Abstract
AbstractIn order to study the influence of structural parameters of porous gas bearing and operating parameters of linear compressor on the static and dynamic performance of porous gas bearing, based on gas lubrication theory, Darcy's law and Reynolds equation, the mathematical model and simulation model of porous gas bearing of linear compressor are derived and established. The static and dynamic characteristics of the porous gas bearing of the linear compressor are studied by using Fluent software simulation. According to the simulation results, the effects of inlet pressure, porous material thickness and gas gap on the gas consumption and bearing capacity of the porous gas bearing under different eccentricities are analyzed. The results show that the higher the inlet pressure is, the larger the gas consumption and bearing capacity; the thicker the porous material is, the smaller the gas consumption and the larger the bearing capacity, the thicker the gas gap is, the larger the gas consumption and the smaller the bearing capacity. On the basis of simulation research, considering the difficulties of processing and assembly, multi-objective optimization of porous gas bearings is carried out based on response surface methodology. Taking the bearing capacity and gas consumption as the objective functions, the intake pressure is set between 0.3 and 0.5 MPa, the thickness of porous materials is set between 3 and 5 mm, and the thickness of gas gaps is set between 10 and 20 μm. While ensuring the stable operation of the linear compressor, the optimal combination of design parameters is provided for the optimal design of gas bearings used in linear compressors.
