Summary

Developing a thermodynamic complex part like a hermetic reciprocating compressor is an ambitious task for engineers. Even understanding all of the physical effects, which appear if implementing a new designed part e. g. the suction muffler into the existing compressor design is quite complex. Even more complex is it to develop a completely new generation of compressors. The rise of computational power and the excessive development of numerical tools for the prediction of engineering problems, gives engineers the possibility to check their considerations before building an expensive prototype. The aim of this paper is to show how the method of CFD can help to obtain faster and better results for different components of the hermetic reciprocating compressor. Results how can be used CFD are shown exemplary for the suction muffler, the discharge muffler the cylinder inflow and also for the suction valve design.
