HEAT TRANSFER AND FLUID FLOW CONSIDERATIONS IN AUTOMATIC VALVES OF RECIPROCATING COMPRESSORS.

Author(s) : PRATA A. T., FERREIRA R. T. S.

Summary

SEVERAL ASPECTS RELATED TO FLUID FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER IN REED TYPE VALVES OF RECIPROCATING COMPRESSORS ARE EXPLORED. BOTH NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS FOR PRESSURE DISTRIBUTIONS ALONG THE VALVE IN LAMINAR AND TURBULENT FLOWS AND RESULTS FOR HEAT TRANSFER FROM THE VALVE WALLS ARE PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED. THE PRESENCE OF HYDRODYNAMIC INSTABILITIES RELATED TO SELF-SUSTAINED FLOW OSCILLATIONS IS CONFIRMED EXPERIMENTALLY, AND A CRITERION IS ESTABLISHED TO PREDICT THOSE INSTABILITIES.
