Summary

This work presents the novel peristaltic compressor, which has the potential to improve compressor efficiency by eliminating losses due to valves and over/under compression. This work builds on previous work by presenting a modified mechanistic chamber model of a prototype compressor along with operational updates to the reconfigurable prototype, and validation of the model through experimental data with air as the working fluid. A mathematical model is presented to add diaphragm flexibility to the geometry of the compression chamber that is coupled with the mass and energy conservation equations in the mechanistic chamber model. The reconfigurable prototype is operated with volume ratios ranging from 1.5 to 9 at pressure ratios ranging from 1 to 2.5. Each test is repeated 6 times and experimental uncertainty of each test is within 4%. The mechanistic chamber model of a peristaltic compressor predicts the experimental mass flow rate and volumetric efficiency within 10% MAPE.
