Analytical and experimental investigation of a scroll compressor lubrication system.

Author(s) : DROST R. T., QUESADA J. F.

Summary

A typical scroll compressor lubrication system contains several elements including oil pumps, galleries, grooved and non-grooved journal bearings, etc. A model was developed to investigate the behaviour of the lubrication system as a whole. Ultimately, this model can be used to optimize key design parameters in order to maximize the system performance. A test rig was built to accurately measure the oil flow rates through a scroll compressor lubrication system so that a comparison could be made between predicted and experimental results. A summary of the analytical model and experimental verification activities is presented.
