Abstract
To study the effect of lubrication on the performance and dynamic loads of scroll compressors, a theoretical model is proposed in this paper. The model includes both thermal and dynamic analyses in which the lubrication theory is emphasized in particular. A computer simulation program is written accordingly, and the effects of different design parameters including oil flow rate, injection position, injection temperature and rotating speed are investigated. The output variables such as gas force, contact force, contact moment and thermal performance of the compressor are obtained. Some of the results are compared with experimentally measured data, and good agreements are found between the simulation results and the measured data. The applicability of the simulation program is thus verified. Analytical results from running this program can provide us valuable information on the design improvement of a scroll compressor.
