The Axial compressor is an integrated part of a gas turbine. The central part of compressors is its blades. Blade aerodynamic has a significant effect on compressor performance. Because of the adverse pressure gradient in the compressor, any deviation in the blade profile has a significant influence on the flow field as well as the compressor performance. During the manufacturing and operation ...

The gas flow estimation is crucial for the proper operation and monitoring of turbocharged (TC) engines with a torque structured engine control unit (ECU). This paper presents mean value models developed for modeling gas flow over the compressor, the turbine and the wastegate (WG) in a TC gasoline engine not equipped with a hot film air-mass flow meter (HFM). The turbine flow ...

The co-rotating mechanism is utilized for scroll vacuum pump application by one of the authors. It was found that the corotating scroll compressor is transformed to a centrifugal compressor by reducing the eccentricity between the two scrolls to zero. The authors propose a co-rotating scroll compressor which works not only as a positive displacement compressor, but also as a centrifugal one in ...

This work presents an extension of a design procedure for dynamic output feedback design for systems with nonlinearities satisfying quadratic constraints. In this work we used an axial gas compressor model described by the 3-state Moore-Greitzer compressor model (MG) that has some challenges for output feedback control design (Planovsky and Nikolaev 1990), (Rubanova 2013). The more general cons...

In the TESLA Test Facility (TTF), short bunches with low emittance are needed for the operation of a free electron laser. Several stages of bunch compression by means of magnetic chicanes will be used to reach the required peak current. The second stage of the bunch compression system, bunch compressor II, has been taken into operation recently. We describe design and instrumentation of the bun...

In this study, a frequency converter was used to carry out variable frequency control to the compressor with constant frequency of a small 3RT central air-conditioning air-cooled chiller, but the indoor blower and cooled water pump were still kept by constant frequency operation. It is to explore the energy-saving effect of chiller compressor and the cooling fan after being carried out the vari...

The application of carbon dioxide as natural refrigerant in commercial refrigeration systems has attracted higher interest in recent years for its promising energy efficiency and ecological sustainability. This paper presented the development of a low side scroll compressor for the bottle cooler application in the trans-critical cycle. Experimental tests were performed in two different temperat...

This paper deals with open-shaft twin-screw refrigeration compressors in the 10 175 m3/h (10 100 CFM) range. Applications for such compressors are, for example,external combustion engine heat-pumps and transport refrigeration. The twin-screw compressor concept is discussed from following view-points; operational mode and rotor housing design drive arrangement bearings lubricants cooling volume ...

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...
