Stresses In Reciprocating Compressor Discharge Tubes During Starting
نویسندگان
چکیده
A numerical method is presented for computing the time varying stresses in reciprocating compressor discharge tubes during starting. The tube is described using shell elements, and mounting springs are described using beam elements. Mass and stiffness matrices are assembled into a second order system of equations that is then solved in a time step fashion along with mechanism and induction motor equations

Finite Element Modeling of Compressor Discharge Tubes
Discharge tubes in hermetically sealed refrigeration compressors are often a source of fatigue failure which is not serviceable and necessitates the replacement of the compressor. The finite element method can be used to model the discharge tube to help prevent such failures and to reduce costs by optimizing the tube. This investigation considers techniques for modeling discharge tubes with fin...
