Volumetric Efficiency in Air Compressors by DumithJayathilaka is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This experiment aims to determine how the volumetric efficiency of a reciprocating air compressor varies with delivery pressure. Tests were conducted at 450 RPM across delivery pressures of 10-50 PSI. Volumetric efficiency was calculated based on actual free air delivery and theoretical swept volume. The results show volumetric efficiency generally decreases with increasing pressure, ranging from 77.6% at 10 PSI to 35.6% at 50 PSI. Factors like clearance volume, valve timing and characteristics, temperature
