Is the compressor air delivery the same as the exhaust?

Is the air delivery and exhaust volume of the compressor the same?

When discussing whether the air transmission volume and exhaust volume of the compressor are the same, we first need to clarify the definition and measurement methods of these two concepts.

Gas delivery usually refers to the amount of gas delivered by the compressor to the system or equipment per unit time. This quantity is sucked and delivered by the compressor under specific working conditions, such as intake pressure, temperature and speed.

The displacement is the amount of gas discharged from the exhaust port of the compressor per unit time. It is the measured value when the gas is compressed and pushed to the exhaust port after the compression process is over.

Although both gas delivery and exhaust are related to the measurement of gas volume, they measure the gas flow at different stages of the compressor operation. Gas delivery focuses on the process by which the gas is sucked in and delivered, while gas exhaust focuses on the result of the gas being compressed and discharged.

In practical applications, due to the internal leakage of the compressor, the temperature change during the gas compression process, and other physical changes in the gas compression process, the gas delivery and exhaust volume may be different. Especially in compressors with high compression ratios, this difference may be more pronounced.

Therefore, we can conclude that the air delivery and exhaust volume of the compressor are not exactly the same under normal circumstances. They represent the gas flow at different stages of the compressor's working process, and may be affected by many factors.
