Clearance Volume of Compressor given Stroke Volume Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Clearance volume = Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Stroke Volume of Compressor
Vc = V1-Vp
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Clearance volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The clearance volume is the volume remaining above the piston of an engine when it reaches top dead center.
Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor is the volume of refrigerant in compressor before compression.
Stroke Volume of Compressor - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The stroke volume of compressor is the displacement volume of the piston, between the top dead center and the bottom dead center of the compressor.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor: 3.36 Cubic Meter --> 3.36 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Stroke Volume of Compressor: 1.5 Cubic Meter --> 1.5 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Vc = V1-Vp --> 3.36-1.5
Evaluating ... ...
Vc = 1.86
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
1.86 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
1.86 Cubic Meter <-- Clearance volume

11 Volumetric Efficiency of a Reciprocating Compressor Calculators

Volumetric Efficiency in Compressor given Clearance Factor
Go Volumetric Efficiency of Compressor = 1+Clearance factor-(Clearance factor*(Discharge Pressure of Refrigerant/Suction pressure)^(1/Polytropic Index for Compression))
Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor given Clearance Factor
Go Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor = (Clearance volume/Clearance factor)+Clearance volume
Clearance factor
Go Clearance factor = Clearance volume/(Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Clearance volume)
Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor given Actual Volume
Go Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor = Actual volume of Refrigerant+Expanded clearance volume
Expanded Clearance Volume given Actual Volume of Compressor
Go Expanded clearance volume = Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Actual volume of Refrigerant
Actual volume of refrigerant
Go Actual volume of Refrigerant = Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Expanded clearance volume
Actual Volume of Refrigerant given Volumetric Efficiency
Go Actual volume of Refrigerant = Volumetric Efficiency of Compressor*Stroke Volume of Compressor
Stroke Volume of Compressor given Volumetric efficiency
Go Stroke Volume of Compressor = Actual volume of Refrigerant/Volumetric Efficiency of Compressor
Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor given Stroke Volume of Compressor
Go Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor = Stroke Volume of Compressor+Clearance volume
Clearance Volume of Compressor given Stroke Volume
Go Clearance volume = Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Stroke Volume of Compressor
Stroke Volume of Compressor
Go Stroke Volume of Compressor = Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Clearance volume

Clearance Volume of Compressor given Stroke Volume Formula

Clearance volume = Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Stroke Volume of Compressor
Vc = V1-Vp

Effects Due to Less Clearance

Small clearance volume may result in piston banging or colliding to the cylinder head. This is dangerous when the compressor when is running in unloaded condition without any resistance to the movement of the piston.

Effects Due to Large Clearance

Large clearance retards the formation of vacuum on the suction stroke and thus less air is drawn inside for compression and accordingly the weight of the air delivered is reduced proportionally to the clearance volume.

How to Calculate Clearance Volume of Compressor given Stroke Volume?

Clearance Volume of Compressor given Stroke Volume calculator uses Clearance volume = Total Volume of Refrigerant in Compressor-Stroke Volume of Compressor to calculate the Clearance volume, The Clearance Volume of Compressor given Stroke Volume formula is defined as the space remaining in the compressor cylinder at the end of the stroke.
