Relationship between the valve opening degree of a reciprocating compressor and the load
Thread Content
Are the air valves open or closed in a reciprocating compressor when it is operating at full load? What principle? Thank you
Whether the system is under full load or not, its intake valve and exhaust valve will still operate in a normal manner, taking in air and releasing it respectively; this is independent of whether the system is under full load or not. It’s like carrying a bottle to work – you still carry it whether it’s filled with water or not; it’s just that when the bottle is under full load and filled with water, it’s more difficult to carry
The compression process in the compressor is pulsatory; the air valve operates for suction and discharge
