Compressors
Compressors are used to take a certain quantity of fluid at a given pressure and delivered at a
different desired pressure

Work needs to be done on the working fluid so that the state can be changed (pressure)

Cylinder clearance volume is the volume of gas left in the cylinder at the discharge end of the stroke. It includes the
space between the piston and cylinder head, the volume of the valves, valve pockets and any added clearance.
Clearance volume is generally expressed as a percentage of the swept volume of a given cylinder end.

YUSUF ISA MAKAFI 2015

Class Example
A single stage reciprocating compressor takes 1m3 of air per minute at 1.013bar and 15°C and delivers it at
7bar. Assuming that the law of compression is pV1.35 = constant, and that the clearance is negligible,
calculate the indicated power.

If the compressor above is to be driven at 300rev/min and it is a single acting , single cylinder machine,
calculate the cylinder bore required assuming a stroke to bore ratio of 1.5/1. calculate the power of the
motor required to drive the compressor if the mechanical efficiency of the compressor is 85% and that of the
motor transmission is 90%

Clearance
In compressors, the working parts should not be competing for space hence there is need to
make some allowance to allow mechanical parts have some freedom. The space (volume) meant
for this purpose is known as clearance.
