Compressor is one of the most widely employed component in fluid machinery system. It takes tremendous efforts to improve compressor efficiency which affects the coefficient of performance of air-conditioning and refrigeration systems directly. Among various types of compressor, scroll-type compressor is commonly prevalent one with its high compression capability despite relatively small size and weight. Numerous experimental studies have been done to develop for the scroll-type compressor; however, computational models to evaluate the compressor performance or efficiency are not much available in the course of compressor designing process. In this study, a computational model was developed on the basis of geometrical theory using 1-D commercial software AMESim. A simulation study was carried out using the model, and the simulation result was validated with analytical data. This research is expected to provide a viable tool for developing and optimizing a scroll-type compressor.

The hybrid vehicle has a good fuel economy with a electric type braking energy regeneration system. This paper introduced a novel pneumatic type braking energy regeneration system. The novel system use a scroll mechanism which have both compression function and expansion function. While vehicle is decelerating, the scroll machinery, being operated as a scroll compressor, compress a atmospheric air to save the vehicle's kinetic energy and reuse a compressed air which is reserved in a air tank while vehicle is accelerating. In order to analyze fuel improvements by applying braking energy regeneration system to a vehicle, we simulated the rate of braking energy regeneration through CVS-75 mode driving patterns.

An experimental study has been performed to investigate the correlation on compressor discharge temperature of capacity modulated system A/C in cooling mode. Indoor and outdoor temperatures, the cooling capacity, compressor discharge temperature and loading time are measured by the psychrometric calorimeter. The system is controlled by applying the scroll compressor operated by PWM valve and loading duty. With decreasing outdoor temperature, the cooling capacity increases. But, with decreasing indoor temperature, it decreases. According to the increase in outdoor temperature and loading duty, compressor discharge temperature increases. From these experimental data, the correlation on compressor discharge temperature is proposed. The correlation obtained from the present study is agreed with the experimental data within $3^{\circ}C$.

The objective of this study is to investigate the cooling performance of the roof mounted air-conditioning system using electric driven scroll compressor for zero emission vehicles. This air conditioner with air source was used R-134a as a refrigerant and tested under various operating conditions such as refrigerant charge amount and indoor temperature, and compressor frequencies. Experimental results revealed that at all tested compressor frequencies, heat transfer rate of the evaporator increased and the cooling COP increased with the indoor temperature. In addition, the heat transfer rate of the evaporator was over 25.0kW sufficient for the cooling loads of an electric bus.

In this paper, conceptual design of scroll expander-compressor for Stirling engine utilizing solar energy as heat source has been carried out. Orbiting scroll member was designed to have a double-sided structure to reduce the overall scroll size and to cancel out the axial forces on the orbiting scroll base plate. Diameter of designed scroll base plate was about 251 mm for the expander, and it was about 218 mm for the compressor. With operating condition such as temperature range of $400^{\circ}C/20^{\circ}C$, pressure range of 6 MPa/2 MPa, and shaft speed of 2700 rpm, the shaft output of the designed scroll expander was calculated to be 49.8 kW, while input power for the scroll compressor was 38.6 kW, yielding 11.2 kW for the output power of the Stirling engine. Overall efficiencies of the scroll expander and compressor were 93.73% and 92.87%, respectively.

An internal combustion engine is the most widely used power source for an automobile. In order to resolve environmental problems resulting from the use of internal combustion engines, environmentally friendly automobiles such as hybrid, electric, and air-engine vehicles are being developed. The share of hybrid vehicles using battery or pure electric vehicles, which are not popular, is gradually increasing. Compared to an electric vehicle, which uses an electric motor, air-engine vehicles, which use compressed air, have hardly been developed. In this study, a compressed air engine with a scroll expander is introduced, and the potential mileage of an automobile utilizing this engine is theoretically calculated.

The theoretical investigation is done on the dynamic behavior of a crank shaft used in a scroll compressor. The compression performance of a scroll compressor is directly influenced by the sealing characteristics between fixed and orbiting scrolls, which is related with the dynamic behavior of a scroll compressor. Analyzing the constrained power transmitting system is came to be of importance, accordingly. The equations of motion and interacting forces of a scroll compressor are derived and solved numerically in this paper. The locus of the crank shaft is also obtained by employing the reaction force caused by the oil film of journal bearing. The results show that the crank shaft of a scroll compressor has considerably stable rotating locus.
