HEAT TRANSFER AND COMPONENT TEMPERATURE PREDICTION IN RECIPROCATING COMPRESSORS.

Author(s) : KERIBAR R., MOREL T.

Summary

A NUMBER OF COMPRESSOR DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE ISSUES ARE INFLUENCED BY THE HEAT TRANSFER PROCESS. NEW METHODOLOGY HAS BEEN DEVELOPED, WHICH INCLUDES GAS-TO-WALL HEAT TRANSFER CALCULATIONS BASED ON IN-CYLINDER FLOW VELOCITIES AND THEY CAN BE USED TO PREDICT HEAT TRANSFER IN COMPRESSORS AS A FUNCTION OF SPEED, PRESSURE RATIO, FLUID PROPERTIES AND COMPRESSOR VALVE AND PISTON GEOMETRY. THESE ARE COUPLED WITH A FINITE ELEMENT BASED CALCULATION OF HEAT CONDUCTION IN THE STRUCTURE TO PROVIDE SIMULTANEOUS SOLUTION FOR COMPONENT TEMPERATURES, PROVIDING A COMPLETE PERFORMANCE AND THERMAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE COMPRESSOR.
