This paper presents leakage and performance characteristics of a tip-seal type scroll compressor, The performance of a scroll compressor is strongly dependent on the leak age across the compression pockets. However, literature for leakage characteristics of the tip seal type scroll compressor is very limited due to complex sealing mechanism. In the present study, a simulation study was executed to investigate the tip-seal type scroll compressor by considering leakages passing through flank and tip clearance. As a result, the leakage phenomena of the tip seal type scroll compressor as a function of discharge pressure, tip clearance, dimension of the tip seal were analyzed. Effects of leakage on the performance of the compressor were also clarified.

The scroll compressor used for heat pump has a wide range of operation condition. To cover both heating and cooling modes, the operating Pressure ratio ranges from 1.5 to 6.8. Since the scroll compressor, however, is a type of compressor whose pressure ratio is fixed, some loss in the compression work is caused by the operation at the pressure ratio different from the built-in pressure ratio. A way of avoiding this problem is to introduce by-Pass holes in compression chambers, so that the compressed gas of pressure higher than the discharge pressure, yet not reached to the discharge port can be released earlier through the by-Pass holes. In this paper, an optimum Positioning of the by-Pass hole and the effect of the by-pass valve on the compressor performance are studied.

In co-orbiting scroll compressor, the two scroll members are to orbit with independent radii, producing a relative orbit motion between them. One scroll member is driven by the crank mechanism while the motion of the other member is determined by geometrical constraints and reacting forces. This paper presents an analytical study on the performance of a co-orbiting scroll compressor. The following results have been obtained: Radial contact force between the scroll wraps is virtually free from the centrifugal force of the orbiting scroll member. The frictional losses are somewhat increased due to the complicated drive mechanism, yielding to a little lower EER compared to conventional radially compliant scroll compressors .

This paper presents an analytical method to evaluate the dynamic behavior of the scroll compressor. Unbalanced forces and moments act on the compressor body because of the reaction forces acting on rotating components like the orbiting scroll, Oldham coupling ring, and the crank shaft. The vibration of the compressor is induced by the forces and the moments. In this paper, through modeling of the leakage flow, solving the forces from the equations of motion of the moving parts, the analysis of vibration of the compressor was performed. According to the operating condition, the variation of acceleration of the compressor body were calculated and compared.

The dynamic behavior of crankshaft-bearing system in scroll compressor has been investigated using the combined methodologies of finite elements and transfer matrices. The finite element formulation is proposed including the field element for a shaft section and the point element at balancer weight locations, bearing locations, etc., whereas the conventional method is used with the elements. The Houbolt method is used to consider the time march for the integration of the system equations. The linear stiffness and damping coefficients are calculated for a finite cylindrical fluid-film bearing by solving the Reynolds equation, using finite difference method. The orbital response of crankshaft supported on the linear bearing model is obtained, considering balancer weights of motor rotor. And, the steady state displacement of crankshaft are compared with a variation in balancer weight. The loci of crankshaft at bearing locations are composed of the synchronous whirl component and the non-synchronous whirl component.

A parametric study on the scroll wrap configuration factors of a $CO_2$scroll compressor for heat pump water heater has been carried out. Since there are 7 scroll wrap design parameters and 5 equations relating them, two of the design parameters can be selected as independent parameters. In this study, the wrap thickness and orbiting radius are chosen as independent ones. Computer simulation program has been used to estimate the compressor performance at various combinations of the scroll wrap design parameters. It has been found that there exists optimum combination of the wrap parameters for the highest compressor performance over analyzed ranges of the design parameters.

A performance analysis of refrigeration system using the HFC-134a and scroll compressor is performed numerically. The refrigeration system mainly consists of various standard components such as heat exchanger, compressor, and expansion device. The model for heat exchanger performance is based on a tube-by-tube method which is analyzed separately by considering the cross-flow heat transfer with the outdoor air flow and pressure drop. Compressor is used the scroll-type compressor which has many merits such as high efficiency, low noise and vibration, and small in size. Short-tube is included as an expansion device. Vapour and liquid line are also considered for the performance analysis of refrigeration system. Using the modeling of various components of refrigeration system, a performance comparison of CFC-12 and HFC-134a is performed numerically for the various outdoor air temperature and various values of short-tube diameter. As the results of this study, the refrigeration system performance decreases as the outdoor air temperature increases. And the optimum short-tube diameter based on COP is 1.37mm for this system.
