COMPUTER SIMULATION OF THE HYDRODYNAMIC LUBRICATION IN A SINGLE-SCREW COMPRESSOR.

Author(s) : POST W., ZWAANS M.

Summary

THE HYDRODYNAMIC LUBRICATION OF THE TEETH OF THE GATEROTOR IN A SINGLE SCREW COMPRESSOR DIFFERS FROM THE WELL-KNOWN LUBRICATION OF BEARINGS. THIS DIFFERENCE CAN BE RELATED TO THE CONSTRAINED FLUID FILM GEOMETRY AND THE CONDITIONS OF THE LUBRICATION. THE CONVECTIVE FLUID INERTIA WILL AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE LUBRICATION. A SIMULATION MODEL, BASED ON THE THEORY OF LUBRICATION INCLUDING INERTIAL EFFECTS, HAS BEEN DEVELOPED. CHANGES IN DESIGN CAN BE STUDIED AND PARAMETRIC ANALYSES CAN BE MADE, RESULTING IN AN OPTIMUM DESIGN.
