How to Evaluate Clearance factor?

Clearance factor evaluator uses Clearance Factor = Clearance Volume/(Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Clearance Volume) to evaluate the Clearance Factor, Clearance factor formula is defined as a measure of the efficiency of a chromatography column, which represents the ratio of the volume of the column available for solute molecules to the total volume of the column. Clearance Factor is denoted by C symbol.

How to evaluate Clearance factor using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Clearance factor, enter Clearance Volume (Vc) & Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor (V1) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Clearance factor

What is the formula to find Clearance factor?
