Performance analysis and design of self-air-cooling reciprocating compressor’s cooling system
Source abstract
Abstract
The cooling system, as an important part of high-pressure compressor, has always been a key technical bottleneck for its miniaturization. A new type self-air-cooling system is first proposed for the reciprocating compressor through ingenious structural design without any auxiliary equipment. The transient model of cooling system is established, which regards the cooling passage as a chamber with compressibility and heat exchange considering the linear and local flow resistance. The design principle is achieved by studying the working process and key parameters characteristics, which provides the theoretical foundation for the structural design. The experimental results show that the self-air-cooling system can quickly lower the temperature of the cylinder compared with natural cooling, which has considerable theoretical significance and practical value for the miniature high pressure compressor.
