Modeling And Testing The Thermal Effect Of Lubricating Oil Sprayed In Sliding-Vane Air Compressors Using Pressure-Swirl Nozzles
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of studies report the benefit of proper oil spraying in positive-displacement compressors. This work presents a thermodynamic model for simulating sliding-vane air compressors that employ an injection system for the lubricating oil based on both plain orifices and pressure-swirl nozzles to exploit the thermal effect of sprayed oil inside the compression chambers. An experimental campaign on a large-size compressor is conducted measuring, among all, the pressure within a chamber. This measurement is used to validate the model. Oil droplet diameters depend strongly on the injection technology, nozzles generating a finer atomization than orifices, as well as the differential pressure. In any case, the proper positioning of the nozzles allows for an effective heat transfer from the air to the oil.

Performance Enhancement in Sliding Vane Rotary Compressors through a Sprayed Oil Injection Technology
In Sliding Vane Rotary Compressors, as well as in most of positive displacement machines, the oil is injected to accomplish sealing and lubrication purposes. However, the oil injection could produce an additional outcome during the compression phase with a great saving potential from the energetic point of view. Being the air inside the cell at a higher temperature than the oil injected, a cool...

متن کاملAssuring Reliability of Compressors Using HFC Refrigerants
In Japan, the refrigerant used in room air-conditioners has been changed from HCFC-22 (R-22) to R-410A, a blend of HFC-32 and HFC-125 (50/50 vt%), in order to protect the ozone layer. Generally, the miscibility between the refrigerant and refrigeration oil must be assured, because the oil needs to return to the compressor from the refrigeration cycle and lubricate the sliding parts. Alternative...
