Reciprocating compressor performance simulation.

Author(s) : XIN R., HATZIKAZAKIS P.

Summary

The overall compressor performance was simulated as in a standard calorimeter test system. The analysis focused on compressor instead of system. The simulation model includes heat transfer and flow resistance in compressor components, effect of re-expansion volume, leakage through piston and cylinder clearance, bearing power loss, piston friction loss, oil slosh loss, and valve dynamics. The capacity and efficiency of the compressor were calculated.
