Résumé

Flow-induced noise in the expansion device can be very disturbing. The thermal expansion valve is usually positioned near the occupants, often resulting in flow-induced noise that can be perceived as annoying. Current studies lack a quantitative relationship between flow characteristics and flow-induced noise. Therefore, in this paper, a noise prediction model is proposed to predict the sound pressure level of flow-induced noise. The study utilizes a pumped R134a loop for synchronized measurements between flow-induced noise and flow regimes. Synchronized high-speed measurements obtained from a microphone and a high-speed camera enable simultaneous investigation of flow-induced noise and flow regimes. In this case, the experimental results find a gurgling noise distributing near 9 kHz. Using the TXV inlet pressure for calculating thermodynamic properties, the gurgling noise sound pressure level prediction error is less than 15%. A hissing noise distributing at around 15 kHz is not as noticeable as the gurgling noise. The error of sound pressure level prediction for hissing noise is less than 40%. Both the experimental results and the modeling results show that the sound pressure level of gurgling noise increases as the vapor mass fraction increases or the system mass flux increases. From the experimental results, the noise waveforms are distinguished. The model can correctly outline the shape of noise waveforms for different flow regimes with the help of visualizations. The model introduced in this paper shows the proper prediction for flow-induced noise except for the annular flow entering the valve.
