High Pressure Compressor Configuration: Achieving 1000 Pound Pressure in Minutes

[jack001]

hello,

i want the configuration of a compressor having capability of producing 1000 pound pressure in a min.

is it possible to store that high pressure of compressed air in a cylinder having 2"(inches) diameter and 12"(inches) height?

thank you.

The rate at which a cylinder is simply a function of the flow rate into the cylinder and cylinder volume. Since you have an aproximate cylinder volume in mind, you can aproximate the flow rate into the cylinder you'll need in order to pressurize it to 1000 psig in one minute.

You could purchase a cylinder for this type of service or make your own depending on your ability to design and fabricate something like this. Making a cylinder out of pipe is simple enough, but you need to follow engineering standards for that. Typically, we use ASME codes in the US. In this case, the pressure vessel code should be used but a code stamp isn't required because the cylinder diameter is less than 6".
