Analysis of the influence of the elastomeric valve element deformation on the integral characteristics of a slow-speed reciprocating compressor stage

Earlier experimental and theoretical studies of slow-speed compressor stages have shown that the design of the valves has a decisive influence on the efficiency of their operating process. In this paper, we consider the design of self-acting valves with elastomeric elements, the deformation of which...

Description
Summary:Earlier experimental and theoretical studies of slow-speed compressor stages have shown that the design of the valves has a decisive influence on the efficiency of their operating process. In this paper, we consider the design of self-acting valves with elastomeric elements, the deformation of which changes the perimeter of the valve gap in the closed state. As a result of mathematical modeling and comparative parametric analysis, it was determined that the perimeter of the gap in the closed valve can significantly decrease, which leads to the decrease in the amount of leakage through the closed valve and an increase in such integral characteristics as the volumetric efficiency and the indicator efficiency.
