How to Calculate Screw Air Compressor Specifications and Model Numbers

When selecting a スクリューエアコンプレッサー, many users struggle to determine which specifications are best for their factory operations. While some refer to power ratings in kilowatts (kW), others use horsepower (HP) または product model numbers. So, how do you calculate and understand the correct specifications?

バルドル, we’ve simplified the process to help you make informed decisions when purchasing your air compressor.

Understanding Compressor Power Ratings

The most common method to evaluate a screw air compressor is by its power rating. In China and many other regions, HP (horsepower) is still frequently used in model naming conventions. Here’s a quick conversion formula:

Screw Air Compressor Power (kW) = Horsepower (HP) × 0.75

For example, a 75HP screw compressor is calculated as:

📌 75 × 0.75 = 55 kW

This means that when someone refers to a 75HP air compressor, it is equivalent to a 55kW unit in electrical terms.

How Baldor Names Its Compressor Models

Each manufacturer has its own naming system. At Baldor, our product models reflect both power そして technology type.

Here are some examples from our catalog:

How to Choose the Right Model

When choosing a screw air compressor, consider the following:

FactorDescription
Air DemandKnow your average and peak compressed air usage
Working PressureSelect a compressor rated slightly above your system pressure
Power SourceChoose between fixed-speed or inverter-driven (VSD) based on stability needs
Compressor SizeEnsure sufficient airflow (CFM/m³/min) for your tools or processes
Installation EnvironmentSpace, cooling type (air-cooled/water-cooled), and noise level matter
