For the diagnosis of compressor abnormal condition in air-conditioner, AE signal which is derived from wear condition, compressed air and assembly error is analyzed experimentally. The burst and continuous type AE signal occurred by metal contact and compressed air and AE raw signal of compressors were directly acquired in production line. After extracting samples according to waveforms, Early Life Test(ELT) is conducted and classified to normal and abnormal waveform. The efficient parameters of waveform pattern are investigated in time and frequency domain and the diagnosis algorithm of air-conditioner by Neural Network estimation is suggested.

The main noise source of the BLDC rotary compressor for air conditioner was analyzed by using the measurement of noise and vibration, noise contour, and experimental modal analysis. The source is presumed to the mechanical resonance excited by the electromagnetic attractive force of the BLDC motor. To reduce the excessive noise of the BLDC rotary compressor due to the mechanical resonance, air-gap was enlarged. Its validation was conducted by the analysis of the electromagnetic attractive force which is generated by the BLDC motor. By enlarging the length of air-gap, the noise in the compressor and air conditioner was significantly improved by 2.5dB(A) and 4.5dB(A), respectively.

Vibration and Noise of air conditioner are entirely determined by compressor vibration. Compressor vibration transmitted to the enclosure of air conditioner or pipes connected compressor with heat exchanger. Enclosure generate(noise and vibration. Therefore, the analysis of compressor vibration analysis is considered significant technical issue. For the reduction of vibration of compressor, it is necessary to grasp correctly vibration transmission paths and excitation sources in the compressor shell. Because, shell ( Surface of compressor ) shows whole vibration characteristic of compressor mechanism. In this paper, vibration intensity was applied to measure vibration energy flow on the shell .From this technique, it is possible to catch the path of vibration propagation along the one cycle and the location of vibration energy sources may change with time on the shell.

Recently, a scroll compressor is widely used, because a scroll compressor features low noise, due to less pulsation of gas pressure, than that of the rotary compressor. The major source of noise in air-conditioner is a compressor. Therefore, noise reduction in a compressor is quite significant as an element technology in air-conditioner field. For a reduction of noise, the source of noise must be identified. This paper presents detailed analyzes for the major noise source (fluid-borne noise and structure-borne noise) causes in a scroll compressor, which will make possible a low noise and vibration design of a scroll compressor.

The pipes in the outdoor unit of an air conditioner are designed to reduce the vibration effect of the compressor. Three-dimensional structure of the pipe could provide various design choices and the resultant vibration characteristics of the outdoor units. A design program has been developed for an eligible parametric study of pipe design and automatic vibration analysis using commercial software, I-DEAS, and its macro. Optimal design of pipe configuration has been performed using the commercial software, iSIGHT. The optimized design shows 70 percents improvement in the vibration characteristics of the outdoor unit of an air conditioner.

The identification of connection stiffnesses of bolted structures is presented using FRT-based substructural sensitivity analysis. The substructural design sensitivity formula is derived and plugged into the optimization module of MATLAB to identify connection stiffnesses of an air-conditioner compressor or passenger Car. The air-conditioner composed of a compressor and a bracket, is analysed by using the FRT-based substructural(FBS) method to obtain FTRs an FE model is generated for the bracket, and the impact hammer test is performed for the compressor, Obtained FRTs are combined to calculate the reaction force at the connection point and the system response. By minimizing the difference between a target FRT and calculated one the connection element properties of the air-conditioner syste are identified It is shown that the proposed identification method is effective for a real problem.

The compressor is one of major noise sources in air conditioner outdoor units, especially deteriorating the sound quality. Therefore, the sound insulation materials layered with sound absorption materials are applied around compressors. In this study, the performance of the sound insulators is examined by measuring the insertion losses in power base and the effects of sound absorption materials, method of application and the shape of the insulators are also investigated. The importance of minimizing the opening is revealed well.

For successful design of component, performances of one-tank plate type evaporator, gas-liquid separation type condenser, swash plate type compressor and thermostatic expansion valve for automotive air conditioner are investigated experimentally. Heat transfer characteristics in the evaporator are examined by means of air temperature, relative humidity, air volume flow, outlet refrigerant pressure and superheat, and heat transfer characteristics in the condenser are examined by means of air temperature, air velocity and inlet refrigerant pressure. Pressure drops for both evaporator and condenser are measured arid empirical correlations are derived. Volumetric efficiencies and isentropic efficiencies for trio types of compressors with different capacity are measured and compared. Thermostatic expansion valve is tested to investigate the pressure variation according to temperature changes.

In order to investigate the cooling capacity of an air-conditioner applying a variable capacity compressor and the temperature characteristics on a condenser and an evaporator, the experiment on the operation characteristics of the air-conditioner was performed along a compressor operation ratio and an indoor/outdoor temperatures, under a cooling operation mode. The system characteristics were measured by the psychrometric calorimeter. The cooling capacity increased with decreasing the outdoor temperature and increasing the indoor temperature. Also, it increased with increasing the compressor operation ratio. The temperature of the condenser was more sensitive for the variation of the outdoor temperature and the temperature of the evaporator was more sensitive for the variation of the indoor temperature. The operation characteristics of the cycle used in this present were also analyzed by a pressure-enthalpy chart.
