چکیده
A complete and advanced numerical simulation model of the thermal and fluid-dynamic performance of hermetic reciprocating compressors has been developed and is used in the optimization Electrolux compressor design. During the last few years several global experimental validations have been carried out. A detailed instrumentation of a commercial reciprocating compressor for household refrigerators has been developed to determine the average temperature distribution on the surface and the gas at different strategic points in all the compressor zones. This work is focussed on presenting a parametric study of a concrete commercial hermetic reciprocating compressor by means of the numerical simulation model, together with a detailed experimental comparison. The objective is to demonstrate how both global and detailed experimental comparison confirms the possibilities offered by these models.
