Research of the dependence of pneumatic conveyor compressors power on project parameters of transport machines

Abstract

The paper considers the algorithm for calculating the pneumatic transport systems of the main constructions: with high vacuum and with different pressures. The analysis of the dependence of all calculation elements on the design data of the transport system of the considered structures was carried out. In order to accelerate the calculation of such systems, the analytical dependence of the power of the compressor drive on the type of cargo, the coefficient of concentration of the transported mixture, the design productivity, and the geometric parameters of the route, the number and types of auxiliary devices (ells and shutters) are constructed. A graphical analysis of the dependence of compressor drive power of the pneumatic transport systems with high vacuum and with different pressures on the design data: the mixture concentration coefficient, the length of transportation, the design productivity for the transportation of cement with a given route configuration. The directions for further research have been determined.
