The impact analysis of jacket-space geometric parameters on the characteristics of a reciprocating processor with cooling system using gas pressure fluctuations in the suction line

The article analyzes the impact of the jacket-space diameter and length on characteristics of a reciprocating compressor with liquid cooling system using liquid circulation gas pressure fluctuations in the suction line. The following operating characteristics of the machine were constructed and analyzed: the average height of the liquid column in the jacket space; instantaneous velocity and height of the liquid column in the jacket space; the relative height of the liquid column in the jacket space; volumetric efficiency; indicator isothermal efficiency; flowrate in the pump section; relative pressure losses during suction; relative flowrate. The dependence of the instantaneous pressure in the work space and the suction space of the compressor section on the rotation angle of the crankshaft is determined for different values of the external diameter of the jacket space.
