A Positive Displacement Compressor P M V Subbarao Associate Professor Mechanical Engineering Department IIT Delhi Small Things will have Huge Vigor…………. Reciprocating Compressors The cylinder walls are cooled : Air cooled: Circumferential Fins. Water Jacket: Annular Jacket. Its close to Isothermal but not Isothermal Let us say polytropic. 1 n g Pressure Volume Diagram Indicated work done on the gas per cycle: area abcd area abef +area bcoe – area adof Work input Ideal Gas Equation Polytropic process: The actual power input to the compressor is larger than the indicated power, du
