Air Compressor

Crank-angle cycle analysis of a reed-valve reciprocating air compressor: free air delivery, shaft power and the loss once it is hot.

Highlights

A question it answers

What free air delivery and shaft power does this bore, stroke and clearance give at 2000 rpm, and how much capacity do I lose once it is hot?

What you put in

Bore, stroke, clearance ratio, speed, suction and discharge pressure and temperature, reed valve geometry (thickness, free length, port diameter, effective flow area ratio and stop), and cooling parameters. Four presets are provided including an atmospheric-feed and a charge-air-feed variant.

What you get

Pressure–volume diagram, valve lift traces over the cycle, volumetric efficiency decomposed into its three measured factors, free air delivery, shaft power, isothermal efficiency, specific power, discharge FLANGE temperature and in-cylinder temperature reported as separate numbers, the solved wall temperature, the warm-up penalty with its time constant, an annual fuel figure, and a convergence verdict.
