Thermal-structural coupled analysis and improvement of the diaphragm compressor cylinder head for a hydrogen refueling station

When applied in the hydrogen refueling station, the diaphragm compressor with super-high pressure ratio will experience a high discharge temperature of over 200 °C, especially for that with large capacity and horsepower. Considering the thermal stress, the structural strength and deformation of the cylinder head are crucial to the reliability and efficiency of the diaphragm compressor. In this paper, a thermal-structural coupled analysis was...
