Summary

The numerical simulation is frequently used to estimate experimental results in fluid flow dynamics. In this paper, we focus on increasing the efficiency of linear compressor by applying modified muffler. Furthermore, we analyze a fluid flow in a suction line of linear compressor by using a computational fluid dynamics. We assume an unsteady flow, compressible, and two dimension axis-symmetric condition. In numerical simulation models, all processes of linear compressor, i.e., compression, discharging, expansion and suction, are continuously performed. Numerical simulation results are compared with experimental data to validate an accuracy of simulation. Furthermore, we show that numerical simulation results are well converged according to time. The results present that the mass compressor efficiency increases when the pressure field in the muffler exit is highly maintained during the suction process.
