An investigation of burst strength of pressure vessel for R410A rotary compressor.

Summary

The burst strength of rotary compressor pressure vessel directly affects the safety. Therefore, it is mandatory to ensure the strength of the pressure vessel. Major factors are stress concentration around the suction and discharge hole as well as its shape and thickness. Stress concentration of the pressure vessel is investigated by means of finite element analysis. Moreover, actual hydrostatic burst testing is carried out. Burst pressure can be increased by relieving the stress concentration around the suction and discharge holes.
