PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF A RECIPROCATING REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR OVER A RANGE OF SPEEDS.

Author(s) : MCGOVERN J. A.

Summary

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF A TWO CYLINDER OPEN RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR ARE PRESENTED OVER THE SPEED RANGE 300 TO 900 R.P.M. DATA IS INCLUDED ON THE CONCENTRATION OF LUBRICATING OIL IN THE DISCHARGE VAPOUR. THE ADIABATIC EFFICIENCY AND THE < RATIONAL EFFICIENCY > OF THE COMPRESSOR ARE PRESENTED. A NEWLY DEFINED PARAMETER, THE < RATIONAL EFFICIENCY FOR COMPRESSION AND HEAT REJECTION >, IS PROPOSED AS AN APPROPRIATE FIGURE OF MERIT. VALVE LIFT AND CYLINDER PRESSURE DIAGRAMS AND A NUMBER OF PARAMETERS DERIVED FROM THESE ARE PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED.
