RATING AND DIAGNOSTIC PARAMETERS FOR HIGHSPEED, RECIPROCATING-PISTON AIR COMPRESSORS.

Author(s) : LISKA A., NOVAK P., WURM J.

Summary

THE PAPER DOCUMENTS THE POTENTIAL OF USING RATING PARAMETERS OF RECIPROCATING AIR COMPRESSORS AS EFFECTIVE SERVICE DIAG-NOSTIC TOOLS. 120 COMPRESSORS WERE TESTED AND THE PRESSURE RATIO AND CAPACITY CORRELATIONS DEFINED FOR VOLUMETRIC EFFICIENCY, SPECIFIC EFFECTIVE POWER INPUTS, AND OVERALL ISOTHERMAL AND ISENTROPIC EFFICIENCY FOR GROUPS OF DESIGNS. THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN USED TO DEVELOP A BANK OF DESIGN DATA BY ANALYZING THE DESIGNS OF OVER 1,400 COMPRESSORS WORLDWIDE. DIAG-NOSTIC ELEMENTS WERE DEFINED BASED ON THE RATING PARAMETERS AND USED FOR DEVELOPING OPERATING STANDARDS. THE APPLICATION OF THIS WORK TO THE DIAGNOSIS OF VALVE LEAKAGE IS DISCUSSED IN THE PAPER.
