A new type of expander-compressor system called Cross Vane expander-compressor (CVEC) was introduced. This device replaces the expansion valve and compressor in conventional refrigeration systems to reduce the energy consumption and improve the coefficient of performance (COP) of the system. As opposed to many expander-compressor systems in the literature, whereby a separated expander is couple...

Piping vibration which is mainly caused by the torsional vibration of rotary compressor can be a major noise source of air-conditioner. Especially, the tangential vibration of rotary compressor which is due to the torsional vibration is much higher than the radial vibration or the vertical vibration of compressor. A study as to how the tangential vibration of rotary compressor is related with t...

The present bunch compressor design for the NLC allows control of the final bunch length by way of changes to the horizontal betatron phase advance of the 180ƒ-turnaround arc. This adjustability requirement significantly constrains the design and cost optimization of the system and excludes the possibility of using permanent-magnet quadrupoles in the arc. To relieve this constraint, and to avoi...

This paper presents a simplified analysis method for the estimation of reciprocating hermetic compressor performance. Conventionally, the analysis method with indicator diagram is utilized for this purpose. This diagram is generally obtained by measuring pressure changes jn a cylinder, a suction chamber and a discharge chamber with pressure sensors. This new method has been developed, where onl...

A non-linear gas dynamic model is used in this paper to study the pressure pulsations in the intake of a variable speed compressor, since the perturbation pressure in this study is so large that the linear acoustic theory is no longer valid. Friction and heat transfer are considered in the model. Three numerical schemes are applied to solve the governing equations which are non-linear hyperboli...

The Axial compressor is an integrated part of a gas turbine. The central part of compressors is its blades. Blade aerodynamic has a significant effect on compressor performance. Because of the adverse pressure gradient in the compressor, any deviation in the blade profile has a significant influence on the flow field as well as the compressor performance. During the manufacturing and operation ...

in this paper it is attempted to investigate the behavior of an inviscid flow in the meridional plane of an axial flow compressor. for this purpose the 3-d unsteady euler equations in cylindrical coordinate are averaged in tangential direction. therefore, the equations are reduced to a 2-d system. by averaging the tangential component of momentum equation, a blade force will result. axial and r...

the noise profile. In order to locate the various sources of noise of the hermetic rolling position type compressor for room air conditioners, we experimentally analyzed the compressor noise and found that a main cause of the·noise was the acoustically amplified pressure pulsation in various parts of the compressor. Moreover, with reference to results of this noise source analysis, several proc...

The energy efficiency of separate sensible and latent cooling (SSLC) airconditioning system is higher than traditional one, since SSLC system uses separate cycles which can raise the evaporating temperature of sensible cycle. Separate cycles often include two separate compressors, which makes the initial investment of SSLC cycle too expensive to use in room air conditioning. A novel structure r...

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...
