What does 'design capacity' (or 'rated capacity') mean and what factors does the manufacturer take into consideration while declaring the 'design capacity' of the equipment?
e.g. if the manufacturer has expressed the design capacity of a plant as 6000 tons per day, is it equivalent to 2.19 million tons per annum given the fact that the equipment does require scheduled maintenance and also there are unplanned downtime, delays, max. process efficiency and various other factors that could adversely affect the actual production capacity.
In short, what I'm interested to know is how to determine the annual production capacity if the designed capacity is expressed in tons per day or tons per hour.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.
