The Apparatus consists of a rotary vane compressor driven by an electric motor; Air intake is measured by an orifice meter and manometer, Discharge “pressure is measured by a pressure gauge. Power input of the compressor measured by an Energymeter. Thus the students can determine volumetric efficiency, power consumption and free air discharge of compressor.
