Existing standards (e.g. ISO 1217, ISO 5389, ISO 18740) for positive displacement compressors and dynamic compressors, do not provide clear and concise means of comparing different technologies.
\nThis International Standard provides simplified wire to air performance test methods that measure true performance of low-pressure air compressor packages.
\nThis document specifies the performance test method of electrically driven low-pressure air compressor packages, where the compression is performed by positive displacement or dynamic compression; utilising atmospheric air as the compression gas. Low-pressure air compressor packages are often referred to as “blowers”.
\nNOTE Throughout this document, the term ‘low-pressure compressor’ is used to describe a low-pressure air compressor (“blower”) package
\nLow-pressure compressors with and without means of controlling flow (control may be electrical (e.g. with a variable frequency drive) or mechanical or both) are covered.
\nThis document applies to low-pressure compressors meeting all the following limits:
\nAtmospheric inlet air pressure between 0.5 bara and 1.1 bara.
\nDischarge vs Inlet pressure differential between 0.1 bar and 2.5 bar.
\nDischarge vs Inlet pressure ratio between 1.1 and 3.5.
\nThis document is not applicable to:
\npositive displacement low-pressure compressors with a liquid in the compression element (such as liquid ring pumps and liquid injected low-pressure compressor of screw type)
\nmulti-stage low-pressure compressors other than multistage centrifugal compressors comprised of multiple, identical or very similar uncooled sections along a single shaft (repeating stages).
