To calculate the dimensions of the intake duct, it is recommended that the speed of the incoming air is not less than 5 m
/ sec and should not be more than 10 m / sec. We suggest using the formula in Table F to calculate the cross sectional
area of the duct with an air speed of 5 m / sec.
Cross Sectional Area of the Duct ( m² ) = Minimum air circulation ( m³/h ) / 5 (Air Speed m/sec) x 3600
Tab. F
4.05 INTAKE PIPE :
If you decide to place the intake of the compressor in a different location of that of the compressor itself, you can
connect a pipe to the intake of the compressor. It is important that this pipe has a diameter of 40 mm or more. Make sure
it is not plugged or bent so as to create a bottleneck. At its end it is recommended to put a filter.
Once connected check the time to refill cylinders to make sure that the compressor has not decreased the air delivery.
If this situation is present, check the pipe because the compressor may be going into depression and the causes can be:
•
Pipe chokes
•
Pipe is too long (In this case the cross sectional area of the pipe should be increased).
