Abstract
Dynamic imbalance is one of the primary issues in rotary compressor applications, which can generate significant vibration. A dynamic balance design is required to minimize the moment and additional inertia force, which can be eliminated by adding a counterweight. This paper utilized a solid plate that has cavities filled with particle damper as a novel design to satisfy the dynamic balance. Vibrational energy is dissipated in collisions between particles through momentum exchange and is converted into energy for consumption that consists of inelastic collision energy and frictional energy. The discrete element method (DEM) and multi-body dynamics (MBD) were applied for two-way coupling for a dynamic balance simulation. The impact of particle size, friction coefficient, and restitution coefficient on energy dissipation in rotary compressors was evaluated, and the particle radius of 1 mm produced the most satisfactory. The experiment measured the vibrational acceleration in the tangential and radial directions at a particular duration and frequency to reflect the particle damper’s dynamic balance and energy dissipation effect. Both simulation and experimental results confirmed that the novel design features are more acceptable than the original to satisfy the dynamic balance of a rotary compressor.
