Summary

A test system with the variable displacement compressor (VDC) for automotive air conditioning system is built to study the changing rule of piston stroke length (PSL). It is found from the experiments that the critical suction pressure where the PSL starts to decrease is less than that where the PSL starts to increase for the same PSL; between the two critical lines, a hysteresis zone is formed, within which all the steady-state points fall and there is a multiple-valued relationship between VDC parameters; and the PSL is kept invariable when the VDC parameters change within the hysteresis zone. In order to find out the reason causing the hysteresis zone and to analyze the influence of the compressor parameters on the hysteresis zone, a steady-state mathematical model of VDC is developed and verified by experimental data. The theoretical analysis indicates that the hysteresis zone is caused by the frictional forces among the moving components of VDC, and the greater the frictional forces, the broader the hysteresis zone and the larger the changing range of suction pressure. The influence of the discharge pressure and rotary speed on the hysteresis zone is that the hysteresis zone moves in the direction of the suction pressure decreasing along with the increase of the discharge pressure or rotary speed.
