what is the effect of clearance volume in performance of air-
compressor???

Answer Posted / bejoy

clearance volume of a compressor actually should be minimum
enought 2 avoid piston from striking the head(thermal
expansion and valve clearance should be given)..it should
be minimum bcos greater the clearance more compressed gas
tht left in the cylinder after each compression stroke, so
tht leads to energy loss and lower efficiency..(volumetric
efficiency goes down)..
