Thermal modeling for the motor in semi-hermetic screw refrigeration compressors under part-load conditions

In the semi-hermetic screw refrigeration compressor, the motor is mostly cooled down by suction refrigerant before it flows into the compressor suction port. To investigate cooling effects of the motor and performance of the compressor under part-load conditions, a lumped parameter model describing heat-transfer characteristics inside the motor and a part-load model of screw refrigeration compressor are developed and validated. Heating effects at compressor suction end and heat conduction from the male rotor screw to the motor shaft are taken into account. Nodes representing refrigerant inside the motor cooling passages are modeled separately. Temperature rise of refrigerant through the motor increases when the compressor load drops by either suction volume variation or speed variation. With drop of the compressor load, stator winding temperature goes up in the case of suction volume variation by slide valve motion, but it lows in the case of speed variation by frequency conversion.

Characterization of lubricating oil effects on the performance of reciprocating compressors in air–water heat pumps

Lubricating oils play several key roles in compressors, such as lubrication of the parts exposed to friction, prevention of gas leakage at the compression chamber, and cooling of the pieces heated by friction. Oil viscosity and possibility of mixing with refrigerant are the significant factors that should be considered in choosing compatible lubricants. Generally, high viscosity lubricants reduce the efficiency and lubricants with low viscosity cause to direct contact between the metal parts in the compressor. In this study, an experimental procedure has been carried out to investigate the influences of oil circulation in the compressor working with R-404a refrigerant. Although this study has been devoted to a detailed attempt to identify the effects of oil viscosity on energy consumption, an innovative way to analyze this critical parameter has been carried out in parallel with other parameters including refrigerant charge amount, condenser water flow rate and air temperature in the evaporator. The sample oils selected for experiments are SL22, SL68 and SL220. The basic nature of the lubricants and their mixtures with refrigerant, COP value, compressor efficiency and exergetic efficiency of the system has been analyzed under different working conditions.     

Influence of the expansion device on the performance of a heat pump using R407C under a range of charging conditions

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of the expansion device on the performance of a water-to-water heat pump using R407C, which has been considered as one of the alternative refrigerants to replace R22 with “soft-optimization”, at various charging conditions. The heat pump applying the expansion devices of a capillary tube and an EEV was tested by varying refrigerant charge amount from −20% to +20% of full charge and changing water temperature entering the condenser from 30 °C to 42 °C, while maintaining water temperature entering the evaporator at 25 °C. The R22 capillary tube system is utilized as a baseline unit for the performance comparison with the R407C system. The performance of the capillary tube system is more sensitive to off-design charge than that of the EEV system. As the refrigerant charge deviates from the full charge, the R407C EEV system shows a much lower degradation of capacity and COP as compared to the R22 and R407C capillary tube systems due to an optimum control of superheat by electronically adjusting the EEV opening. In addition, the R407C EEV system shows more a stable compressor discharge temperature at off-design charge than the R407C capillary tube system.

Development of a virtual variable-speed compressor power sensor for variable refrigerant flow air conditioning system

This paper proposed a universal virtual variable-speed compressor power (VVCP) sensor for VRF system based on 20-coefficient model. Compressor power can be obtained by the VVCP sensor using three input parameters (frequency, condensing temperature and evaporation temperature) which are measured by system itself. The performance of the proposed VVCP sensor is evaluated using experiments data. Experimental conditions include cooling, heating and non-standard refrigerant charge levels. The result shows that the mean square percentage errors (MSPE) are 9.9% under cooling conditions and 7.96% under heating conditions. The MSPE are 9.88% at steady state and 9.75% at dynamic state when the VVCP sensor is applied under nine different refrigerant charge levels. It demonstrated that the proposed VVCP sensor can obtain compressor power under cooling, heating and non-standard refrigerant charge levels, which could be applied to do operational monitoring and fault detection and diagnosis for VRF system at low cost.     

Investigation of the heat pump water heater using economizer vapor injection system and mixture of R22/R600a

This paper presents the experimental study of a heat pump water heater (HPWH) using economizer vapor injection system and mixture of R22/R600a. Performances of HPWH using economizer vapor injection system are compared with that at different mixed mass ratios of R22/R600a. Study demonstrates that the heating capacity and energy efficiency ratio (EER) of the unit increased, and the discharge temperature of compressor decreased when using vapor injection and mixing refrigerant of R22/R600a. It is also found that the HPWH unit with economizer vapor injection system has a better performance for the high outlet water temperature under lower temperature conditions at 15% mass ratio of R600a for the mixing refrigerant. In addition, fundamental and practical influence of vapor injection pressure on the HPWH performance has been investigated experimentally. The simplified model is proposed for predicting the optimal vapor injection pressure of compressor using the mixing refrigerant R22/R600a.     

An elemental NTU- model for vapour-compression liquid chillers

This paper presents a steady-state model for predicting the performance of vapour-compression liquid chillers over a wide range of operating conditions. The model overcomes the idealisations of previous models with regard to modelling the heat exchangers. In particular, it employs an elemental NTU- methodology to model both the shell-and-tube condenser and evaporator. The approach allows the change in heat transfer coefficients throughout the heat exchangers to be accounted for, thereby improving both physical realism and the accuracy of the simulation model. The model requires only those inputs that are readily available to the user (e.g. condenser inlet water temperature and evaporator water outlet temperature). The outputs of the model include system performance variables such as the compressor electrical work input and the coefficient of performance (COP) as well as states of the refrigerant throughout the refrigeration cycle. The methodology employed within the model also allows the performance of chillers using refrigerant mixtures to be modelled. The model is validated with data from one single screw chiller and one twin-screw chiller where the agreement is found to be within ±10%.

Transient simulation of vapour-compression packaged liquid chillers

This paper presents a transient simulation model that is useful for predicting the dynamic performance of vapour-compression liquid chillers over a wide range of operating conditions. The model employs a thermal capacitance approach for specific state variables to account for the dynamics of the chiller and ancillaries. The model accounts for the change in heat transfer coefficients throughout the heat exchangers thereby improving both physical realism and the accuracy of the simulation model. The model requires only a select few initial conditions (eg. the chilled water and condenser water temperatures). A simple compressor model based on empirical regression has been employed in the simulation. The outputs of the model include system performance variables such as the compressor electrical work input and the coefficient of performance (COP) as well as states of the refrigerant throughout the refrigeration cycle with respect to time. The model is validated with data from two in -situ screw chillers. Predictions are found to be within ±10%, although for one of the chillers a degree of empiricism was employed for the evaporator tube wall mass in order to give satisfactory results for the start-up process.     

An investigation of the performance of a scroll compressor under liquid refrigerant injection

In this study, fundamental and practical influence of liquid refrigerant injection on the performance of a refrigerant scroll compressor has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. In the theoretical analysis, a compression model of vapor/liquid mixture is developed by taking account of heat transfer from the cylinder wall to suction, compression and injection refrigerant. An experiment has been done under the condition of keeping the oil temperature constant in order to investigate the fundamental influence of the liquid refrigerant injection on the compressor performance, and the results were compared with the theoretical ones. It was found that the injection basically increases the compression power and decreases the compressor efficiency, though the situation depends on the condition of the heat transfer to the injection refrigerant. And furthermore, the performance of the liquid refrigerant injection compressor under practical operating condition without controlling the oil temperature has been investigated. Under this condition, the compressor showed recovery and slight improvement of performance due to the decrease of the oil and cylinder temperatures by the injection. In addition, influence of the refrigerant injection on the oil viscosity and refrigerant solubility in the oil, which relate mechanical loss and reliability of the compressor, have been discussed.     

润滑油循环率对活塞式制冷压缩机性能影响的实验研究

论文用实验的方法研究了润滑油循环率对活塞式制冷压缩机工作性能的影响。为了确保实验分析的准确性,测试系统采用了双油分的装置,使排气后的制冷剂和润滑油尽量完全分离,制冷剂以纯冷媒的形式再次进入压缩机的吸气。实验中采用Sanyo某型号压缩机进行测试,其结果表明润滑油循环率随着压缩机注油量的增加而增加,油循环率对压缩机的制冷量、功率、COP以及排气温度均有影响,较低的油循环率使得压缩机具有较高的制冷量和COP,同时排气温度也比较高,较高油循环率则使压缩机的制冷量和COP下降。因此一定要选择与压缩机相匹配的注油量,控制油循环率在一个合理的范围内,这样既能使润滑油起到有效的润滑作用,保证压缩机正常工作,又能使压缩机获得最佳的性能指标。     

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.     

Experimental investigation on convective heat transfer mechanism in a scroll compressor

This paper describes an experimental study on the convective heat transfer inside the scroll compressor. An experimental refrigeration system is composed with extensive instrumentations in the compressor that is operated at variable speeds. The 13 thermocouples installed inside the compressor monitor the temperatures of the scroll wrap during compression process of refrigerant. The temperature and the pressure of refrigerant at suction, and the pressure at discharge ports are measured, and applied to the numerical simulation as the operating condition parameters. The temperature measured at the discharge port is used to verify the simulation result with relevant heat transfer coefficient. This paper describes the effect of motion of the orbiting scroll on the convective heat transfer in the scroll wraps. Separate experiments are performed to investigate the heat transfer in such a peculiar physical condition. With this experimental result, the effect of the oscillation of the wall on the heat transfer is quantitatively analyzed and applied to the simulation of compression process in scroll compressor. The whole consecutive compression processes in the scroll compressor is simulated in detail by solving equations of mass and energy balance for the refrigerant. The modified heat transfer coefficient correlation considering the effect of motion of the orbiting scroll predicts the discharge temperature better than other typical heat transfer coefficients.     

Transient thermal behavior of a water heater system driven by a heat pump

A dynamic model of a water heater system driven by a heat pump was designed to investigate transient thermal behavior of the system which was composed of a heat pump and a hot water circulation loop. Finite volume method was applied to describe the heat exchangers, and lumped parameter models were used to analyze the compressor and the hot water reservoir. Dynamic performances were evaluated as the hot water temperature changes for various sizes of the hot water reservoir. In order to compare the performance characteristics, time scale was normalized by the time constant determined from a quasi-steady state simulation of the system. From the simulation, the smaller size of the water reservoir was found to have larger transient performance degradation, and the larger size caused additional heat loss during the hot water storage period. Therefore, the reservoir size should be optimized in a design process to minimize both the heat loss and the performance degradation.

Experimental and numerical study of heat transfer characteristics using the heat balance in a linear compressor

A linear compressor was divided into several control volumes, and its thermal performance was analyzed by maintaining the whole energy balance throughout the heat transfer analysis for each control volume. During the steady state performance test of the compressor, basic measurements of the temperature and pressure were performed by using a calorimeter. First, the energy flow of each control volume was defined using the results of the measurements, and then heat transfer analysis was conducted. Next, the thermal network was defined by using a correlation for the energy balance. A software tool for compressor simulation was developed using a thermal network analysis in order to estimate the energy efficiency ratio (EER) according to the changes in thermal properties of the compressor. Experimental results show that the simulation tool is satisfied up to a 5% change in the EER according to variations in the ambient temperature and mixing ratio of the refrigerant.
