Bicylindrical coordinate formulation for the leakage flow through the minimal clearance in a rolling piston compressor.

Author(s) : FERREIRA R. T. S., LILIE D. E. B., GASCHE J. L., et al.

Summary

The flow of pure lubricating oil through the minimal clearance has been calculated by solving the continuity and the full Navier-Stokes equations expressed in a bicylindrical coordinate system using the finite volume method. Precise oil flow measurements have been performed and an excellent agreement with the numerical data has been achieved. The flow of pure lubricating oil can be used to establish the upper limit for the real gas leakage through the minimal clearance and so it should be precisely calculated. The details of the experimental methods and the description of the experimental setup are presented.
