Air pressure needed at compressor outlet
Air pressure needed at compressor outlet
(OP)
Dear All,
Suppose I have a 5 storey building and air at 5 bar is needed at the 5th floor where height of each floor is 3 mtr, what should be the pressure at the compressor discharge which is placed at the ground floor? In general whether elevation plays a role in determining the discharge pressure of the compressor? as in the case of water, in order to pump it to a height of 10 mtr, we need to have 1 bar static pressure + pressure loss in the pipe.
Thanks in advance

RE: Air pressure needed at compressor outlet
Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted on objects by the weight of the air molecules above them. While air molecules are invisible, they have mass and occupy space.
As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases. For example, atmospheric pressure pushes against the earth at 14.7 pounds per square inch (1 kilogram per square centimeter) at sea level, yet drops to 14.2 pounds per square inch at 1,000 feet. It is also important to realize there is a difference between atmospheric pressure and gauge pressure. Most pressure gauges are designed to measure the amount of pressure above the ambient atmospheric pressure.

Comprehension is not understanding. Understanding is not wisdom. And it is wisdom that gives us the ability to apply what we know, to our real world situations
