Compressor

 

The parameters on the Compressor parameter screen define the operating and performance assumptions used to model hydrogen compression requirements, energy consumption, and associated costs. The following parameters are available:

•Capacity Factor: This is the percentage of time the compressor is assumed to operate at its rated capacity and is used in estimating annual energy consumption and operating costs.

•Isentropic Efficiency: This is the efficiency of the compression process, representing how closely the compressor approaches ideal adiabatic compression.

•Mechanical Efficiency: This is the efficiency of the motor driving the compressor and is used to determine the electrical power required for compression.

•Compression Ratio: This is the maximum allowable pressure ratio across a single compression stage. It is used to determine the number of compressor stages required to achieve the specified discharge pressure.
