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.

Experiment and analytical studies on the oil supply characteristics of scroll compressor have been presented. For a scroll compressor, oil supply system consisting of individual lubricating element such as pumps, oil passages and sliding surfaces has been modeled by equivalent electric circuit. By solving the closed network equations of the model, oil flow rates at various lubrication elements could be obtained. Total amount of the oil flow rate drawn into the shaft has been measured and compared reasonably well with the prediction by the numerical simulation.

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. Recently, a scroll compressor is widely used, because a scroll compressor features lower noise, due to less pulsation of gas pressure, than that of the rotary compressor. During a past noise reduction effort on a scroll compressor, noise radiation from the discharge portion of the hermetic shell was identified as the major contributor to overall noise. For a reduction of noise, the source of noise at the discharge portion must be identified. This paper presents detailed analyzes for the discharge pressure pulsation and cavity resonance at discharge space, which will make possible a low noise design of a scroll compressor.

An application of scroll compressor to the residential air conditioning and heat pump markets has generated many reliability problem, especially abnormal noise. Most of these noise problems is due to the check valve and compliance between FS(Fixed Scroll) and OS(Orbiting Scroll). FS and OS are the main parts of scroll compressor and are the main pumping part. But check valve has the role of protection of reverse rotation of OS when power is off. Check valve have several noise problems. Among them, shut down noise and valve movement noise is more than severe than any other problem. In this paper covers with these two noise problem.

Floating fixed scroll adopted for tip sealing enhancement in a scroll compressor is always under the influence of tipping moment produced by internal gas forces. Unless the tipping moment is property compensated by some restoring moment, the fired scroll would suffer tipping movement, degrading the compressor performance. The condition on which the tipping movement of the fixed scroll can be suppressed has been investigated analytically. For no tipping movement, the floating fixed scroll should be suspended on the main frame at proper level. The upper limit of the stable suspension is the axial location of the o-rings adopted for a back pressure chamber sealing on the rear side of the fixed scroll, and the lower limit is the mid-height of the scroll wrap.

For a vertical type crankshaft-journal bearing system used in scroll compressor, nonlinear transient response analysis is applied includung nonlinear fluid film reaction forces of journal beatings. By a connected behavior analysis of crankshaft and orbiting scroll, the radial clearance of scroll wraps is calculated. Considering tangential leakage for this clearance, a coupled analysis model for leakage and dynamic behavior of the orbiting scroll is made, and analyzed by iterative calculation. By regarding clearances of main, sub bearing of crankshaft and orbiting scroll shaft bearing clearance as design parameters, the radial clearance of scroll wraps is analyzed.

This study presents a way of improving the stability of fixed scroll in scroll compressors. For the scroll compressor whose fixed scroll is designed to move in the axial direction for the axial compliance, the fixed scroll is under the influence of the overturning moment produced by internal gas forces. Unless the overturning moment is properly compensated by the moments of reaction forces at the suspension of the fixed scroll to the compressor frame, the fixed scroll would exhibit wobbling motion, increasing gas leakage through the gap induced by the wobbling of the fixed scroll between the two scroll members. The conditions on which the wobbling motion can be suppressed have been found analytically; The axial position of the fixed scroll suspension should be made within a certain range. The upper limit of this range is the axial location for the o-rings which are inserted between the fixed scroll and the back pressure chamber to promote sealing for the gas in the back pressure chamber. And the lower limit is mainly determined by the magnitude of the axial sealing force. As long as the axial sealing force is not negative over all crank angles, the lower limit is not above the mid-height of the scroll wrap. Larger axial sealing force lower the lower limit.

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.

Pressures in compression pockets consists of two identical spiral scrolls are influenced by gas flow resistance in discharge process and leakages in radial and tangential directions between two scroll wraps.

Potential application of the scroll type machine to air compressor for fuel cell has been studied. Among the seven configuration factors which determine scroll wrap profile, the wrap thickness and the orbiting radius were chosen as two independent variables to generate various scroll wrap profiles. A conceptual design practice was conducted for scroll air compressor for SOFC with power output of 2 kW. With larger wrap thickness and orbiting radius, base plate area of the orbiting scroll becomes smaller, so is the axial gas force acting on the base plate, resulting in reduced thrust loss in spite of larger friction velocity. Performance analysis on the designed model showed that its total efficiency was 64.4% with the mass flow rate per unit compressor input of 0.00905 kg/(s kW) for the wrap thickness of 3.5 mm and the orbiting radius of 3.0 mm.
