As refrigeration compressor manufacturers introduce machines with improved efficiencies there is a need for updating performance data. The compressor performance data which is published should be a true representation of the actual compressor performance, historically this has resulted in lengthy test programmes for the compressor manufacturer. A system is required which can accurately produce ...

Address trace compression represents that the address data, which were generated from instruction fetch stage of microprocessor, can be retrieved for later observation and analysis. In h s paper, we present how to design and implement this real-time address trace compressor (RTATC), whch can be used to collect the address trace information of FPGA Prototyping system based on embedded microproce...

The adjustment and control mode of frequency conversion for an air-conditioner can make the refrigeration capacity adapt the variety of its load very well. Thus, it has many advantages such as low variety in in-door temperature, short time to reach the wished temperature, low energy consumption, low start electric current and low strike to electric source etc. This mode is widely used in room a...

In this study, operation of compressor station has been investigated by exergy approach. Exergy analysis is a thermodynamic method which shows the irreversibility of a system quantitatively. Gas compressors are used to compensate the pressure drop along the gas pipeline significantly. The compression process causes temperature rise of gas; in this regard gas cooler is applied to reduce the temp...

This paper presents some of the results from a Master’s thesis research into the performance and operation of a centrifugal compressor at off-design operating conditions using advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. ANSYS CFX is the CFD solver used in this blind study to evaluate the ability of modern CFD software to predict the performance of centrifugal compressors operating a...

The aim of this paper is to present a methodology for optimizing the operation of compressors in parallel in process industries. Compressors in parallel can be found in many applications for example in compressor stations conveying gas through long pipelines and in chemical plants in which compressors supply raw or processed materials to downstream processes. The current work presents an optimi...

This work describes the potential consequences associated with operating a centrifugal compressor in overload. Nomenclature is offered to explain what is meant by overload operation, and methods that are used by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users to define overload limits are presented. The paper also describes the conditions that can lead to overload operation. Computational...

High orders of end use efficiency and reliability have been achieved in a refrigeration compressor which employs an electromagnetic linear motor. Techniques of computer-aided design were used to explore the operational characteristics of the moving-iron compressor and to simulate its operation. Application tests on prototype units developed through extensive feasibility and manufacturing studie...

The precise prediction of compressor operation within gas turbine performance simulation is key to an accurate performance simulation model. This paper describes the modeling of multistage axial-flow compressors in gas turbine performance simulations. An alternative modeling technique to the conventional characteristic based approach is presented. The purpose is an improved prediction of the co...
