PISTON LUBRICATION IN RECIPROCATING COMPRESSORS

Calculation of the Hydrodynamic Lubrication of Piston and Piston Rings in Refrigeration Compressors

Investigation of Pressure Distribution and Frictional Heat on Self-Lubricated Piston Rings in Reciprocating Compressors

Piston ring sealing is of great importance in oil-free reciprocating compressors for high pressure application. Pressure distribution and frictional heat on piston rings have been investigated with the aim of finding the key factors influencing the life time of piston rings. A mathematical model simulating the unsteady flow within the gaps of piston rings was established to present the pressure...
