Experimental Research of the Operating Processes of Slow-speed Long-Stroke Oil-free Reciprocating Compressor Stages at Discharge Pressures up to 10 MPa

Theoretical researches of operating processes of slow-speed reciprocating compressor stages with linear drive, conducted by the authors of this paper, have determined the experimental confirmation necessity for gas compression possibility in one stage up to pressure 10.0 MPa and above at atmospheric suction pressure. The testing results of the newly developed experimental slow-speed piston compressor stage with linear hydraulic drive are presented in the paper at the ratio of the discharge to suction pressure values from 50 to 100.
