An experimental rig has been built to test a horizontal scroll compressor and a reciprocating compressor of similar size and capacity. The compressors were tested with refrigerant.R404A operating at varying evaporator and condenser temperatures. The paper provides much needed information regarding the efficiency of the compressors operating under the same conditions with the same system paramet...

During hot seasons the inlet temperature of Nitrogen increases, as a result compressor consumes more power for compressing a specific mass ratio of fluid and consequently total energy consumption of the compressor increases as well. In this research, a three stage centrifugal compressor with intercooler was modeled thermodynamically in order to decreases the energy consumption of the compressor...

Previous work on stabilization of compressor surge is extended to include control of the angular velocity of the compressor. First a low-order centrifugal compressor model is presented where the states are mass flow, pressure rise, and rotational speed of the spool. Energy transfer considerations are used to develop a compressor characteristic. In order to stabilize equilibria to the left of th...

Hermetic reciprocating compressor with elliptical shell radiates noise whose frequency spectrum has a peak level at about 200 Hz and about 300 Hz. The 200 Hz and 300 Hz noise is mainly radiated from the top and the side of the compressor shell, respectively. For clarifying the noise radiation mechanism, experimental and theoretical analyses were performed. A noise source simulation test was set...

In present work, a compressor configuration is taken from literature which will be studied for aspect ratio (ratio between length of blade to chord length) influence over performance. Performance in the sense is pressure ratio of compressor. The aspect ratio of the blade is an important parameter and has a strong influence on the performance of axial flow compressor. There are so many literatur...

A method to determine the economic cost of gas turbine compressor fouling was developed. The method is based on the calculation of the influence of the drop of compressor performances (isentropic efficiency, pressure ratio and air mass flow) on Heat Rate and full load power of the gas turbine. A statistical procedure to quantify the drop of compressor performances with fouling and to obtain amb...

This paper gives two lossless speech compression schemes Hamming correction codes compressor (HCCC) and Systematic Linear Block Code Compressor (SLBC) based on error correcting Hamming code and systematic linear block codes respectively. Hamming codes are a family of linear errorcorrecting codes that can detect up to two-bit errors or correct one-bit errors. Systematic linear block code is any ...

Dynamic flow losses in the suction chamber are a significant factor in reducing screw compressor efficiency but can only be roughly estimated in compressor design due to the simplified methods of analysis used to account for them. Today, Computational Fluid Mechanics analysis may be used to estimate velocity, pressure, temperature and concentration fields within a screw compressor far more accu...

This paper covers the development of stage-by-stage and parallel flow path compressor modeling approaches for a Variable Cycle Engine. The stage-by-stage compressor modeling approach is an extension of a technique for lumped volume dynamics and performance characteristic modeling. It was developed to improve the accuracy of axial compressor dynamics over lumped volume dynamics modeling. The sta...

This study, which developed a laboratory prototype of a hermetic C02 compressor, was motivated by three primary factors. First, the C02 cycle is important because of global concern about ozone depletion and global wanning. Second, the leak tightness, efficiency, size and weight of hermetic motor-driven compressors make them preferable to open-type compressors for conventional residentiallcommer...
