Compressor Suction Accumulator with Pre-Charged Oil
نویسنده
چکیده
A compressor accumulator based on a different concept from a conventional suction accumulator is proposed. The new accumulator distinguishes itself from the conventional design in that it is pre~ charged with oil. Primary function of an accumulator being storage of excess refrigerant during certain operating conditions of the air conditioning system, this pre~charging may first seems odd, but from a compressor reliability standpoint it offers several major advantages compared to the conventional accumulator. An example of such an accumulator is introduced, operational characteristics observed, reliability evaluated and potential risks defined.

Introducing an Auxiliary Accumulator with Pre-Charged Oil to Air Conditioning System
The rotary compressor accumulator with pre-charged oil has already been developed and the concept published.[I] Compared to the conventional accumulator, the new accumulator differentiates itself from the conventional one in that the new accumulator is pre-charged with a pre-determined amount of oil. It offers advantages as a conventional accumulator attached to rotary compressor. This paper no...

In this paper, the transient refrigerant gas flow in a two-cylinder rolling piston type rotary compressor is simulated using STAR-CD, a general computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. Three models with different suction piping systems are calculated respectively, one is two suction pipes were connected from accumulator to each cylinder separately (separate suction piping system), the other...
متن کامل: Numerical Prediction of Radiated Noise Level From Suction Accumulators of Rotary Compressors
Jay Kim Structural Dynamics Research Laboratory University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, OH 45221-0072 Since the suction accumulator is one of components with large surface area in rolling piston type rotary compressors, its contribution to the total radiated noise may be substantial. In this study, possible noise sources of the accumulator are discussed. The noise radiated from accumulators are pr...
