Description

NiYo Engineers’ Two Cylinder Two Stage Reciprocating Air Compressor Training Kit is an invaluable aid in the effective understanding of the performance characteristics of a reciprocating compressor.  The compressor is driven by an AC or a DC electric motor. It has a facility to vary the speed of the motor. In order to plot performance characteristics and to calculate efficiency of the compressor, instrumentation to measure power input, pressures, temperatures, mass air flow and compressor speed are provided.

Pressure versus Volume (P-V) Plot can be obtained for reciprocating compressor for further study.

Topics covered are,

  1. Plotting of intake volume flow rate versus delivery flow rate for varying speeds for a reciprocating air compressor
  2. Study of air delivery characteristics with varying compressor speed for a reciprocating air compressor
  3. Study of air delivery characteristics with varying pressures for a reciprocating air compressor
  4. Calculate Volumetric efficiency of a reciprocating compressor
  5. Calculate Isothermal efficiency of a reciprocating compressor
  6. To study the effect of an intercooler in a two stage reciprocating compressor
  7. Plot P-V diagram of a reciprocating compressor
