Compressor Drive Engine Power Calculator

This document is an air compressor power requirements calculator from www.scubaengineer.com created by Steve Burton C.Eng. It calculates that for a pumping rate of 320 L/min, inlet pressure of 1 bar, and final fill pressure of 207 bars, the compressor would require 6407.10 watts or 8.59 horsepower of motor power. For single phase electrical requirements, with a motor efficiency of 75% and voltage of 220 volts, the current draw would be 38.83 amps. For 3-phase electrical, with motor efficiency of 75% and inter-phase voltage of 380 volts, the phase current would be 12.98 amps.
