A study of reciprocating compressor finger valve dynamics

The main objective of this research effort was the construction of a finger valve dynamics model using simplified theory based on steady flow conditions. The analytical valve positions were then compared to experimental measurements from an Ingersoll Rand model 242 two-stage air compressor. Proximit...
