Numerical Simulation of a Reciprocating Compressor

A computer simulation model of a hermetic reciprocating type of refrigeration compressor has been developed. The compressor simulation model constitutes 6 control volumes, to each of which conservation laws of mass and energy are applied to yield full description of the refrigerant state along its passage. Instead of ideal gas assumption. real gas equation is employed. Some of valve-related input data required for the simulation are acquired from test bench experiments. The refrigerant states such as pressure and temperature, etc., mass flow rates, and valve motions can be predicted by the simulation. The calculated P-V diagram shows a good agreement with experimental result.
