Analysis of leakage flow through clearance on rotor face in vane compressors.

Author(s) : FUKUTA M., YANAGISAWA T., SHIMIZU T.

Summary

Performance of vane compressors used for automotive air conditioners is affected greatly by leakage which flows through a clearance between a rotor face and a sideplate. The authors analyze an instantaneous leakage flow and a time averaged one through the clearance on the rotor face under pressure boundary conditions changing periodically with rotation of the rotor. The flow field on the rotor face at each moment can be evaluated under a quasi-steady condition with an instantaneous pressure distribution on the rotor circumference. On the other hand, the average flow field on the rotor face must be analyzed under an averaged boundary condition which is an average of the pressure changing periodically on the rotor circumference.
