Review of compressor models and performance characterizing variables.

Author(s) : RASMUSSEN B. D., JAKOBSEN A.

Summary

A method for categorization of compressor models is presented. The method is used in connection with a review of the compressor models presented in proceedings of the International Compressor Engineering Conferences at Purdue during the last 8 years. Trends in the development, purpose and use of compressor models are identified and discussed. The traditional use of system-oriented variables like COP for describing the compressor performance has to some extent caused "confusion" when evaluating/comparing compressors. The different ways of describing the performance characteristics of a compressor are discussed and the general recommendations regarding the choice of performance characterizing variables are given.
