Summary

The present work is concerned with the anal ysis of new conceptio ns of reed valves, largely used in reciprocating compressors for household refrige ration. These valves open and close according to the pressure difference betwee n the cylinder and the respective suction and discharge chambers. When the valv e is open, its dynamics is main ly controlled by its stiffness and inertia, and by the gas flow through the valv e, which causes a pressure load on the reed surface. [...]
