surge is one of the two destructive factors in compressors. surge is the stream instability phenomenon in compressor that imposes severe damages to the compressors. nowadays, suppressingsurge phenomenon is one of the most important issues in oil and gas industries, especially when flow reduction or gas reflux is considered. according to moore-greitzer compressor model, this paper designs an act...

The primary goal of the work described in this paper was to evaluate and extend a virtual refrigerant charge sensor (VRC) for determining refrigerant charge for equipment having variable-speed compressors and fans. To evaluate the accuracy of the VRC, data were first collected from previous laboratory tests for different systems and over a wide range of operating conditions. In addition, new la...

This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation into the characteristics and effects of a PWM inverter on the power supply and overall performance of a capacity controlled refrigeration system employing a positive displacement compressor. The results indicate that the efficiency of variable speed refrigeration systems at part load is severely affected by the poor performance of ...

The derivation of a compressor characteristic, and the experimental validation of a dynamic model for a variable speed centrifugal compressor using this characteristic, are presented. The dynamic compressor model of Fink et al. is used, and a variable speed compressor characteristic is derived by the use of energy transfer and loss analysis. It is demonstrated that taking into account the losse...

Received Apr 24, 2016 Revised Aug 3, 2016 Accepted Aug 18, 2016 In this paper, a 8x8 multiplier is realized by using 4-2 and 5-2 compressors. Low-power high speed 4-2 compressors and 5-2 compressors are extensively utilized for numerical realizations. Both the compressors circuits that is the 4-2 compressor circuit and 5-2 compressor circuit internally consist of the logic gates i.e. the XOR an...

A computational and experimental study was carried out to determine whether blade tip suction can increase compressor efficiency. Compressor flow fields contain concentrated regions of high entropy fluid near the blade surfaces. Blade suction can remove this fluid, lowering the entropy of the compressor throughflow, thereby avoiding a thermodynamic inefficiency, ultimately raising the compresso...

This paper presents the construcrion, newly developed design technologies and performance characteristics of a compact horizontal scroll-type compressor for room air conditione~:s. The authors were able lo develop a compacl variable speed horizontal scroll-type compressor with a cooling capacity of I. 8 kW, which necessitated the development of new mechanisms, namely, an alCial compliance mecha...
