Tribological evaluation of rotary compressor with HFC refrigerants.

Summary

Because of the development of HFC, it is speculated that there will be some difficulties in lubrication at the sliding parts in compressors, especially at the vane tip in rotary compressors. In the paper, evaluations of lubricating effects at the vane tip and ratio of metal contact area and an examination of an optimum design of a vane were discussed. An exploitation of materials for vanes was then progressed by using adhesive energy on the materials, and improvements of scuffing and wear resistances were attempted by using composites of hard particles and ceramic coatings.
