Performance analysis of hermetic scroll compressors.

Summary

The paper presents a practical method of calculating hermetic scroll compressor performance, considering mechanical loss, leakage loss and heat exchange in the compressor shell. Mechanical friction losses due to fluid resistance of moving parts in the compressor, such as the balancing weight and the orbiting scroll, are considered and estimated. Heat exchange of the refrigerant gas between compressor components is calculated using a simplified thermal analysis model. The results of these calculations are compared with some measured data.
