Optimization of refrigeration system with gas-injected scroll compressor

Gas refrigerant injection has been proven as an effective method to improve the performance of the scroll compressor and its refrigeration system under high compression ratio working conditions. Much research on the injected scroll compressor and its system has been conducted, but the universal control and design method is still lacking. A model of the refrigeration system with a gas-injected scroll compressor is developed in this paper. With this model, the effects of gas injection on the system and component parameters are investigated. Based on the identified evaporator characteristics and thermodynamic analysis, a set of general principles for the design and operation of the refrigeration or heat pump system with a gas-injected scroll compressor is proposed.     

Thermodynamic analysis on the performance of a variable speed scroll compressor with refrigerant injection

A thermodynamic model for a variable speed scroll compressor with refrigerant injection was developed using continuity, energy conservation and real gas equation. The model included energy balance in the low-pressure shell compressor, suction gas heating, motor efficiency, and volumetric efficiency considering gas leakages as a function of compressor frequency. The developed model was verified by comparing the predicted results for the no injection condition with the experimental data. The deviations of the predicted from the measured values were within 10% for approximately 90% of the experimental data. Based on the model, mass flow rate, suction gas heating, cooling capacity and power consumption of the compressor were estimated and analyzed as a function of frequency. The effects of refrigerant injection on the performance of the compressor were also discussed as a function of frequency, injection conditions, and injection geometry.

Scroll compressor modelling for heat pumps using hydrocarbons as refrigerants

Hydrocarbons are today considered as promising alternatives to hydrofluorocarbons thanks to their low environmental impact and their easy implementation. However, some precautions have to be taken to thwart their flammability. European regulations impose to take stringent measures regarding components and to install heat pumps in unoccupied spaces. Nevertheless manufacturers keep working on components for hydrocarbons. In the frame of a research project on heat pumps for simultaneous heating and cooling, an R407C prototype working with a scroll compressor was built and tested. A near-industrial prototype is today being designed for propane with the help of recent modelling techniques. After having detailed the main issues regarding hydrocarbons as refrigerants, this article reviews scroll compressor modelling studies and presents the development of a thermodynamically realistic scroll compressor model. It was first developed for R407C and then adapted to thermodynamic properties of hydrocarbons and to other sizes of compressors.     

Mathematical modeling of scroll compressors — part II: overall scroll compressor modeling

This paper presents the development of a comprehensive simulation model of a horizontal scroll compressor, which combines a detailed compression process model (Chen Y., Halm N., Groll E., Braun J. Mathematical modelling of scroll compressors — part I: compression process modeling, International Journal of Refrigeration 2002;25(6):731–750) and an overall compressor model. In the overall model, compressor components are analyzed in terms of nine different elements. Steady state energy balance equations are established applying the lumped capacitance method. In combination with the detailed compression process model, these equations were implemented into computer code and solved recursively. In this way, the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant in different compressor chambers, the temperature distributions in the scroll wraps, and the temperatures of the other compressor elements can be obtained. Thereafter, power consumption and efficiency of the compressor can be calculated. Tests were used to verify the overall model on a macroscopic basis. Using the simulation program based on the overall compressor model, a parametric study of the scroll compressor was performed, and the effects of internal leakage and heat transfer losses were investigated and some preliminary results were obtained. These results indicate that the comprehensive scroll compressor model is capable of predicting real compressor behavior and useful to the design and optimization of scroll compressors.     

A lumped-parameter thermal model for scroll compressors including the solution for the temperature distribution along the scroll wraps

A lumped-parameter thermal model is presented to predict the temperature in different chambers and components inside scroll compressors with particular attention to gas superheating in the suction process. Thermal resistances between the components are based on global heat transfer conductances, whereas conduction heat transfer through the scroll wraps is solved via a one-dimensional finite volume method. The thermal model was coupled to a thermodynamic model of the compression cycle and then applied to simulate the compressor performance under different conditions of speed and pressure ratio. The model was able to correctly predict the compressor temperature for operating conditions within the range of those adopted for its calibration. The results showed a strong coupling between the compressor thermal profile and the temperatures of the motor and lubricating oil. It has also been found that heat conduction through the scroll wraps reduces slightly the discharge temperature.     

Dynamic model for the orbiting scroll based on the pressures in scroll chambers–Part I: Analytical modeling

This two-part work proposes a dynamic model for the orbiting scroll based on the pressures in the scroll chambers. In Part I, the scroll mechanism and characteristic polygon of the scroll compressor are defined, the geometry of the multi-wrap compressor is described, the modification and construction methods for one multi-wrap scroll are presented, and the dynamic model is developed. Thereafter, the overturning moment and theoretical driving power of the scroll mechanism are discussed. This dynamic model can predict the pressure distribution on wrap surfaces as well as the variations of the axial force, tangential force, radial force, overturning moment, self-rotation moment, and resistance moment. This dynamic model provides better understanding of scroll compressors and other types of scroll machines. The investigations on scroll compressors using this model and the model verification are reported in Part II.     

Evaluation of two-phase suction,liquid injection and two-phase injection for decreasing the discharge temperature of the R32 scroll compressor

R32 has been considered as an important alternative in the phase-out of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) due to its advantages such as relatively low global warming potential compared to R410A, favorable thermal properties. However, the increased discharge temperature of the R32 compressor, compared with R410A, is the main barrier affecting the wide and quick adoption. In this work, three promising methods to decrease the discharge temperature of R32 scroll compressor, namely, two-phase suction, liquid injection and two-phase injection, have been investigated. By considering the variations of motor efficiency and leakage rate, an improved distributed parameter model of the scroll compressor is rebuilt based on a previously developed one (Wang et al., 2008). By that model, the effectiveness of these three methods in decreasing discharge temperature and their influence on thermodynamic performance are researched. It is concluded that all the three methods show excellent potential in decreasing the discharge temperature of R32 scroll compressor. Besides, two-phase injection outperforms the other two methods in cooling capacity and COP by 11.8% and 4.8%, respectively.     

Comparative study of the impact of the dummy port in a scroll compressor

A dummy port plays an important role in the porting process and the improvement of the performance of a scroll compressor. This paper documents an investigation on the working mechanism of the dummy port in a scroll compressor. To characterize the dummy port effects on the different parts of the scroll compressor, two scroll compressors, one with and the other without a dummy port, are studied comparatively. The flow through the dummy port is examined in the background of an integrated compressor working process. The assembly of the compressor under investigation includes the upper bearing housing, scrolls, check valve, and discharge plenum. The Navier–Stokes equations with a k– turbulence model are solved at the standard operating conditions of a scroll compressor. Refrigerant-22 is used as the working fluid. The thermodynamic and transport properties of the refrigerant gas are modeled by the Martin–Hou equation of state and power laws, respectively. Global flow physics is investigated first to lay a foundation to understand the working mechanisms that control the porting process before averaging techniques are applied. The behavior of the gas pockets in the porting process is characterized in both geometric and dynamic nature. The time-dependent variation of volume, mass, energy, and volume-averaged field quantities inside the gas pockets are studied throughout the porting process. The impact of the dummy port on the compressor performance is defined.

Modeling of R-410A variable capacity compressor with Modelica and experimental validation

This paper presents an analysis of modeling methods for a short cycling, R-410A scroll compressor. Two parametric efficiency models of the short cycling scroll compressors are investigated, one with steady-state mean, and one with time varying efficiencies. Additionally, a dynamic model of a short cycling scroll compressor that incorporates scroll geometry, leakage, and a mathematical approximation of the digital capacity mechanism has been developed and verified against experimentally obtained data. Agreement with data for all methods was generally good, though in the dynamic model refrigerant mass flow was found to match observations when neglecting leakage. To validate the proposed models, a novel experimental testbed was developed by retrofitting a 15 ton nominal capacity rooftop heat pump with a short cycling scroll compressor. Unit operating conditions were varied in a parametric fashion using a large scale psychrometric chamber and the compressor transient performance was evaluated at full and part loads.     

Discussion on leaking characters in meso-scroll compressor

The leakage is unavoidable and has considerable influence on the performance of a scroll compressor. In a meso-scale scroll compressor, the working gas leakage is more serious because the gaps between the scroll plate pairs are more difficult to be sealed than the case in a normal scale scroll compressor. This paper analyzes the leakage and related factors with a simplified model, and discusses the performance that resulted from gas loss due to both leakages from tangential and axial directions in meso-scale compressors. The discussion and related results are helpful to determine some key parameters in the design and manufacture of meso-scroll compressors.

On the profile design of a scroll compressor

The scroll configuration plays a very important role in the design of a scroll compressor. Therefore, in the present paper, a general design process for the profile of a scroll compressor is proposed. The design process is developed based on geometric as well as kinematic considerations. It is general enough that not only a perfect meshing profile (PMP) but other profiles can be designed and constructed. The latter includes meshes with clearance and meshes with interference. A correction angle is introduced such that the discharge angle of the compressor can be varied from a negative value to a positive value, which in turn results in different shapes of scroll profile. The geometric boundary conditions for all profiles are maintained continuous up to the first order. Easier manufacture and better performance of scroll compressors may be predicted based on this condition. Computer simulations are provided to show that applicability and versatility of the proposed design process.     

A hybrid transient model for simulation of air-cooled refrigeration systems: Description and experimental validation

In this paper are described a hybrid dynamic model for transient simulation of refrigeration systems as well as dynamic experiments that have been performed on an air/water heap pump. The machine under consideration is made of an evaporator, a condenser, an expansion valve, a variable speed scroll compressor and a receiver. The refrigerant and second fluid flows in heat exchangers are approximated by a cascade of Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTRs). This model is quite flexible since a unique structure is used for the evaporator and the condenser models according to different boundary conditions. This is due to the use of a switching procedure between different configurations based on a phase stability test that is designed to ensure the continuity of the system simulation. An analytical thermodynamic model of the refrigerant based on an equation of state is used. Good agreement between simulation results and experimental data is achieved.
