CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT THE LEAKAGE THROUGH THE MINIMAL CLEARANCE IN A ROLLING PISTON COMPRESSOR.

Author(s) : COSTA C. M. F. N., FERREIRA R. T. S., PRATA A. T.

Summary

THE LEAKAGE THROUGH THE MINIMAL CLEARANCE BETWEEN ROLLER AND CYLINDER WALL IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT MASS LOSS OF A ROLLING PISTON ROTARY COMPRESSOR, AND MOSTLY CONTROLS ITS VOLUMETRIC EFFICIENCY. THE PAPER STUDIES THE LEAKAGE USING BENCH TESTS TO ESTABLISH ITS FLOW PATTERN IN ACTUAL COMPRESSOR OPERATING CONDITIONS. A STROBOSCOPE AND VIDEO TECHNIQUE IS USED TO RECORD THE FLOW PATTERN OF THE LEAKAGE. THE INFLUENCE OF THE OIL IN THE LEAKAGE OF GAS IS SHOWN.
