Abstract

The collection and transportation of low-pressure gas released into the atmosphere from the oil fields is important in increasing gas production. This issue, which differs in its actuality, has both economic and pollution preveniton benefits. One such project, led by the UN Development Fund, was successfully implemented in the city of Siyazan, Azerbaijan. An electrically driven compressor unit of NQK-7/1-5 type with two oscillating cylinders is commonly used for such work. On visual inspection of the compressors undergoing repair, it was found that the seals in the pneumatic part and the elements of the cylinder-piston group are completely out of order, the gear teeth in the transmission part are broken, worn, the bearings are destroyed, the belts are torn, etc. Compressors sent for repair are almost always reassembled. A structural-kinematic analysis of the compressor installation was carried out to find out the causes of the existing malfunctions. For this purpose, a kinematic diagram of the conversion mechanism of the compressor – a slider-crank linkage mechanism was drawn up using the method of closed contours from projection equations relative to the X and Y axes, and based on the condition that the rotation angles of the piston and cylinder axes are equal, the instantaneous rotation angle, angular velocity and angular acceleration of the cylinder rotation, as well as instantaneous values of displacement, speed and acceleration of the piston inside the cylinder were found. It was shown that the designer's decision on the selection of the design scheme and determination of the product dimensions, which are one of the main issues in the design of the mechanism, should be made based on the results of the kinematic and dynamic analysis.
