Characterization of thermal processes in scroll compressors.

Author(s) : WAGNER T. C., MARCHESE A. J., MCFARLIN D. J.

Summary

An experimental investigation was conducted to characterize the thermal processes in scroll compressors. Distribution of the heat generated inside the shell (absorbed by the suction gas or rejected to the surroundings) is studied in several prototype scroll compressors, operating over the full range of expected conditions. Temperature was measured at several locations both inside and on the external suface of the shell. Heat flux gauges were used to measure the heat flux on the shell and at locations inside the shell. A description of an analytical model currently under development is also presented.
