    Windrock Calculations

    Boyle's laws describe the inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas when temperature is held constant. Boyle's first law states that for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. Boyle's second law describes how pressure and temperature directly relate when volume is held constant - as temperature increases, so does pressure. The ideal gas law combines these relationships and equates that the pressure times volume divided by temperature is constant. Windrock uses these gas laws and formulas involving force, work, power, and flow to calculate compressor performance parameters like theoretical temperature, capacity, and flow balance.

    Boyles 1st Law

    If temperature remains constant, the


    volume occupied by a given weight of gas
    varies inversely with its absolute pressure.
    As the volume of gas is reduced, its
    pressure increases.
    P1*v1 = p2*V2
    20 psia * 10 cu.Ft. = 40 psia * 5 cu. Ft.
    If the volume reduces to half of its original
    size, the absolute pressure doubles

    Boyles 2nd Law


    If the volume of a given quantity of gas is held
    constant, the pressure varies directly with the
    absolute temperature.
    When the volume of gas remains the same and the
    absolute temperature of the gas increases, the
    pressure increases proportionately.
    P1/p2 = T1/t2
    100 F = 560 R
    200 F = 660 R
    660/560 = 1.18
    100 psia pressure raised from 100 F to 300 F will
    cause the pressure to raise to 118 psia.

    Ideal or Basic Gas Law


    (P1*v1)/t1 = (p2*V2)/T2
    P = Absolute pressure
    V = Volume
    T = Absolute temperature

    If this equation is not balanced, it means that:


    There is a leakage
    Internal (rings, valves, unloaders)
    External (packing, etc.)

    There is a temperature entering or leaving the


    process

    Data needed for Windrocks calculations


    (Basic)

    Compressor Geometry

    Bore
    Stroke
    Connection Rod Length
    Rod diameter

    Synchronization (Piston position reference)


    Gas composition
    Taken data
    Pressure behavior during a complete cycle.
    Temperatures (suction, discharge)

    Formulas
    Force = Pressure * Area
    Example: 140 psi * (142 * Pi/4) = 140 * 153.9 = 21,546 pounds

    Work = Force * Distance (stroke)


    Example: 21,546 * 14 = 301,644 in-pounds or 25,137 ft-pounds

    Power = Work / Time (1000 ft-pounds/s = 1.81 hp)

    Theoretical Temperature
    Calculated from suction temperature, k
    value and compression ratio.
    T2 = ((T1+460)*R^((K-1)/K))-460
    T2 = Theoretical discharge temperature
    T1 = Beginning temperature (F)
    R = Absolute compression ratio
    K = Ratio of specific heats

    Capacity (mmscfd)

    mmscfd = (dv * VE * rpm * pr correction * temp correction) / Z


    mmscfd = flow in million std cu ft of gas/day
    dv (displaced volume) = area * stroke
    VE = Volumetric efficiency (from pressure trace)
    rpm = revolutions per minute compressor speed

    pr correction = absolute pressure / standard pressure


    temp correction = 520 / absolute temperature
    Z = compressibility
    Calculated at suction and/or discharge conditions

    Flow Balance
    The calculated suction flow rate divided by
    the calculated discharge flow rate.
    A result greater than 1.0 indicates gas
    leaking out of the cylinder into a low
    pressure area.
    A result less than 1.0 indicates gas leaking
    into the cylinder from a high pressure
    area.
