A Large Modern High Speed Reciprocating Compressor
نویسنده
چکیده
The Grasso RC12, introduced early 1996, belongs to the largest reciprocating compressors in industrial refrigeration. The high-speed variant, the RC12E, has been introduced in Europe by the end of 1997: the ammonia variant runs at 1500 rpm, whilst the halocarbon variant has a maximum speed of 1200 rpm. The design philosophy will be illustrated focusing on the valve design. The compressor housing and the piston assembly design methodology will be presented briefly.

متن کاملVibration 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...
