The Number And Arrangement Of Cylinders
Quantity of cylinders used in reciprocating compressors ranging from one to 16. In mIticylinder compressors in cylinders can be arranged in a line, radial or at an angle to each other, forming a V-or W-template. Many two or tliree cylinder compressors have their cylinders arranged in-line configuration where their holes share one centerline as the crankshaft. In-line cylinder agreements have the advantage of requiring a single valve plate, reducing the cost and complexity of the compressor. In designs of four or more cylinders, V, W, or radial arrangement is usually occupied.
V agreement, as a rule, are used for compressors, having an even number of cylinders, W and radial structure used in compressors, having an odd number of cylinders. These frameworks allow cylinder staggered in the plane perpendicular to the crankshaft, reducing the overall compressor length compared with line Compressor cylinders are usually manufactured using grained cast iron, which can be easily processed and not subject to deformation at high temperatures.
Small compressors, and cylinders, Carter often cast in one piece of cast iron or aluminium, allowing very closely linking to die working parts. And cylinder crankcase large compressors, usually cast separately with flanges, so they can be assembled together. As a rule, cylinders die large compressors are equipped with removable cast iron liners called sleeve.
Small compressors, often have fins integrally cast with the cylinders and cylinder heads increase the cooling of the cylinder. The surrounding air is blown through these surface of the condenser or other cooling fan to remove some of the heat that otherwise is absorbed by the refrigerant. Cylinder castings for large compressors often contain water jackets for this purpose...
