Flywheel design for air compressor
Flywheel design for air compressor
(OP)
I am designing a 2 cylinder reciprocating air compressor that uses around 13 HP. The air compressor is currently connected to a 15 HP motor. I want to add a flywheel to my design to limit the running torque. The motor is running at 1725 RPM. Can anyone guide me the proper method to perform the calculations?





RE: Flywheel design for air compressor
Per NEMA MG-1 2009, Table 12-7 for 15HP, 1800RPM Design A or B motor, the maximum Load WK^2 (exclusive of motor WK^2) is 75 lb^ft^2
If there is belt or gears involved, the inertias need to be adjusted to motor speed.

should have been
75 lb*ft^2
