Abstract: This paper presents an investigation of the effect of part load operation on a Cooper GMV-10 integral engine compressor, together with predictions of reduced disablement of one or more power cylinders. Based on results for this particular unit, guidance is presented for applying this method of fuel savings to other units. The paper Includes a summary of user experience with power cylinder deactivation, including both observed fuel savings and some minor problems. Results show that misfiring can be a major contributor to increased fuel consumption under part load, and thai observed fuel savings from deactivation are directly attributable to more consistent achievement of fuel combustion in ail active cylinders.
