Stress and Deformation Analysis of Oil-Free Air Scroll Compressor

Abstract

Abstract This paper examined the deformation and the distribution of von-mises stress on the fixed and orbiting scroll. The stress and deformation of the scroll plate has been achieved under thermal load, structural load and thermo-static load. The full process of compression is achieved by the meshing operation of the moving and fixed scroll during the compression process of the scroll compressor. In this process, the teeth of the scrolls are mainly subjected to the combined effect of temperature and gas force resulting in stress and deformation. The performance of the scroll compressor can be affected by the high stress and deformation of the scroll, so it is important to research the scrolls under different field conditions. In this paper we presented the scrolls specification and deformation of oil-free scroll compressor. This study will enable the researcher and designers to improve the workability of the scroll compressor, resulting in a good performance prototype.
