The Rotor System Balance Design of Scroll Fluid Machinery

Abstract

The rotor system balance design is always one of the main concerns in scroll fluid machinery dynamics, as it affects the scroll mechanical reliability, safety and life. According to the scroll fluid machinery working principle and structure, combined with the dynamic balance theory, four kinds of balance weight design philosophy were proposed in this paper and verified by a specific example, in which the bearding loads were calculated using four design methods and compared. The results show that the balance design philosophy will have a significant effect on fluid dynamic characteristics. The result is helpful for optimizing the rotor balance design of scroll fluid machinery and improving the mechanical properties.
