PREDICTION OF SLUGGING-INDUCED CYLINDER OVERPRESSURES.

Author(s) : SINGH R., PRATER G. Jr, NIETER J. J.

Summary

IN TYPICAL REFRIGERANT COMPRESSORS, PEAK CYLINDER PRESSURES UNDER LIQUID SLUGGING CONDITIONS ARE AS HIGH AS 10 TIMES THE PEAK PRESSURES DURING THE NORMAL OPERATION. IN THE PAPER THE AUTHORS MODEL THIS PHENOMENON BY CONSIDERING THE COMPRESSION PROCESS WITH A SEPARATED GAS AND LIQUID MEDIA IN THE CYLIND TWO CASES OF THIS MODEL FOR VARIOUS LIQUID FRACTIONS ARE SIMULATED. EVEN THOUGH TIME HISTORIES ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT, BOTH MODELS YIELD VERY HIGH PEAK PRESSURES, SIMILAR TO THOSE MEASURED, WHE HIOU VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE PROBLEM ARE DISCUSSED HERE.
