Experimental studies of hermetic reciprocating compressors with special emphasis on the pV diagram.

Author(s) : RIGOLA J., PÉREZ-SEGARRA C. D., RAUSH G., et al.

Summary

The main objective of the work is to present an experimental study of a pV diagram, with special emphasis on absolute compression chamber pressure evaluation. Thus, the area enclosed by the pV diagram is the compression work per cycle, and its detachment shows compression, discharge, expansion and suction work detachment. Therefore, comparison of the real and ideal pV diagrams indicates isentropic efficiency, isentropic detachment and energy losses through valve processes. This information is a useful tool for prototype design and compressor performance optimization.
