Abstract
The deformation of the reciprocating compressor seriously affects the efficiency and reliability of the shale gas extraction unit. In order to study the deformation characteristics and influencing factors, this paper established a coupled system model of reciprocating compressor cylinder block-piston assembly, proposed a transient calculation method applicable to the 3D compressor cylinder model, and studied and analyzed the heat transfer characteristics, deformation characteristics, and main factors influencing the deformation of each component in one cycle. The results show that the temperature of the compressor cylinder shows a “W”-type trend, with low temperature fluctuation; the stress and deformation of the cylinder block are almost unchanged, and the stress of the piston fluctuates greatly, with a maximum fluctuation of 14.37 MPa; the temperature and deformation of the compressor cylinder block-piston assembly show the distribution characteristics of ‘high out and low in’; the maximum deformation of the cylinder block at the extreme moment is 0.298 mm; the piston ring expands and deforms on the exhaust side, and shrinks on the intake side, the maximum deformation is 0.089 mm at the extreme moment; thermal load has a greater influence on the deformation of the working chamber and piston ring.
