The flow rate measurement for vacuum is exactly the opposite of that for compressed air. Using ambient, standard free air at atmospheric pressure (referred to as standard cubic feet per minute [scfm] as a common reference, the ambient free air entering the vacuum pipe will expand to fill the...
SCFM = CFM * (Pactual/14.7psi)*(528°R/Tactual) Let’s put it to use Case 1 We need to heat up an air flow of 25 CFM at a pressure of 30 psig, and 90°F up to 200°F. Convert flow to SCFM: 30 psig = 44.7 psia, 90°F = 550°R ...
