7.2.5. FAD Required L B



When calculating the FAD required L B , allowances of 5 % for losses, 10 % for reserves and a 15 % margin for error are added to the calculated total consumption value .


    = 1565 l/min
    v = 5 %
    r = 10 %
    e = 15 %

The FAD quantity L B , required to give consumer devices an adequate supply of compressed air is approx. 2035 l/min. This value is the basis for determining the size of the compressor and the main pipeline.
