The characteristics of two stage compressor which is constituted of two separated reciprocating compressors was tested measuring the volumetric efficiency of each compressor at suction of both bighandlowpressdresideusillgorificetypeflolrmeters. The volumetric efficiency of low pressure side compressor was lower than that of the high side when they were operating under the same compression ratio. And it tended to reduce obviously by lowering evaporating temperature resulting in a markable reduction of refrigerating capacity at the same time. It is assumed that the falling of volumetric efficiency at low side compressor was directed by the decrease in evaporating temperature which derives the falls of gas pressure at suction, increase in compression ratio, and gas flow resistance at suction and discharge valves.

In analysis of piping vibration of petrochemical plant, the forcing functions mainly depend upon the equipment working mechanism and vibration resources in the piping systems. In general, harmonic function is used for the system with rotary equipments. Mechanical driving frequencies, wave functions, and response spectrum are used for reciprocating compressors, surge vibration of long transfer piping, and seismic/wind vibration, respectively. In this study, for the spray injection case inside the pipe, forcing function was modeled, in which two different fluids are distributed uniformly. To confirm the results, the scheme used for the forcing function was applied for real piping system. The vibration mode of the real system was consistent with the 4th mode obtained by simulation using the forcing function formulated in this study.

This paper describes the design of a remote control device that can control the ON/OFF state of multiple air compressors using wireless communication. The main remote controller and air compressor remote controller were designed using a microprocessor (ATmega128), and the circuit diagram was configured to wirelessly communicate using A Zigbee module between the two remote controllers. The result of the measurement of wireless communication distance between the two remote controllers was more than 1.1 km.

The mean-line method using empirical models is the most practical method of predicting off-design performance. To gain insight into the empirical models, the influence of empirical models on the performance prediction results is investigated. We found that, in the two-zone model, the secondary flow mass fraction has a considerable effect at high mass flow-rates on the performance prediction curves. In the TEIS model, the first element changes the slope of the performance curves as well as the stable operating range. The second element makes the performance curves move up and down as it increases or decreases. It is also discovered that the slip factor affects pressure ratio, but it has little effect on efficiency. Finally, this study reveals that the skin friction coefficient has significant effect on both the pressure ratio curve and the efficiency curve. These results show the limitations of the present empirical models, and more resonable empirical models are reeded.

For the simulation of piping vibrations in petrochemical plants, forcing functions mainly depend upon the equipment working mechanism and vibration resources in the piping systems. In general, harmonic function is used to simulate rotary equipment. Mechanical driving frequencies, wave functions, and response spectrum are used to simulate reciprocating compressors, surge vibration of long transfer piping, and seismic/wind vibration, respectively. In this study, the general suggestions for forcing functions were reviewed and proposed the forcing function to simulate the spray injection system inside the pipe in which two different fluids are distributed uniformly. To confirm the results, the scheme was applied for a real piping system. The vibration mode of the real system was consistent with the 4th mode (26.725 Hz) obtained by simulation using the forcing function presented in this study.

In this study, comparison study has been performed between two-stage compression and a vapor-recompression refrigeration cycle and a liquefaction using LNG cold heat. When using a first method using two-stage compression and a refrigeration cycle, at least three compressors are required, however when using LNG cold heat, no compressor is required since carbon dioxide can be pumped after condensing with the heat exchange with -160℃ of LNG. Through this study, we can save more than one hundred million KRW annually by using LNG cold heat instead of using gas compression and refrigeration cycle.

The characteristics of the R-22 two-stage compression refrigeration systems were investigated. The apparatus consisted of 0.5HP and 1HP hermetic reciprocating compressors for the high and low stage sides respectively, a condenser, an evaporator, a heat exchanger, four expansion valves, and two intercoolers. The experiments covered a range of refrigerant flow rates from 24 to 84kg/h, and the inlet temperature of cooling water in the condenser and heat source water in the evaporator ranged from 20 to 30$^.\circ}C$The results Showed that the refrigerant flow rate had greater effect on the refrigerating capacities, the compression efficiency and the coefficient of performance of two-stage compression systems than the inlet temperature of heat source water. And all these values were decreased with increasing inlet temperatures of the cooling water. The pressure drops in the evaporator of two-stage compression systems were decreased in proportion to the increase in the inlet temperature of the heat source and cooling water, but it was increased by the refrigerant flow rate.

Recently, focus has been drawn on natural refrigerants due to increasing concern on global warming. As a consequence, CO2 systems such as a heat pump water heater using CO2 as a refrigerant are rapidly growing on the market. Currently, rolling piston rotary compressors are widely used for CO2 heating and/or refrigeration systems. There are several ways of realizing gas compression structure. They are single stage compression with single cylinder, single stage compression with two cylinders, and two stage compression with two cylinders. In this paper, computer simulation program which was validated for a single stage rotary compressor with one cylinder has been extended for a single stage, two cylinder rotary type. Numerical investigation has been made on optimal design for the cylinder configuration using the extended simulation program. For a single stage two cylinder rotary compressor having a displacement volume of 4 cc for each cylinder, compressor efficiency has been found to be maximum when the cylinder radius and height are 31mm and 10mm, respectively.

In this study, a two-stage phase-separate cycle was investigated analytically to improve the performance of the $CO_2$ system in the cooling mode. The simulation results were verified with the measured data. The predictions using the simulation model were consistent with the measured data within ${\pm}20%$ deviations. The performance of the modified $CO_2$ system with the two-stage phase-separated cycle was analyzed with the variations of outdoor temperature and EEV opening. The cooling COP decreased with the increase of compressor frequency. The highest COP was 2.7 at compressor frequencies of 30 Hz and 30 Hz for the first and second compressors, respectively. In addition, the cooling COP increased by 9.3% with an application of optimum control of the first and second-stage EEV openings.

A $CO_2$ system using the two-stage compression cycle was tested by varying $1^{st}-2^{nd}$ compressor frequencies in the cooling mode. To improve the cooling performance of the two-stage compression $CO_2$ cycle, the following cycle options were applied: a basic cycle, a cycle with an intercooler, a cycle with an IHX (internal heat exchanger), and a cycle with an intercooler and IHX. The cycle with the intercooler-IHX showed the highest cooling capacity improvement among the cycle options at all compressor frequencies. The cycle with the intercooler, the cycle with the IHX, and the cycle with the intercooler-IHX improved the cooling COP by 7, 12, and 15%, respectively, over the basic $CO_2$ cycle when the compressor frequencies for the first and second compressors were 50 Hz and 30 Hz, respectively. In addition, the applications of the selected cycle options enhanced system reliability.
