Air measurement setup Air tank made up of MS sheet, Size 400 mm x 400 mm x
400 mm fitted on strong stand made upon MS sq. tubes.
Orifice: circular 14 mm dia, Cd = 0.67
Manometer: U tube 0 -30 cm, water filled
Air connection: Rubber hose pipe
Electric panel Panel: Plywood
Starter: DOL
Energy meter: 3 phase
Equipped with temperature indicator with selector switch
Procedure:
1. Check connection and ensure direction of rotation of compressor.
2. Close shut off valve.
3. Fill manometer with water.
4. Start the motor and observe pressure on gauge located on the tank.
5. Adjust constant pressure P3 = 2 bar on the pressure gauge by controlling the position of
delivery valve.
6. Note down the reading of manometer.
7. Note down the time required for 5 blinks on energy meter.
8. Repeat the steps 6 and 7 for different values of P3 as 4,6,8… bar
9. Tabulate all the readings and perform the calculations of isothermal, volumetric and
mechanical efficiency.
Nomenclature:
Observations:
1. Diameter of orifice = d o = 14 mm
2. Coefficient of discharge = C d =0.67
3. Density of water = w = 1000 Kg/m3
4. Energy meter constant = k = 1280 imp / kW hr
5. Barometric pressure = Atmospheric pressure = Pa = 95.3 kPa
6. Atmospheric temperature = Ta = 30 0C
7. Ideal gas constant for air = 0.287 kJ/kg K
