engineering company involved in conceptual, basic, detailed studies company.
I am looking for Excel spreadsheets for compressors (common types) preliminary sizing, and also relevant articles on the subject that you would know from CHE, CEP or HP namely.
So, would you be so kind to let me know if possible?
Of course i am trying to develop mine but i think it is maybe a good idea to inspire from work done by other people worldwide and namely by experienced engineers.
Thanking you all in advance
Wishing you a nice day

RE: Need help - Compressor preliminary sizing
as far as articles, again, this information is available via the internet or directly from compressor mfg's. there are textbooks regarding compressors written by some saavy and seasoned engineers available available via internet.
a search via google will yield results.
hope this helps.
good luck!

That way I never have to wonder which of the simplifying assumptions that went into the "generalized" spreadsheet are going to bite me on the butt. If I tell a client that their application calls for "a JGK/4 set up as a 2 stage with XX cylinder sizes and probably should be run by a Cat 3516 or Waukesha 7042" then they have a good starting point. If I say "it looks like 800 hp and probably should be 2 stages" then they don't have anything worth having.
