Example 2.2
Determine air consumption at a specific
EMS setting.
Step 1 : Determine air X Factor. In order to determine
the air X Factor, identify the two air EMS set-
ting curves closest to the EMS setting estab-
lished in example 2.1 (in this case, the point lies
between the air curves for EMS setting 1 and
2). The point representing your EMS setting
(1.8) must be approximated and plotted on the
EMS curve along the horizontal line represent-
ing your discharge pressure (in this case, 40
psig). This air point is different than the fl ow
point plotted in example 2.1. After estimating
(or interpolating) this point on the curve, draw
a vertical line downward until reaching the
bottom scale on the chart and identify the air
X Factor (fi gure 7).
Step 2 : Determine air consumption. Multiply your
setting 4 air consumption (14 scfm) value by
the air X Factor obtained above (0.40) to deter-
mine your actual air consumption.
In summary, for an application requiring 18.9 lpm
(5 gpm) against 2.8 bar (40 psig) discharge pressure,
the pump inlet air pressure should be set to 4.1 bar
(60 psig) and the EMS dial should be set to 1.8. The
pump would then consume 9.5 Nm
3 /h (5.6 scfm) of
compressed air.
