The natural refrigerant $CO_2$has attracted as an alternative refrigerant currently used in air conditioning system, which has high global warming potential. In this study, the tribological characteristics of the sliding surfaces between a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll of the scroll compressor were investigated in $CO_2$/ POE mixed environment. The pin-on-disk type sliding tests were carried out under the various sliding speeds, normal loads. surface roughness, and pressures. During the test, friction forces, wear amount and surface temperature were monitored.

스크롤 펌프는 초청정 진공 시스템에서 많이 사용되고 있지만 막상 수소 배기 특성에 대해서 잘 알려져 있지 않다 이런 정보부족은 수소를 다량 사용하는 핵융합 실험장치에서 스크롤 점프가 사용 가능한지 판단하기 어렵게 만든다 이 논문에서는 특히 수소에 대한 스크롤펌프의 배기속도, 압측비 및 역류특성을 측정하기 위해 구성한 실험장치, 측정절차와 실험결과에 대해 기술하고 논의했다.

Stirling engine is a heat engine with a high potential efficiency, multi-fuel capability, its low emission, quiet operation, very low maintenance requirement and long life. The Stirling cycle can ideally achieve optimum thermodynamic efficiency of the Carnot cycle. But the actual efficiency of practical reciprocating Stirling engine is much less than that of ideal Stirling cycle due to several mechanical limits. This paper presents a new-type Stirling engine employing the scroll mechanism superior to the reciprocating Stirling engine. The new-type Stirling engine is characterized as traits of continuous and wholly seperated compression and expansion, one-way flow, direct cooling and heating through the extensive surfaces of scroll wraps. By means of this traits, the new-type Stirling engine can achieve thermodynamic cycle closer to the ideal Stirling cycle and have many mechanical merits. Also, the new-type Stirling cycle can be applied as Stirling refrigerator and Duplex Stirling machine.

In this study, an experimental method measuring the scroll under the temperature distribution similar to the operating condition is proposed and the results are presented. Direct measurement of the actual thermal stress is very difficult because of the rapid and complex motion of the orbiting scroll. Therefore, the experimental condition is provided on the stationary scroll heated in the electric furnace and, then, the mechanical stress and the effects of refrigerant are excluded from the resulting measurement. The experimental results are compared with these of FEM, both showing good agreement.

This paper introduces a conceptual design of a combined scroll expander-compressor unit for a fuel cell. Since air discharged out of the fuel cell stack has still high pressure energy, some power can be extracted from the air by directing it to pass through an expanding device. Such extracted power can be used to drive an auxiliary compressor. For this purpose, a scroll type expander coupled to a scroll type compressor was designed for a 1kW-class fuel cell. The orbiting scroll members of the expander and the compressor were made to share three of common drive shafts installed in the mid frame plate. Performance analysis for the combined expander-compressor unit showed that the installation of this unit could reduce the auxiliary power consumption in the fuel cell by about 42%.

Three dimensional turbulent flow in the scroll volute of centrifugal compressor has been numerically investigated in this paper by solving the Navier-Stokes equations and $\kappa-\varepsilon$ equation model. The computational grid for the flow field of the scroll volute has been constructed based on the multi-block grid concept, which is good to avoid the central grid singularity as well as to promote grid stretching toward the volute wall. Numerical result has been obtained for both the two- and three- dimensions. For the latter flow, result of the scroll volute flow is compared with that of the straight conical volute. This comparison has sorted out the characteristic features of the three-dimensional scroll-type volute flow of centrifugal compressor.

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.

This paper suggests the establishment of high-accuracy and high-efficiency machining method of scroll shape workpiece by using the feed control method. The cutting paths for machining the inside and outside surfaces of the scroll-shape workpiece are calculated, and the calculation method of the cutting chip areas based on the coordinate of the base circle is shown. A feed control method is proposed for a constant cutting area and cutting force. By machining test of scroll shape workpiece, The machined accuracy of wrap, tool wear, and surface roughness are evaluated. By this method, Reduction of the machining time and large increase of the efficiency can be expected.

B.P.F.(Blade Passing Frequency) levels were measured with the cut-off clearance changes. The velocity inside the scroll, pressure fluctuation at cut-off region, and the scroll surface pressure distribution along the scroll from the cut-off to outlet were measured. With a certain cut-off clearance the improvement of efficiency and attenuation of B.P.F. noise level could be achieved. The measured results of pressure fluctuation and scroll surface pressure distribution showed that the secondary flow inside the scroll increased B.P.F. noise level at the cut-off region as the cut-off clearance got wide.

Stirling engine is a promising heat engine with a high efficiency, muti-fuel capability, low emission, quiet operation, very low maintenance and long life. As one of the promising applications, solar power system based on the Stirling dish, providing net solar-to-electric conversion efficiencies reaching 30%, can operate as stand-alone units in remote locations or can be linked together in groups to provide utility-scale power. This paper introduced a new Scroll-type Stirling engine, being developed for solar power, superior to conventional Stirling engines. The Scroll-type Stirling engine is characterized as traits of continuous and wholly separated compression and expansion; one-way flow system; direct cooling and heating the fluid in the working spaces through the extensive inner surfaces of scroll wraps. All theses traits contribute to achieving thermodynamic cycle closer to the ideal Stirling cycle (exactly speaking, Ericsson cycle).
