Suction valve design optimization to improve reliability.

Number: 1292

Author(s) : EKTAS S., AVCI H. A.

Summary

Suction and discharge valves in a reciprocating compressor are the parts which make the opening and closing movements repeatedly. This movement characteristics results in a fatigue impact mechanism between steel valve reed and valve plate. Thus, reliability of valves should be guaranteed and improved in order to get the desired life cycle time of the product. This study aims to improve suction valve leaf reliability by making some changes on valve assembly characteristic dimensions. Performance and life cycle tests on compressors are conducted to make a comparison between different designs of valves. Additionally, solo tests on valves are applied by using an experimental setup including Laser Doppler Vibrometer and a precise solenoid valve that simulates hermetic reciprocating compressor’s valve reed movement.
