Abstract

Measuring surface temperature change is one of the techniques used for the instantaneous heat transfer measurement. The paper describes the influence of the surface temperature measurement thermocouple instalation on the heat transfer to the reciprocating compressor cylinder wall. Different thermocouple installation aspects are described and evaluated based on simulations and validated with available experimental data.
