Compressor Relation: Torque, Speed & Efficiency

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the relationship between torque, speed, and output efficiency in compressors, particularly in the context of a project involving a motor and gearbox. The user seeks clarity on how these factors influence compressor performance, especially under no-load conditions. There is a specific interest in identifying frictional and other losses in this setup. Additionally, the user inquires about the impact of motor speed and torque on the compressor's CFM and overall performance. The conversation highlights the need for foundational equations that link these components effectively.

Hi everyone!

I am new to mechanical engineering and recently I started about compressors. I am trying to find relation between torque, speed and output efficiency of the compressor. Can anyone help me with simple explanation so that I can understand.

I will be really thankful if you could help me!

Thank you.

Which part don't you understand?
 
Thank you for the reply.
Kindly note I am an electrical engineer so I am not familiar with those topics but I am in a need of the relation between those factors for my project.

There are many types of compressors and different types efficiency that I came across; I didn't know from where to start and how those factors are related.
 
Tell us about the project .
 
The part with compressor is I need to find the efficiency and loss at the end of the compressor driven by a motor coupled with gear box and I need to find the relation between the factors that affects them. So before all, I need to get relation equations between motor, gear box and compressor.
Thank you.
 
Thank you Nidum.
I am looking for something like that but not exactly. I am looking for previous stage of relation with gear box and compressor at no load condition.

So you just want to know what the frictional and other losses are for a compressor running under no load conditions ?
 
Probably yeah.!

Thank you so much nidum. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks again.

Heyyy guys,

I got another doubt! Does the speed and torque of motor have any effect on the compressors' CFM and performance?
