Summary

The Design approach of hermetic compressors for household refrigeration usually follows a sequence that considers an initial concept, normally based on existing families (goal here is incremental optimization or design itself). Those designs are then upgraded with new features aiming improvements in efficiency, sound quality or even cost reduction. Compressors usually have a cylinder head that fits discharge and suction valve. In a new and compact design for linear compressor, the suction valve is placed on the top of the piston, requiring new shapes in order to make it possible to comply with gas flow, fatigue and dynamic requirements. This article aims to present the use of an optimization procedure to develop the suction valve design for this type of compressor. The results obtained in terms of performance and reliability with the optimization process and final results in compressor are presented.
