Dear KBhalchandra,
The delivered air mass equals the stored air mass in the tank.
delivered air mass = time * 0.3964 * 1.293 * 1 * 273/(273+t)
stored air mass = 3 * 1.293 * 7 * 273/(273+t)
resulting in : time = 3 * 7 / 0.3964 = 52.9 seconds.
If the compressor has a lower inlet pressure than 1 and if the inlet temperature differs from the tank temperature, the filling time of the tank also changes.
Take some measurements and use the equation again.
I would say that your compressor is running OK.

Air Compressor Efficiency
Dear All,
I want to calculate the efficiency of Screw compressor. I have following data with me.
Comp capacity - 840 cfm
receiver cap. - 3 met cube
it takes one min to reach the pressure of 7 bar.
Now I want to knw the efficiency at what I am running the compressor???
pl help me. ■
