Compressor issues
Thread Content
Some specifications require that the product of the piston diameter (in mm) and the compressor speed (in r/min) should not exceed 228,600. Why is that? Why shouldn’t the cylinder diameter divided by the piston stroke exceed 5.5? ? Please ask an expert for help! !
The piston diameter should not be too large, as it has a significant impact on the lifespan of the sealing rings; isn’t there a specific relationship that determines what size is appropriate?
Those who work in design should be quite familiar with this. Despite having so many years of experience with compressors, I really hadn’t paid attention to this issue; it’s something I’ve never heard of before. I think the first one is related to the stress on the crankshaft, and the second one is related to efficiency.
