Étude des performances et optimisation de la conception de nouveaux compresseurs rotatifs à palettes coulissantes à cylindre rotatif

• Novel rotating-cylinder sliding vane rotary compressors (RC-SVRCs) are promising machines in energy conversion systems due to extremely low friction. However, three-dimensional visual investigations on geometrical optimizations of RC-SVRCs are highly limited. Besides, most flow mechanisms and leakage flow affected by geometric structures have not been fully revealed yet. Therefore, the sliding vane number, gap heights at vane tips and length-to-diameter ratio are numerically studied in this work. The results show that more sliding vanes (4∼12) lead to more uniform flow and temperature fields, lower mass flow rates and outlet temperature, less leakage between rotor and rotating cylinder. The mass flow rate, leakage mL1 between rotor and cylinder and leakage mL2 at vane tip of 8-sliding-vane scheme are 2.944 × 10−2, 9.949 × 10−4 and 3.692 × 10−5 kg·s−1, respectively. Gap height at vane tips has vital effects on flow fields. As the gap increases (0.01∼0.05 mm), mass flow rate and isentropic efficiency are decreased by 12.68% and 18.26%, the outlet temperature, leakage mL1 and mL2 are increased by 91.5 K, 69.60% and 22 times, respectively. High-temperature areas and leakage flow increase with the increase of cylinder length, which is recommended no longer than 0.6 diameters. This work allows making recommendations for designing RC-SVRCs.
