Flow distribution at the compressor inlet flange is critical to both machine performance and accurately measuring the inlet conditions. A flow distribution that is radially uniform is preferred to ...

The hottest temperature point in a refrigeration or air conditioning system is on the back of the compressor’s discharge valve, as shown in Figure 1. However, since this point cannot be measured by a ...

Lower-temperature refrigeration applications often experience frost on their suction lines, compressor end bell, and/or part of the compressor head. When the air’s dew point temperature is reached ...

During the 1990’s, some power plants experimented with fog-based power augmentation by overspraying fog into the compressor – known as wet compression. The results were impressive. They reported a ...

At the heart of a commercial vehicle’s air brake system is its air compressor, which pressurizes air in the primary and secondary tanks to provide power for the air brakes and other pneumatic systems.
