Theoretical and experimental study of pressure prediction between piston ring for reciprocating air compressor

الملخص EN

An reciprocating air compressor type (V-AK 150) of three compression rings is employed in this work to accomplish the experimental work.

The indicator diagram is recorded at different compressor speeds.

The present work elucidates the measurement and indication of gas pressure within compression space as a function of crank angle.

The study contains the prediction of pressure in inter-ring volume pressure behind piston ring during compressor operation.

For verification of a mathematical model a static test rig apparatus is designed in order to measure the inter-ring volume pressure within the range of compression pressure (1-50 bar).

The comparison between mathematical and experimental results show good agreement.
