Résumé

Simulation models are often employed for guiding compressor prototype development, particularly for novel devices like the spool compressor. The spool compressor is a novel compressor technology that can provide competitive performance for low-pressure refrigerants (like R1234ze(E)) with a compact design. A parametric study is presented to find the optimum geometric aspect ratio for five refrigerants (CO2, R134a, R454B, R468B and R1234ze(E)) and a range of cooling capacities between 1-100 RT. A pseudo-optimum geometry is explored by varying the aspect ratio, defined by the eccentricity ratio (rotor diameter to bore diameter), and the compressor L/D ratio (axial length to bore diameter), varying from 0.75-0.8 and 0.4-3, respectively. A scaling model is developed to vary the compressor geometry and ports. A spool compressor model, developed by Bradshaw and Groll (2013), is extended and by validating the model using data from 30 RT and 40 RT prototype compressors using R134a and R1234ze(E). The model is then used to predict the performance of a spool compressor with the various geometric inputs and refrigerants. The results suggest that the volumetric and isentropic efficiencies can be maximized by using an eccentricity ratio of 0.75 and L/D ratios from 1-1.5 for various displacement volumes. The results showed that the optimum isentropic efficiency increases asymtoptically from 1 to 100 RT for most working fluids and it increases linearly for CO2. Additionally, the compressor performance becomes insensitive to the aspect ratio for large compressor sizes.
