Power Saving on Air Compressor.

Power Consumption Minimization of Khormoj Compressor Station

Arguably, the natural gas transmission pipeline infrastructure in Iran represents one of the largest and most complex mechanical systems in the world. The optimization of large gas trunk lines known as IGAT results in reduced fuel consumption or higher capability and improves pipeline operation. In the current study, a single-objective optimization was conducted for Khormoj compressor station o...

An Energy Saving Valve for Refrigeration Equipment Mounting Rotary Compressor

Intelligent Control of Air Compressor Production Process

The air compressor provides not only the required pressure air for the cooling equipment and refrigeration plant, but also the raw material required for the air separation plant. Utilizing the air compressor is extremely extensive in many significant departments such as the metallurgy, oil and chemical industry. The air compressor production process is a time-varying, delay and nonlinear comple...

Vibration Analysis of an Air Compressor Based on a Hypocycloidal Mechanism: an Experimental Study

In this paper, the experimental vibration analysis of a single cylinder air compressor based on a hypocycloid straight line mechanism (HSM) is investigated. The HSM mechanism uses planetary gears to convert rotational motion to purely linear motion. In the conventional air compressor, the slider- crank mechanism is replaced by the HSM mechanism with appropriate counterweights. The constructed s...

Optimal Efficiency-power Tradeoff for an Air Motor/compressor with Volume Varying Heat Transfer Capability

This paper presents the pressure-volume trajectories that yield the optimal trade-off between efficiency and power during the compression and expansion of air. These results could benefit applications such as compressed air energy storage where both high efficiency and power density are required. Earlier work established solutions for the simple case in which hA, the product of the heat transfe...
