Chapter 12 - Reciprocating Gas Compressor Re a dpa ge3 8 1–3 8 3 , 3 8 5–3 8 7 , 3 9 2–3 9 4 Make sure that you understand how a typical reciprocating compressor works. Explain the terms: i n d i c a t e dp o we r / wo r k , s h a f t p o we r / wo r k , i s o t h e r ma l wo r k , i n p u t p o we r ,

Free air delivery (FAD) – inlet condition used to design the compressor; (TFAD = Tinlet design ; PFAD = Pinlet design) If TFAD = T1 ; PFAD = P1 then If TFAD ≠ T1 ; PFAD ≠ P1 then

Example 148kg/min Nitrogen comes into this system at 20 0C and 100kPa and is delivered at 500kPa. The compressor used is a single stage, double acting reciprocating compressor, working at a speed of 500rpm. The clearance volume is 5% of the swept volume and the compressor has a stroke to bore ratio of 1.2 / 1. The compression and re-expansion index is n = 1.5. (Nitrogen = 1.389, RNitrogen = 0.297kJ/kg.K and CP Nitrogen = 1.040kJ/kg.K.)
Calculate the following: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e)
