Rotary Air Compressor Test Rig Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-TL-10058
Jlab Export is a leading Rotary Air Compressor Test Rig Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Rotary Air Compressor Test Rig (code EL-TL-10058) is a bench for testing a rotary vane compressor driven by a 3 HP electric motor. A calibrated orifice meter with water manometer measures the air drawn in, a pressure gauge reads the discharge pressure and an energy meter the power input, giving free air discharge, power consumption and volumetric efficiency. This vane compressor rig is manufactured by JLab in Ambala, India.

How a Vane Compressor Moves Air
In a rotary vane compressor the rotor turns off-centre inside a cylindrical casing, and vanes sliding in its slots are thrown out against the casing wall, dividing the space into cells. Each cell grows as it passes the inlet and draws in air, then shrinks as the rotor carries it towards the outlet, compressing the air before release. Because many cells pass the outlet every revolution, delivery is far smoother than from a piston compressor. Some air leaks back past the vane tips, and more so at higher pressure ratios, which is one reason the volumetric efficiency falls as delivery pressure rises.
Free Air Discharge and Power
The orifice manometer reading gives the free air discharge, the volume flow referred to intake conditions. Counting energy meter revolutions over a period timed with the stop clock gives the power drawn: the revolutions divided by the meter constant give the energy used, and that energy divided by the time is the power. Volumetric efficiency is the free air discharge divided by the compressor displacement at the speed read on the tachometer. Closing the delivery control valve in steps raises the discharge pressure, so free air discharge and power can be plotted against pressure, and their ratio gives the specific power in kW per unit of air delivered.
