Abstract
A general scroll compressor model with high accuracy, fast simulation speed and good numerical robustness is proposed in this study. The governing ordinary differential equations derived from mass and energy conservation use pressure and specific enthalpy as state variables, which can be applied to both single-phase compression and two-phase compression. Both the governing equations for inner compression and the nonlinear equations for internal leakages are explicit in pressure and specific enthalpy to avoid severe numerical stiff problems. In addition, the detailed scroll wrap temperature distribution is calculated based on the proposed second order differential equation considering heat conduction and periodic heat convection. Validation against experimental data shows that cooling capacity errors are less than 3.5% and power consumption errors are less than 2.8% in non-injection and liquid injection conditions. Evaluation of model speed and robustness shows that the model has a convergence rate of 100% and an average calculation speed of 12.4 s per case in various conditions.
