A CAUTIONARY NOTE ON RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR VALVE DESIGN.

Author(s) : TRAMSCHEK A. B., BOYLE R. J.

Summary

THE AUTHORS HIGHLIGHT EXPERIENCES DURING A PROJECT INVOLVING THE REDESIGN OF THE VALVE SYSTEM OF A MULTICYLINDER RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR. STARLING WITH A STATEMENT OF THE INITIAL DESIGN BRIEF, THEY TRACE THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT FROM THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN STAGE THROUGH PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES TO THE SELECTION OF A PROTOTYPE DESIGN. DETAILS OF THE PROTOTYPE STUDIES AND EXPERIENCES WITH THE PROTOTYPE UNDER LABORATORY CONDITIONS ARE CITED. THEY CONCLUDE WITH A COMPARISON OF THE PERFORMANCE OF A COMPRESSOR FITTED WITH THE REPLACEMENT VALVE SYSTEM AGAINST THAT OF THE PERFORMANCE PREDICTED INTHE DESIGN CALCULATIONS.
