Load simulation and experimentation of two-stage reciprocating air compressor drive system

Abstract In this paper, an electromechanical coupling method is proposed to simulate the torque load of a reciprocating compressor drive system, and the feasibility of the method is verified by carrying a reverse torque test platform. The load torque of the motor drive shaft under three different exhaust pressures of 0.6 MPa, 1 MPa, and 1.8 MPa were simulated and tested, respectively, and the results show that the load fluctuation of the 1 MPa condition has the least influence, which is the optimal condition for this compressor.
