Variable thickness scroll compressor performance analysis—Part II: Dynamic modeling and model validation

Abstract

In order to investigate the performance of variable thickness scroll compressor, a detail mathematical modeling based on energy and mass balances is established in this two-part. In part II, dynamic modeling and model validation are developed. Temperature, pressure, mass flow of working chambers, friction loss power of moving parts, efficiency, and shaft power are investigated by solving the mathematical modeling. The experimental rig for variable thickness scroll compressor based on involute of circle, high order curve and arc is set up. From the comparison of the simulated and measured data, it can be seen that the compressor model predicts the mass flow, discharge temperature, and shaft power very well. So the proposed mathematical modeling can accurately describe all the suction, compression, and discharge processes for variable thickness scroll compressor.
