Study on the Fatigue Strength of a Suction Flapper Valve Used in a High Efficient Reciprocating Compressor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Suction valves with even thinner and narrower, used in a high efficient reciprocating compressor, are required in order to reduce suction resistances. However, low flow resistance suction valves run properly under the very severe operating condition of high periodic impact stress which can cause the compressor failure. In this study, the effects of the valve design parameters on the impact fatigue strength of suction valves are investigated with Finite Element Method (FEM). Suction valve design parameters are compared and verified with compressor durability tests.
