Mechanical efficiency and losses in a piston compressor for various working bodies

  • Published:
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

Equations are proposed for the mechanical efficiency and losses in a piston compressor operating with various working bodies. When such a compressor operates with ammonia and freons, the mechanical efficiency is higher than on working with air.
