| Determining receiver volume VR is accomplished primarily by
values gained from experience. BOGE recommends the following
ratios of compressor FAD  [l/min] to receiver volume VR [l] :
- Piston compressors VR=
Intermittent running is aimed for due to the properties of
the compressor.
- Screw compressors VR =
 /3
Constant running is aimed for due to the properties of the
compressor.
After defining the volume of the receiver, with piston compressors it is time to work out the cycle interval, which comprises the compressor running and idling times. The number of compressor cycles results from this. |
