Pressure analysis in a compressor cylinder based on detached eddy simulation and dynamic mesh

摘要

Pressure pulsation has a critical importance in the design of refrigerant compressor since it acts as a noise and vibration source. For capturing the pressure pulsation and the transient flow structure, the numerical simulation based on detached eddy simulation and dynamic mesh approach was performed. Numerical results agree well with experimental data in the frequency band of 1000-2900 Hz. The results show that the vortex flows arise when the pressure disturbances propagate in the refrigerant gases and impact against the wall leading to the dramatic increase of the sound pressure level (the frequency band is about over 1800 Hz) in the cylinder and the noise radiated from compressor shell. Furthermore, we employed the numerical model to analyze the noise reduction mechanism of the muffler hole in the cylinder wall.
