Compressor with a displacement of 10 meter cube hour

[maltamarco]

]Hi Guys

Can you help me with this :

If a compressor with a displacement of 10 meter cube hour is displacing gas with a pressure of 10 bar, it is displacing 100 meter cube hour ??
(10 meter cube x 10 bar)

No, the displacement of the compressor is the flow rate.

This compressor pumps 10 cubic metres of air per hour at 10 bar pressure.

It displaces 10m³/h of air.

But if after 1 hour I collect and expand and cool the gas to the STP value (1 atm 0 deg c) the volume will be 100 meter cube ??

No, it will be 10m³.

If it only takes 10m³ in over an hour, it can only put that amount out.
