Abstract
A new multi-chamber rotary compressor (MCRC) has been designed and the simulation result is presented in this paper. MCRC utilizes the space within the cylinder and it has the advantage of being more compact. Mathematical models which include geometrical, thermodynamics, mass flow and discharge valve have been formulated to evaluate the performance of MCRC. Parametric studies have also been carried out to determine the effects of design parameters such as suction and discharge ports size, valve length, valve thickness and valve width on compressor performance. In this paper, mathematical models will be presented and the predictions of the model will be shown and discussed.
Highlights
In order to reduce the energy consumption by AC&R [1,2,3,4,5,6], a new multi-chamber rotary compressor (MCRC) has been designed
The initial simulation study of MCRC has been carried out which includes geometrical model, kinematics model, thermodynamics model, mass flow model and valve response model
Parametric study shows that larger suction and discharge port sizes are preferred in order to reduce the suction and discharge losses
Summary
In order to reduce the energy consumption by AC&R [1,2,3,4,5,6], a new multi-chamber rotary compressor (MCRC) has been designed. This new machine improves the compactness of conventional rolling piston compressor by introducing more working space at a given overall volumetric size of the compressor. The working fluid is being drawn into both outer and inner suction chambers. The working fluid in both outer and inner compression chambers are being compressed and discharged when the pressure reaches the desired discharged pressure. The effect of various design parameters on the compressor performance will be presented and discussed
