How to Evaluate Ram Efficiency?

Ram Efficiency evaluator uses Ram Efficiency = (Stagnation Pressure of System-Initial Pressure of System)/(Final Pressure of System-Initial Pressure of System) to evaluate the Ram Efficiency, Ram Efficiency formula is defined as the ratio of the difference between the power output of the refrigerant at the evaporator outlet and the power input to the compressor, to the difference between the power input to the compressor and the power input to the compressor at zero load. Ram Efficiency is denoted by η symbol.

How to evaluate Ram Efficiency using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Ram Efficiency, enter Stagnation Pressure of System (p2'), Initial Pressure of System (Pi) & Final Pressure of System (Pf) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Ram Efficiency

What is the formula to find Ram Efficiency?
The formula of Ram Efficiency is expressed as Ram Efficiency = (Stagnation Pressure of System-Initial Pressure of System)/(Final Pressure of System-Initial Pressure of System). Here is an example- 0.866667 = (150000-85000)/(160000-85000).
How to calculate Ram Efficiency?
With Stagnation Pressure of System (p2'), Initial Pressure of System (Pi) & Final Pressure of System (Pf) we can find Ram Efficiency using the formula - Ram Efficiency = (Stagnation Pressure of System-Initial Pressure of System)/(Final Pressure of System-Initial Pressure of System).
