A Co-Rotating Scroll Compressor for Positive Displacement and Centrifugal Dual-Mode Operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The co-rotating mechanism is utilized for scroll vacuum pump application by one of the authors. It was found that the corotating scroll compressor is transformed to a centrifugal compressor by reducing the eccentricity between the two scrolls to zero. The authors propose a co-rotating scroll compressor which works not only as a positive displacement compressor, but also as a centrifugal one in this paper. The multiple scroll warps are used in the pump section for dynamic balance, which are similar to the impellers of centrifugal compressors. Design eccentricity r is used for the positive displacement operation, and the eccentricity is used for the centrifugal operation. The basic concept is described, and the preliminary results are shown.

This paper introduces a way of reducing the torque variation in scroll compressors. In a scroll compressor where radial compliance device such as the slider bush is used for the flank sealing, the orbiting scroll member is given the freedom of movement in the radial direction. When such an orbiting scroll member orbits around the nonorbiting scroll member whose center is offset from that of the...
متن کاملDerivation of Optimal Scroll Compressor Wrap for Minimization of Leakage Losses
The scroll wraps of a scroll compressor play a very important role in the compressor’s efficiency due to their impact on leakage and leakage irreversibilities. In this work, a short summary of the scroll compressor geometry is presented. Using the geometry of the scroll wraps, an optimal scroll wrap geometry is derived for a given set of constraints on compressor displacement, scroll wrap thick...
