가정용 인버터 에어컨에 사용되는 싱글 피스톤 압축기는 가격은 저렴한 장점이 있지만, 한 회전 당 냉매를 1회 압축, 토출하므로 이에 따른 부하변동이 심해 진동이 심하다는 단점이 있다. 싱글 피스톤 압축기는 고속운전 시에는 관성에 의해 진동이 작지만, 에어컨의 효율을 높이기 위해 압축기를 저속으로 운전할 경우 진동이 심해, 소음 증대와 배관 소손의 문제점이 발생 한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 싱글 피스톤 압축기 내의 BLDC 모터가 냉매를 압축, 토출 하는 시점을 검출하여, 인버터가 부하변동을 보상하여 저속 운전 시에도 소음 및 진동을 저감하는 제어 기술을 개발하였다. 부하 토크 변동 보상 기술을 적용하여 기존 35Hz가 최저 운전 주파수였던 싱글 피스톤 압축기를 15Hz까지 낮추어 운전이 가능하므로 에어컨의 저전력 고효율 운전이 가능하다.

This study aims at evaluation of component performance of a commercial micro gas turbine by detailed measurements of various system parameters. A test facility to measure performance of a micro gas turbine was set up. Performance parameters such as turbine exit temperature, exhaust gas temperature, engine inlet temperature, compressor discharge pressure and fuel flow rate were measured. Variations in measured data and estimated performance parameters were analyzed. In addition to overall engine performance, component characteristic parameters including the turbine inlet temperature, the compressor efficiency, the turbine efficiency, the recuperator effectiveness were estimated. Behaviors of the estimated characteristic parameters with operating condition change were examined.

저용량 에어컨의 압축기에 많이 사용되는 Single rotary 방식은 하나의 피스톤만을 채용하여 가격적인 면에서 큰 이점을 가진다. 그러나, 압축기 모터가 1회전할때 마다 압축과 토출을 단 1회 거치게 되므로, 부하변동을 심하여 진동이 많이 발생하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 Single rotary를 사용하는 에어컨 제품에서는 저속에서의 운전을 회피하거나 하나의 운전점에 대한 전향보상기를 채용하여 진동을 저감시켜 왔다. 본 논문에서는 모든 운전점에서 보상이 가능하도록 압축과 토출로 인한 부하의 패턴에서 각 주파수 성분을 분석하여 자동으로 부하 토크를 보상하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 가장 영향이 큰 1차와 2차 주파수 성분의 속도 리플의 양을 FFT 하고, 그 양이 작아지는 방향으로 부하 토크를 전향 제어방식으로 인가하는 방식이다. 제안된 방식을 이용하여 저속 운전에서 진동이 저감 되는것을 실험을 통하여 보였다.

A three-dimensional computation was conducted to understand effects of the inlet boundary layer thickness on the internal flow in a low-speed axial compressor operating at the design condition($\phi=85\%$) and near stall condition($\phi=65\%$). At the design condition, the flows in the axial compressor show, independent of the inlet boundary layer thickness, similar characteristics such as the pressure distribution, size of the hub comer-stall, tip leakage flow trajectory, limiting streamlines on the blade suction surface, etc. However, as the load is increased, the hub corner-stall grows to make a large separation region at the junction of the hub and suction surface for the inlet condition with thick boundary layers at the hub and casing. Moreover, the tip leakage flow is more vortical than that observed in case of the thin inlet boundary layer and has the critical point where the trajectory of the tip leakage flow is abruptly turned into the downstream. For the inlet condition with thin boundary layers, the hub corner-stall is diminished so it is indistinguishable from the wake. The tip leakage flow leans to the leading edge more than at the design condition but has no critical point. In addition to these, the severe reverse flow, induced by both boundary layer on the blade surface and the tip leakage flow, can be found to act as the blockage of flows near the casing, resulting in heavy loss.

In this study, we perform a series of aero-thermo-mechanical analyses to predict the running-tip clearance and the effects of impeller deformation on the performance using a centrifugal compressor. During operation, the impeller deformation due to a combination of the centrifugal force, aerodynamic pressure and the thermal load results in a non-uniform tip clearance profile. For the prediction, we employ the one-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method using CFX 14.5 and ANSYS. The predicted running tip clearance shows a non-uniform profile over the entire flow passage. In particular, a significant reduction of the tip clearance height occurred at the leading and trailing edges of the impeller. Because of the reduction of the tip clearance, the tip leakage flow decreased by 19.4%. In addition, the polytrophic efficiency under operating conditions increased by 0.72%. These findings confirm that the prediction of the running tip clearance and its impact on compressor performance is an important area that requires further investigation.

This paper is to analyze and study the failure examples of refrigerant gas in automotive air conditioner. The first example, the air conditioner compressor continually operated that the refrigerant was leaked in air conditioner system. By lubrication shortage, the piston was partially sticked on cylinder of air conditioner compressor inner part. This was caused the phenomenon of engine operation trouble by load increasing with engine rpm variation during engine running. The second example, it sought the fact that the air conditioner refrigerant gas was leaked from air conditioner compressor to condenser high pressure pipe toward rear air conditioner checking with the lines of air conditioner. The third example, the refrigerant gas of air conditioner found that was leaked imperceptible from condenser inner by crack that was generated on the fins of air conditioner condenser. Therefore, the air conditioner system that maintain the air conditioner by decreasing the in-car temperature must meticulously manage to not leak the air conditioner refrigerant gas.

A multi-stage compressor (MSC) is comprised of several impellers installed in the pinion gear shaft driven by a main bull gear. In the pinion shaft, a thrust collar (TC) is installed to support the thrust load. The TC makes the lubrication system simpler in the MSC; therefore, it is widely used in similar kinds of machinery. Typically, TCs are installed on both sides of the bull gear and pressure is developed in the lubricated area by creating a taper angle on the TC and bull gear surface. In the current study, we developed a numerical analysis model to evaluate the performance of the TC considering its design parameters. We sloved the Reynolds equation using the finite element method and applied the half Sommerfeld condition to consider cavitation. Based on the pressure calculated in the lubricated area, we calculated the power loss and minimum film thickness. In addition, we calculated stiffness and damping using perturbation method. We performed parametric studies using the developed model. The results of the analysis show that the maximum pressure presents in the center area of the TC and it increases with the taper angle. The area over which pressure is developed decreases with the taper angle. The results also show that there is an optimum taper angle providing minimum power loss and maximum film thickness. Additionally, the stiffness and damping decrease with the taper angle. As the applied load increases, the power loss increases and the minimum film thickness decreases. However, the stiffness and damping increase with the applied load.

This paper proposed a speed adaptive control system with load torque observer and feed-forward compensation using neural network for air compressor system driven an induction motor. The motor receive impact load change under the influence of piston movement of up and down, and so it difficult to obtain good speed control characteristics. With real-time adjusting control gain estimated in neural network, control characteristics of motor is improved. The validity of the proposed system is confirmed through the theoretical analysis and computer simulation.

This paper presents the lubrication characteristics of a disk type wavy thrust bearing. The hydrodynamic pressure distributions in the fluid film are numerically solved the Reynolds equation and then the bearing load capacity and friction forces acting on the disk are calculated. Especially the effects of number and amplitude of the circumferential waves are investigated for tilted operating conditions. The results showed that the load capacity increases with wave amplitude and optimum wave number exists for given design conditions. Therefore the results can be applied to enhance the lubrication performance of thrust bearing adopted in the scroll compressor.
