The sound radiation characteristics of a semi-hermetic twin-screw compressor were studied while operating under controlled laboratory conditions at the Ray W. Herrick Laboratories of Purdue University. A fully-condensing load stand was designed to allow the 70 ton chiller system to be operated at the three standard loading capacities of the compressor. The load stand was operator controlled and...

This paper describes the computer aided engineering (CAE) approach to in,estigate the vibration of rolling piston type rotary compressors in the design and analysis stages. At first, the optimum design procedure for the compressor and piping system is presented. Then ,a compressor data base used for a dynamic simulation of the royary compressors are carried out. Finally, a practical application...

This study, which developed a laboratory prototype of a hermetic C02 compressor, was motivated by three primary factors. First, the C02 cycle is important because of global concern about ozone depletion and global wanning. Second, the leak tightness, efficiency, size and weight of hermetic motor-driven compressors make them preferable to open-type compressors for conventional residentiallcommer...

In recent years the household compressor manufacturers have reduced the energy losses inside the compressors resulting in a positive effect on the energy consumption in the cabinets. In the following, N-butane, which is a natural and non ozone depletion refrigerant, is compared to refrigerants presently used in household compressors.

There are different technologies to adapt the compressor’s cooling capacity to the changing requirements of the A/C and refrigerant systems when operating with screw compressors. • Distribution of the requirements to several compressors (parallel operation) • Evaporation pressure control with hot gas bypass • Internal bypass in the compressor • Reduction of the compressor displacement by a cont...

Although wet (oil injected) and dry (oil free) screw compressors are widely used in many applications, limited information is available regarding the pulsation, vibration, and noise problems associated with these types of compressors. This tutorial discusses such problems and includes case histories where field testing was performed, and provides design recommendations. Both wet and dry screw c...

and other process equipment in a secure web-based environment and allows users to; • Run your process more efficiently. • Improve your operating margins. • Avoid unnecessary shutdowns. • Improve your maintenance management decisions. GAS TURBINE PERFORMANCE is subject to degradation over time. When gas turbine engines are run, they become fouled with airborne contaminants such as oil, pollen, s...

An unsteady two-dimensional finite-volume solver was developed based on Van Leer’s flux splitting algorithm in conjunction with “Monotonic Upstream Scheme for Conservation Laws (MUSCL)” limiters to improve the order of accuracy and the two-layer Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model was also implemented. Two test cases were prepared to validate the solver. The computed results were compared with the e...

This paper presents a new design method of balance weights with phase angles for scroll compressors. Based on force and moment balances on crankshaft and compressor frame, mathematical formulation of shaft bearing loads, unbalanced force and moment acting on the frame has been made in terms of balance weight design parameters such as masses and phase angles of the upper and lower balance weight...

Increasing requirements for data transfer and storage is one of the crucial questions now. There are several ways high-speed transmission, but they meet limited applied to their narrowly focused specific target. The compression approach gives solution problems low-volume storage. This paper devoted GIF images, using a modified LZW algorithm with tree-based dictionary. It has led decrease in loo...
