DIRECTIONS OF PERFECTION OF PISTON COMPRESSORS FOR CARBON DIOXIDE AND OTHER GASES

Abstract

Piston compressors find wide application in various industries. Consumers of compressors constantly raise requirements to level of their characteristics among which the cores are power efficiency and reliability. It is especially difficult to provide high values of these characteristics, if compressors are created on a basis without lubrication packings. Results of works on creation of new generation of automatic valves for cylinder stages of low, medium and high-pressure compressor 4GM16-100/200M1 are stated. Development of valves made based on a mathematical model, which reliability was confirmed with experimental researches. The design of cooled compressor rod packing is considered. In the valves and packings used high-strength polymer, materials are applied. Introduction of effective valves and without lubrication packings will allow creating compressors with high efficiency and simultaneous decrease on 5-10 % of power consumption.
