Compressed-Air Demand Sizing
Estimate required free-air delivery from connected end-use demand, diversity, leakage allowance, and future growth margin.
OPERATING LIMITS — Compressed-air capacity calculation only; verify measured demand, end-use pressure, leakage survey, receiver storage, dryer/filter losses, sequencing, and required air quality.

Technical Methodology & Engineering Principles
GOVERNING EQUATION
Peak demand = connected demand × diversity; required FAD = peak demand × (1 + leakage) × (1 + growth).
Assumptions & Scope
Planning screen only. Confirm end-use duty cycles, pressure bands, receiver storage, compressor sequencing, measured leakage, dryer/filter pressure drop, and the required ISO 8573 air-quality class.
Operating Range & Boundary
Use finite, physically meaningful inputs within the stated operating assumptions.
