Compressor Capacity Calculations PDF

This document summarizes the specifications and performance of a reciprocating compressor. It has a 10 inch bore diameter, 8 inch stroke length, and 1.25 bore-to-stroke ratio, giving it an over-square design. With 4 cylinders operating at 350 RPM, it provides 370.8947532 kW of actual refrigeration capacity at -14C evaporation and 35C condensation temperatures for ammonia. An over-square design offers advantages of lower frictional losses, higher operating speeds, and reduced bearing loads.
