LIQUID SLUGGING MEASUREMENTS IN RECIPROCATING COMPRESSORS.

Author(s) : SIMPSON F.

Summary

SEVERAL DIFFERENT METHODS OF MEASURING CYLINDER PRESSURES GENERATED DURING LIQUID SLUGGING IN HERMETIC ANDSEMI-HERMETIC COMPRESSORS HAVE BEEN DEVISED. THE METHODS ARE DISCUSSED AND COMPARED, AND TEST RESULTS ARE PRESENTED. SOME INTERESTING ASPECTS OF LIQUID SLUGGING ARE ALSO DISCUSSED. AN EMPIRICAL RELATION FOR PREDICTING MAXIMUM CYLINDER PRESSURE AS A FUNCTION OF COMPRESSOR POWER, BORE SIZE, AND STROKE LENGTH IS PRESENTED.
