Mechanical thermocompressor is suited for gas compression with constant volume by means of heat addition. Its classic modelling theories usually do not take into account non-isothermal conditions of its chambers. This article deals with thermocompressor modelling with nonisothermal hot and cold chambers. The results of the modelling show significant loss (16.45%) of compressor delivery due to non-isothermal conditions of its chambers. Maximal mass mean temperature deviations for cold and hot chambers are equal to 14.98% and-8.5% correspondingly. 

Abstract. This article deals with investigation of different factors influence on thermocompressor. These factors include regeneration efficiency, dead volume, working frequency, heat transfer coefficient, thermocompressor diameter and fins application. Calculation shows that most influential factors are regeneration efficiency, dead volume and diameter. It was also found that fins application is not effective for thermocompressor performance enhancement.
