During hot seasons the inlet temperature of Nitrogen increases, as a result compressor consumes more power for compressing a specific mass ratio of fluid and consequently total energy consumption of the compressor increases as well. In this research, a three stage centrifugal compressor with intercooler was modeled thermodynamically in order to decreases the energy consumption of the compressor...

Previous work on stabilization of compressor surge is extended to include control of the angular velocity of the compressor. First a low-order centrifugal compressor model is presented where the states are mass flow, pressure rise, and rotational speed of the spool. Energy transfer considerations are used to develop a compressor characteristic. In order to stabilize equilibria to the left of th...

A new approach to choosing the optimum design of reciprocating compressors is discussed. Economic criteria ore included together with optimisation procedures which account far thermodynamic criteria of performance, These procedures are applied to a mathematical model of a compressor to produce a "best" design. Such factors as initial cost, interest rates, depreciation, inflation, running costs,...

Conceptual design of scroll expander and scroll compressor for 10 kW-class Stirling engine utilizing solar energy as heat source has been carried out. CO2 was chosen as the working fluid, since it is nontoxic, inflammable and it has relatively higher density among probably usable gases. Gas temperature at the expander inlet was set at 700 C, and that at the compressor inlet was at 40°C. System ...

The key component of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system is an air compressor/expander. The roundtrip efficiency of this energy storage technology depends greatly on the efficiency of the air compressor/expander. There is a trade off between the thermal efficiency and power density of this component. Different ideas and approaches were introduced and studied in the previous works to imp...

In this paper we evaluate the actuator rate requirements for control of rotating stall using a bleed valve and provide tools for predicting these requirements. Modiication of both the stable and unstable parts of the compressor characteristic via addition of continuous air injection serves to reduce the requirement of a bleed valve used for the purpose of rotating stall stabilization. Analytica...

This paper presents the results of performance testing of a single-stage centrifugal compressor operating under wet gas conditions. The test was performed at an oil and gas operator’s test facility and was executed at full-load and full-pressure conditions using a mixture of hydrocarbon gas and hydrocarbon condensate. The effect of liquid was investigated by changing the gas-volume fraction bet...

In this paper, a novel implementation of 8x8 Multiplier using 4-2 Compressors is presented; which produces quick results, especially for use in Digital Signal Processors and in Microprocessors. This multiplier uses a new partial-product reduction format which consecutively reduces the maximum output delay. The new design of multiplier requires less number of MOSFET’s compared to Wallace Tree Mu...

This paper refers to the development of new type rotary compressors suspended with twin springs in a lo~ s1de pressure shell. We compared several types of compress~rs, for example h1gh side pressure shell type, low side pressure shell type, external-suspended type, internal-suspended type, and so on, from the viewpoint of noise reduction, vibration control and transient phenomena such as start-...
