Valve throttling, its influence on compressor efficiency and gas temperatures. 1. Full load operation.

Author(s) : MACHU E. H.

Summary

The paper derives simple formulae for temperature rises in the compressed gas due to leakage and work losses in valves, to estimate volumetric and isentropic efficiencies of reciprocating compressors at full load, by proposing simple analytical approaches to every single one of the factors of influence considered.
