Bending Fatigue Failures of Compressor Valve Reeds
نویسنده
چکیده
Bending fatigue failures OI cantilever type suction valve reeds occurred under operating conditions in a semi-hermetic refrigerant compressor during field trials. The finite element method (FEM) was applied to predict both the static and dynamic displacements and the resultant stresses of the reeds. The dynamic stresses in the location of the fracture exceeded the fatigue limit of the reed steel. The procedure could assist in the modification of a reed design so that failures due to bending fatigue were avoided.

A Method to Determine the Safety Coefficient in Fatigue of Compressor Valves
This paper proposes a method of evaluating the fatigue life of a refrigeration compressor reed valve, given the applied stresses as might be computed by a valve simulation. Mean and alternating values of equivalent stresses (e.g. Von Mises) are plotted in the Haigh diagram. Various choices of models are considered for the safe area of the diagram. This method takes into account surface finish, ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Bending Stresses in Cantilever Type Suction Valve Reeds
Design techniques are described which allow prediction of bending stresses in reed valves from theoretical and experimental data. Their application is to aid the development of more durable valves. A relatively simple analysis is described which permits valve stresses and impact velocities to be estimated from the initial pressure drop across a valve reed. (Conversely, experimental measurement ...

Prediction of the Valve Stresses of Rotary Compressor Using the Finite Element Method
In this study we analyzed both bending and impact stress of the discharge valve of the rotary compressor using a commercial FEM program MSC/NASTRAN and predicted the amount of maximum stress and the location it occurred. We measured the maximum stress of the valve in bolt case compressor using the resistance type strain gages. Good agreement was made by the comparison between the numerical anal...
متن کاملModulus of Elasticity and Its Influence on the Performance of Flapper Valve Materials
Modulus of elasticity of flapper valve material is an important parameter for compressor design since it can affect efficiency and life time of the compressor. Modulus of elasticity is usually considered as a material constant. Actually, it can vary with material orientations and conditions and even environments such as temperature will also affect this value. Therefore, the parameters that can...
