Abstract
Hyper-compressors play an important role in polymer production. However, due to the extremely high pressure and complex geometries, it is difficult to monitor and calculate the thermodynamic characteristics and pressure pulsation. In this research, a three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of a hyper-compressor with a central valve and piston movements based on a real gas model (RGM) was developed to analyze the thermodynamic performance and pressure pulsation. Then, the p−θ diagram of the working chamber and the dynamic pressure internal pipe were constructed using a nondestructive testing approach and showed a strong correlation with the pressure sensor data. The 3D-CFD model’s results correlated well with the experimental data. The deviation error between simulation values and experimental data of the indicated power was 1.77%. Lastly, the numerical model was used to analyze the hyper-compressor’s performance, power loss, dynamic features of the central valve and pressure pulsation.
