Numerical investigation of refrigeration machine compressor operation considering single-phase electric motor dynamic characteristics

A Numerical Investigation on the Unstable Flow in a Single Stage of an Axial Compressor

An unsteady two-dimensional finite-volume solver was developed based on Van Leer’s flux splitting algorithm in conjunction with “Monotonic Upstream Scheme for Conservation Laws (MUSCL)” limiters to improve the order of accuracy and the two-layer Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model was also implemented. Two test cases were prepared to validate the solver. The computed results were compared with the e...

Design Optimization of an Oil-Flooded Refrigeration Single Screw Compressor

A single screw compressor is usually sealed by means of its tiny clearances. The theoretical research and the practice application shown that the leakage in the working process is always the key factor influencing the performance of this kind of compressor. Besides meeting the need of lubrication, the oil injection can greatly improve the sealing effect. It is obvious that the reduction of clea...

Dynamic Stress of Refrigeration Compressor Reed Valve with Oval Shape

The purpose of this study is both theoretically and experimentally to clarify the dynamic stress of a discharge reed valve with oval shape, and to get fundamental knowledge for the design of this type valve and its related parts. The strain measurements were performed on the strain gauge bonded on the surface of the oval shaped reed valve. The stress and deformation of the valve were also calcu...

Transient Characteristics of a Single-Effect Absorption Refrigeration Cycle

This paper deals with a lumped-parameter dynamic simulation of a single-effect LiBr-H2O absorption chiller. In many studies the thermodynamic properties of LiBr-H2O solution were taken from some approximate relations causing the results to be somewhat inaccurate. These relations were used to solve simultaneous differential equations involving the continuity of species constituting the LiBr-H2O ...
