Study of the valve element motion and the gas flow in the straight-flow valves.

Summary

The paper describes the simulation method of gas flow and valve dynamics in the straight-flow valve of reciprocating compressor. This model determines the gas pressure distribution and deformations of valve plate as an elastic plate without using any empiric information. Simulation was tested by static gas flow measurements in valve and dynamic measurements of the valve plate end motion in experimental compressor. Comparisons are made between the computered and measured results.
