Curvature Continuous Valve Configuration and Flow Path Design for Natural Gas Compressors
To improve the performance of natural gas compressor,a curvature continuous valve with conical section bus is pre-sented.Mathematical model of flow area of curvature continuous valve is constructed.Through CFD The internal flow field and flow performance of curvature continuous valve were simulated and analyzed by numerical simulation.The pressure loss,aerody-namic force and trace flow angle of curvature continuous valve were obtained,and the configuration and flow path of curvature continuous valve were optimized.The curvature continuous valve and platform cone valve were simulated,the results of the com-parison of the aerodynamic force,flow area and pressure loss are obtained.The results show that the geometric parameters of the curvature continuous valve directly determine its performance indicators.Under the same working conditions,the performance of curvature continuous valve is better than that of traditional platform cone valve.The results provide a theoretical basis for the study of valve configuration innovation.
