Calculating Storage for Demand Events

Tom Taranto

Jason Brister

Neil Mehltretter

Join Keynote Speaker, Tom Taranto, Owner, Data Power Services, to discuss design calculations to engineer storage volume for specific applications, rather than using general rules of thumb to estimate the amount of storage volume. He will also review calculating storage volume for the unanticipated shutdown of a compressor and the need to accommodate the permissive start-up time of a stand-by compressor. He will also discuss calculating dedicated storage volume to improve performance of a high speed “flying cut-off cylinder.”

Our first Sponsor speaker is Jason Brister, Product Manager, BEKO Technologies. His presentation, “Storage Considerations When Using Desiccant Dryers” will provide an overview of typical air consumption rates for different types of desiccant dryers and discuss why dry storage can be beneficial for desiccant dryer systems.

Our second Sponsor speaker is Neil Mehltretter, Engineering Manager, Kaeser Compressors. His presentation, “How Controls and Piping Affect Large Air Demand Events” will discuss how single compressor systems and multiple compressor systems operate during high demand events, whether additional measurement points can be helpful, and what impact piping can have on these events.
