aquakin.blower_power_kw(airflow_m3_per_d, system)[source]#

Blower shaft+motor power (kW) to compress airflow_m3_per_d from the inlet pressure to the diffuser discharge pressure (adiabatic).

P = (Q·p1/η)·(γ/(γ−1))·[(p2/p1)^((γ−1)/γ) − 1] with Q in m³/s and the pressures in Pa, returned in kW. Linear in the airflow (the pressure ratio is fixed by the submergence), so AD-clean.
