Geometrical optimization of the revolving vane compressor.

Author(s) : OOI K. T., TEH Y. L.

Summary

A newly designed compressor, namely revolving vane compressor, has been introduced. As compared with conventional rolling and sliding vane compressors, such a design exhibits significant mechanical benefits. This paper shows how the geometry of this compressor can be further optimized to enhance its mechanical performance. A constrained multivariable direct search optimization technique has been linked with the mathematical model to search for a set of combination of design dimensions that produces the highest COP, under preset design constraints and operational conditions. Theoretical results suggested that an increase of 4% in COP is possible. This is achieved mainly by having a thinner and longer compressor as opposed to a shorter and fatter design.
