Summary
In the present work a numerical methodology is developed to simulate the dynamic behavior of reed type valves of reciprocating compressors used in refrigeration. A one-degree freedom model is adopted for the valve motion, and a finite volume methodology is employed to obtain the flow field through the valve. The valve dynamics and the time dependent flow field are coupled and solved simultaneously. The flow through the valve is assumed laminar, compressible, isothermal and axisymmetric. [...]
