Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Compressors are critical components in numerous industrial areas and fields of application. The improvement in the energy performance of compressors is beneficial for compressor users and also helps to meet the constraints and requirements set by organizations that aim to achieve green and efficient energy systems.

The goal of this Special Issue is to explore the current trends, technologies and applications of high-energy performance compressors, as well as related scientific and technological challenges and solutions. The Special Issue welcomes contributions that cover, but are not limited to, theoretical, computational, experimental and practical aspects of compressors aiming to improve energy performance. Topics relevant to the SI include:

  • Analytical, numerical and computational analysis;
  • Structural dynamics;
  • Machinery noise and vibration;
  • Fluid-structure interaction;
  • Structural health monitoring;
  • Fatigue damage and fracture diagnosis;
  • Optimal design and operation;
  • Material systems and technologies for compressors;
  • Manufacturing and materials processing for compressors;
  • Experimental investigations.

Capturing internal flow experimentally presents significant challenges due to the asymmetric propagation and strong unsteadiness of a stall cell in the circumferential direction. In this study, a low-speed counter-rotating axial compressor test rig was designed based on a counter-rotating compressor to immobilize a stall cell and measure its internal flow characteristics. Determining an appropriate speed ratio that is capable of stabilizing the circumferential position of the stall cell in the counter-rotating compressor enabled visualization measurements to be conducted successfully. The preliminary results demonstrated the successful immobilization of the stall cell using an appropriate rotating speed ratio. Furthermore, the oil flow visualization measurements confirmed the presence of a distinct stall cell structure on the casing wall. This work represents an innovative approach towards immobilizing stall cells in axial compression systems. Full article

The ionic compressor is a new and prospective technology applied for hydrogen storage which adopts a hydraulic system in which the hydraulic drive unit is a solid piston in the compression cavity. Controlling the trajectory of the solid piston is critical for achieving the designed thermodynamic process of compression. However, a strategy for controlling the position of a piston in an ionic compressor has not been reported in the open literature. In this paper, three valve-controlled methodologies are proposed for the effective control of a piston’s trajectory in an ionic compressor. A transient numerical model of the entire compression system was built using AMESim 2021 software. The performances of the proposed control methods were simulated and compared. The results show that the maximum isothermal efficiency, 50.28%, was obtained in the system using Position-P control, for which the highest hydrogen discharge mass for a single compression cycle of 1.14 g, a relatively low specific energy consumption of 2395.17 J/g, and a relatively small velocity control error of 0.32 m/s were observed. Although the lowest specific energy consumption was found in the case of the Dual-PS control method, the smallest mass product was also found for this case. Therefore, the Position-S control strategy was identified as the optimal method for a hydraulically driven ionic liquid compressor system. Full article
