FINITE ELEMENT MODELLING OF COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE TUBES.

Author(s) : SEIDEL M. R., BERNHARD R. J.

Summary

DISCHARGE TUBES IN HERMETICALLY SEALED REFRIGERATION COMPRESSORS ARE OFTEN A SOURCE OF FATIGUE FAILURE. THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD CAN BE USED TO MODEL THE DISCHARGE TUBE TO HELP PREVENT SUCH FAILURES. IT PREDICTS THE DYNAMIC MOTION AND DYNAMIC STRESSES IN THE TUBE DURING COMPRESSOR OPERATION. THE RELATIVE MERITS OF DIRECT VERSUS MODAL TIME INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES ARE STUDIED SPECIFICALLY.
