Calculate the time needed to fill a compressor

[Kostis82]

Dear all,

I would like to have your help for a problem that i face. I know that it is a little bit ridiculous, but my brain is stacked right now!

I have a helium compressor that i want to fill it with helium at room temperature 293K @ 1.013bar. This compressor will be connected with a pipe. As i want to size the pipe i assume that the filling procedure takes about an hour. I have available 500mbar of Δp for a distance of 10-15 meters.

Which method should i follow?

Thanks everybody in advance,
Regards
Koniako

It's not clear what you are trying to do.

Are you talking about filling a receiver (a tank) with helium gas?

Hi steamking,

I am trying to size the pipe for filling my compressor. The mass of the compressor that i have to fill is 2m3 of gaseous helium and i try to calculate the size of the line..! I am sorry if i didn't explain better..!
