Abstract
The suction process of a scroll compressor was investigated. The investigation started from the numerical simulation of the entire scroll compressor working process. The simulation included the upper main bearing housing, thrust plate, scrolls, dummy and discharge ports, check valve, plenum, and discharge line. The basic geometric features and physical mechanisms that the scroll compressor performance is associated with were simulated first. The working fluid was Refrigerant 134a. The suction process was studied as a part of the integrated working environment. The fundamental mechanism of the suction process was defined. The interaction of the compressor design features was quantified. The overall parameters were calculated from the field quantities. The relationship between design details, flow physics, and performance characteristics was established. The methodology developed and the data obtained can be applied to the design and optimization of scroll compressors.
