Title: A Horsepower-Hour Meter For Compressors

Year Published: 1985
Abstract: A new instrument has been developed tor determining the amount of work done by a reciprocating compressor in pumping gas. The instrument measures compressor suction and discharge pressures and engine speed and, using a very low power CMOS microprocessor, computes the instantaneous horsepower for single or two stage compressors. Horsepower is integrated over time and displayed on a single crystal readout as horsepower-hours. The meter can also display total engine revolutions, instantaneous per stage horsepower, engine speed, and suction and discharge pressures. The horsepower-hour meter is powered by a small photovoltaic solar cell array that charges a selfcontained battery. The instrument is enclosed in a weatherproof box for outdoor installation.
