Optimum Design on Structural Parameters of Reciprocating Refrigeration Compressor Crankshaft

An Integrated Approach to Reciprocating Compressor Design

A typical reciprocating co~pressor consists of a motor, a pump, suction discharge system and a lubrication system. An integrated computer simulation model incorporating all these components simultaneously was developed to predict, evaluate and optimize the overall performance and reliability. For the given design variants of a compressor, the computer program first calculates the mass flow rate...

Theoretical Study of Design and Operating Parameters on the Reciprocating Compressor Performance

Mathematical simulation for the reciprocating compressor cycle incorporating the effects of common faults has been developed. The governing equations for different processes are derived by using first law of thermodynamics, continuity equation, equation of mass flow through valves, kinematic equation for piston movement and the cylinder heat transfer correlations. This paper gives the results o...

Optimal Valve Design for Reciprocating Compressor

We developed a novel discharge valve characters usmg the stopper to obtain the high efficiency reciprocating compressor for refrigerators. Generally, the sticky force occurred due to the shape of valve, stopper and oil between the valve and valve seat changed the process of valve motion and valve dynamics of compressor. In this paper, we can measure the characteristics of the sticky force and d...

Reciprocating Compressor Optimum Design and Manufacturing with Respect to Performance, Reliability and Cost

Reciprocating compressors are flexible to handle wide capacity and condition swings, offer a very efficient method of compressing almost any gas mixture in wide range of pressure, can generate high head independent of density, and have numerous applications and wide power ratings. These make them vital component in various units of industrial plants. In this paper optimum reciprocating compress...
