or be cross-compound, the thrust on the crank bear-ings is more uniform. But, in any given case, there is a limit-ing value for the number of stages; practically when the thermo-dynamic gain is offset by the interest on the extra capital invested,plus depreciation and mechanical losses. For final… … account must be taken of the clearance in designing a compressor;since, due to it, the effective volumetric displacement of the pistonis less than the actual volumetric displacement. Let, in Fig.48, AB represent the displacement of the piston, BC the com-pression, CD the expulsion, and EA the…
