HOW LEAKAGE IN VALVES CAN INFLUENCE THE VOLUMETRIC AND ISENTROPIC EFFICIENCIES OF RECIPROCATING COMPRESSORS.

Author(s) : MACHU E.

Summary

THE PAPER DISCUSSES THE IMPORTANCE OF TIGHTNESS OF SEALING ELEMENTS. IT WILL SHOW THAT IN SOME INSTANCES THE TIGHTNESS OF VALVES IN CLOSED POSITION HAS A GREATER EFFECT ON EFFICIENCY (VOLUMETRIC AND ISENTROPIC) THAN GOOD FLOW AREAS WHEN THE VALVE IS OPEN.
