Suction Pressure given Compression Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Suction Pressure = Discharge Pressure of Refrigerant/Compression Ratio
P₁ = P₂/r
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Suction Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Suction Pressure is the pressure of the refrigerant before the compression. It is also called the suction pressure of the refrigerant.
Discharge Pressure of Refrigerant - (Measured in Pascal) - Discharge Pressure of Refrigerant is the pressure of the refrigerant after the compression stage or it is the pressure of the refrigerant at the discharge.
Compression Ratio - Compression Ratio is the ratio of the absolute stage discharge pressure to the absolute stage suction pressure.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge Pressure of Refrigerant: 8 Bar --> 800000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Compression Ratio: 4.75 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P₁ = P₂/r --> 800000/4.75

Evaluating ... ...

P₁ = 168421.052631579

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

168421.052631579 Pascal -->1.68421052631579 Bar (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.68421052631579 ≈ 1.684211 Bar <-- Suction Pressure

Which compression ratio is best?

Compression ratios usually vary between 1.05 - 7 per stage; however, a ratio of 3.5 - 4.0 per stage is considered the maximum for most process operations. Quite often, the temperature rise of the gas during the compression dictates a limit for the safe or reasonable pressure rise.

How to Calculate Suction Pressure given Compression Ratio?

Suction Pressure given Compression Ratio calculator uses Suction Pressure = Discharge Pressure of Refrigerant/Compression Ratio to calculate the Suction Pressure, Suction Pressure given Compression Ratio formula is defined as the measure of the pressure exerted by a compressor on the suction side, which is inversely proportional to the compression ratio, and is a critical factor in determining the performance and efficiency of a compressor in various industrial and engineering applications.
