Abstract:This study examines discharge line energy losses using advanced fluid-structure interaction methods to show how valve design parameters—length, thickness, and height—improve compressor performance. An innovative 3D fluid-structure Interaction model represents a self-acting hermetic reciprocating compressor's discharge valve as a beam element. The RNG k− ε model examines how reed valve thickness, length, compressor speed, and lift limiter height impact pressure pulsation and compressor efficiency. Under ASHRAE … Show more
