Summary

Studies for improving performance of the vehicle air conditioner have been becoming an important research theme to reduce fuel consumption of a vehicle because the air conditioner is applied most vehicles by the convenient device maintaining the temperature inside the vehicle and directly uses the vehicle power. In addition, since the compressor which is main part of the air-conditioner is connected to engine and operated by the engine, the compressor durability performance affects the reliability of the vehicle, so a compressor durability is also a key research subject. In this paper, the research of the oil separator in the compressor has been carried out to improve the system efficiency and to guarantee the compressor durability. The compressor circulates not only refrigerant but also oil in the system, and the Oil Circulation Ratio (O.C.R) is an important factor affecting system performance and compressor lifetime. Through this research, the basic principle of oil separation was analyzed mathematically, and optimized oil separator in the compressor has been suggested. Then its function is verified in the actual car air conditioning system.
