Water condensation in convey air

Posted in: , on 8. May. 2006 - 23:40

dear all,

For anyone who is interested in calculating water condensation in air systems.

Whether compressed air systems or pneumatic conveying installations

The calculation is not working at boiling points at a certain pressure.

F.i. at 100 degr Centigrade and an absolute pressure of 1 bar(a), there is no dry air, but 100 % vapor.

If someone can improve the calculation, that would be great.

success

dear all,

For those, who downloaded the file :

The starting condition can also be seen as "condition no1" of the air you are considering.

F.i. the intake of an air compressor.

That air has a certain amount of water vapor.

Then, that air is compressed to a certain pressure and temperature, that can be considered as condition no2 or local..

F.i. right after the mixing zone of a pneumatic cement conveying installation.

The amount of water (vapor + condensated) under condition no2 is the same as under condition no1.

If the saturated water vapor pressure (condition no2) results in less vapor water than under condition 1,

then the difference is condensated to water.

That is the condensated amount of water and calculated as the amount of water that has bonded with the cement.

For a next calculation, condition no 2 can become the starting condition.

I am also interested if this small program is usefull to you.

May be we should develop more of those "handy" calculation programs and share them.

all for now

Teus
