Several phenomena that affect energy consumption, noise level and reliability of compressors are associated with transient effects that occur during the compressor startup and shutdown. This paper presents a simulation methodology, experimentally validated, developed to analyze the compressor in such transients. Because the time scale associated with the compressor thermal behavior is much larger than that related to the mechanical physics, a thermal equilibrium condition has been considered herein for convenience. Results for valve displacement, piston motion, pressure in the compression chamber and resistive torques are provided to illustrate the application of the methodology and to assist an understanding of the physical aspects that affect the compressor performance throughout the startup and shutdown. It is observed that the dynamics of suction and discharge valves are greatly affected. Moreover, the model is employed to estimate the minimum voltage required for the compressor startup as a function of the equalized pressure and the auxiliary coil actuation time.
