the expander-cylinder is 0.05 ofits piston displacement, the factor for clearance becomes I — 100 (-) + 5 _ 100 0.963, which makes the piston displacement 1.90 H- 0.963 = 1.97 cubic feet. If now we allow ten per cent for imperfections, we will get forthe dimensions: stroke 2 feet, diameter of the… … Fig. shown by Fig. 88. The essential parts are the compressor A,the condenser B, the valve D, and the vaporizer C. The com-pressor draws in vapor at a low pressure and temperature,compresses it, and delivers it to the condenser, which consistsof coils of pipe surrounded by cooling water that enters…
