SINGLE STAGE AIR COMPRESSOR TEST RIG

Product Description

Product Description

Single Stage Air Compressor Test Rig consists of a singlestage reciprocating type air compressor driven by 1 HP motor through a belt.The outlet of the air compressor is connected to reservoir (Tank) and suctionis connected to another air tank with an orifice plate and a water manometer.

Bellow is fitted on one side of this air tank to regulatethe flow. Temperature of inlet and outlet of air and pressure at outlet can bemeasured by Temperature sensor and pressure gauge.

Experimentation:

To calculate the volumetric efficiency.
