Capacity Calculation Xls | Vacuum Pump
A pure ( \ln(P_i/P_f) ) calculation is a starting point, but real systems add complexity. Your XLS calculator must account for:
Given chosen pump speed S_pump and S_eff:
[
t_actual = \fracVS_eff \times \ln\left(\fracP_start - Q_total/S_effP_target - Q_total/S_eff\right)

Cell B10 formula: = (B2 * LN(B3/B4)) / B5 → This gives average speed in m³/s. Convert to m³/h: multiply by 3600. Cell B10 formula: = (B2 * LN(B3/B4)) /
