Small-scale turbocompressors for wide-range operation with large tip-clearances for a two-stage heat pump concept

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Adeel Javed

Two mechanically driven small-scale turbocompressors running on gas lubricated bear-ings have been theoretically designed for a 6.5 kW two-stage heat pump functioning under variable operating conditions. The novelty in the heat pump system lies in the appl ...

Stabilization of electrodynamic bearings with active magnetic dampers

Qingwen Cui

Electrodynamic Bearings (EDBs) are a kind of passive magnetic bearings that exploits the interaction between the induced eddy currents in a conductor and a magnetic field to provide re-storing forces. They have been regarded as an appealing alternative to ...

Energetic Macroscopic Representation of A Linear Reciprocating Compressor Model

Alfred Rufer, François Gallaire, Philippe Barrade, Mahbod Heidari

This article introduces the energetic macroscopic representation (EMR) as approach for the dynamic nonlinear modeling of a reciprocating air compressor. EMR has been introduced recently for research development in complex electromechanical systems and is b ...

Modeling and Experimental Investigation of an Oil-Free Microcompressor-Turbine Unit for an Organic Rankine Cycle Driven Heat Pump

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Jonathan Demierre, Antonio Rubino

Domestic heating and cooling will more and more have to rely on heat pumps (HPs) in order to support a more rational use of primary energy consumption. The HP market is mainly dominated by electrically driven vapor compression cycles and by thermally drive ...

Bond Graph Model Representation of a New Reciprocating Finned Air Compressor

Alfred Rufer, Mahbod Heidari

A new finned reciprocating air compressor model is developed recently for compressed air energy storage. First the mechanism of operation of the new compressor is described. The complexity of the design encouraged us to develop the model based on the bond ...

Thermo-Electric Analogy Method for Computing Transient Heat Transfer in a New Reciprocating Finned Piston Compressor

John Richard Thome, Alfred Rufer, Mahbod Heidari

In the framework of Isothermal Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), a new finned piston compressor has been designed and realized at LEI laboratory in EPFL. This system comprises a series of concentric annuli’s fitting into each other compressing the air ...
