A simple valve model to study the performance of a small compressor.

Summary

The paper presents a simulation model of a typically used reed valve in a small refrigeration rolling piston compressor. The natural fundamental frequency was obtained using the Rayleigh's quotient. Predicted results are presented for various compressor delivery pressures. Effects of various valve damping coefficient, valve thickness and sensitivity of the valve behaviour with respect to the valve force area coefficient are also presented.
