Advantages And Disadvantages Of Reciprocating Compressors

ABSTRACT This article reviews the history of free piston internal combustion engines with its advantages over traditional engines and applications. In this research paper unique characteristics of free piston engine are reviewed and working of this engine is discussed with its successful application in air compressor and gas generator. Finally this article reviews the history, working, advantages and applications of free piston engine. INTRODUCTION A free engine is a thermal engine having linear

How do Turbine Gas Engines operate? I read this article at Wartsila website which enlightened me that Gas turbines are comprised of three primary sections mounted on the same shaft: the compressor, the combustor and the turbine. The compressor can be either axial flow or centrifugal flow. Axial flow compressors are more common in power generation because they have higher flow rates and efficiencies. The acceleration of the air through the rotating blades and diffusion by the stators increases the

Introduction 1.1 Abrasive jet machining principle: Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) is the removal of material from a work piece by the application of a high speed stream of abrasive particles carried in gas medium from a nozzle. The AJM

One disadvantage of HyPES is its low energy density, which is the reason why they are not commercially available, however under laboratory-scale examination [28-29]. Of the more attractive I-CAES proposals, one seeks to spray water droplets inside a reciprocating compressor to actively absorb the heat of compression [30]. However, such machinery has to be adjusted to endure water. Recent

Condition monitoring as a technique to monitor the performance and the conditions of machines is used extensively in factories. Although condition monitoring has established since 1960’s, it is still being develop in parallel with the advances in transducers and computer technology [1]. The benefit of condition monitoring is to minimize unplanned maintenance of machinery as well as improves the reliability and safety. In recent year, wired online condition monitoring (CM) systems have been applied

into work through the mechanism of the engine. This type of engine different from the steam engine, which process with an external combustion engine that fuel burned apart from the engine. The principal types of internal combustion engine are : reciprocating engine such as Otto-engine, and Diesel engines ; and rotary engines, such as the Wankel engine and the Gas-turbine engine. In general, the internal combustion engine has become the means of propulsion in the

prerequisite to get maximum benefit from the text. This book can also be used for self-study and/or as a reference book in the field of engines. Contents include the fundamentals of most types of internal combustion engines, with a major emphasis on reciprocating engines. Both spark ignition and compression ignition engines are covered, as are those operating on four-stroke and two-stroke cycles, and ranging in size from small model airplane engines to the largest stationary engines. Rocket engines and
