The dynamic characteristics of reciprocating compressor with clearance between crankshaft and connecting rod were studied. The clearance was regarded as massless virtual link and the dynamics model was established by using Lagrange equation. The variation law of displacement, velocity and acceleration are analyzed under different clearance and different speed conditions of the slider. No-load and load of reciprocating compressor motion were studied. through the phase diagram and the maximum Lyapunov index method. It is found that chaos generally exists reciprocating compressor with clearance between crankshaft and connecting rod and the piston force makes the chaotic motion more intense. Keywords: reciprocating compressor, clearance, massless virtual link, Lyapunov index, chaos. 1. Introduction Reciprocating piston compressor is mainly used for compressing and conveying gas, which is widely used in petroleum and chemical industry. Due to the complex structure and the large TI - Dynamics analysis of reciprocating compressor with a clearance between crankshaft and connecting rod JF - Vibroengineering PROCEDIA DO - 10.21595/vp.2017.19285 DA - 2017-12-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/dynamics-analysis-of-reciprocating-compressor-with-a-clearance-between-2j2G8uHTX9 DP - DeepDyve ER -
