Abstract

An oil-injection CO2 scroll compressor prototype and relative simulation model are developed for automotive Air Conditioning. The effects of oil to refrigerant mass ratio on the compressor performance are studied theoretically and experimentally. The results show that oil-injection is an effective way to improve the volumetric and indicated efficiencies, and reduce discharge temperature. The optimal oil-injection quantity varies at different conditions, and it decreases from 7.9% to 6.3% at fixed discharge pressure 10MPa when the suction pressure increases from 4.5MPa to 5MPa. Similar linear relationships are found and the different slopes of the line are exhibited at fixed suction and discharge pressure separately. Numerical results show that oil-injection has little influence on pressure in working chamber during suction and discharge process, but it can slow up the rising of pressure in compression process and reduce the salient of pressure at the end of compression process.
