    Calculating compressed air system leakage

    I should add that the GA 75 (75KW) compressor is one of two and there is an additional 90KW Variable speed drive compressor, so three in all. its just that this is the only time in the year where just one is running so the load, unload and off times can be measured. with regards to...

    Calculating compressed air system leakage

    I am looking to quanitfy our compressed air system leakage and have followed the usual steps of ensuring all air consuming products are off and then measuring load/unload times. I intended to use the following formula as found in relevant articles and webpages: % Leakage = (Tx100) / (T+t)...

    How to calculate thermal insulation savings?

    Thank you Markusl this is ideal for what I need, and not hard to calculate either (my University engineering math days are way behind me and are but a distant memory!) I take it by calculate the temp you mean measure, so I will do that once our summer shutdown is complete and our boiler is up...

    How to calculate thermal insulation savings?

    Hi I am working at a manufacturing plant and we are applying a second layer of glass fibre/alumnium foil insulation to an industrial cylindrical boiler, on top of a previous layer. I need to calculate the approximate savings to be able to give a ROI figure. The surface temp of the current...
