THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF A RELIEF PLATE TO REDUCE CYLINDER PRESSURES IN A RECIPROCATING REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR UNDER LIQUID SLUGGING CONDITIONS.

Author(s) : SCHRANK D. A., VACCARO J. P., LEWIS R. G.

Summary

WHEN HANDLING LARGE VOLUMES OF LIQUID REFRIGERANT/OIL, CYLINDER PRESSURES CAN APPROACH 20 MEGAPASCALS. OBVIOUSLY, COMPONENTS CAN BE DESIGNED TO HANDLE THESE HIGH PRESSURES, ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT COST EFFECTIVE. BY REDUCING CYLINDER PRESSURES, EXCESSIVE STRESS LEVELS AND HIGH COSTS CAN BE AVOIDED, AND ENHANCED RELIABILITY CAN BE ACHIEVED. THE PAPER REVIEWS A RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR DESIGN THAT HAS INCORPORATED A RELIEF PLATE WITH ADEQUATE FLEXIBILITY TO DEFLECT UNDER LIQUID SLUGGING CONDITIONS, WHILE MAINTAINING EXCELLENT SEALING DURING NORMAL OPERATION.
