A Study of Vibration Reduction of Rolling Piston Type Rotary Compressor

Abstract

In general,the vibration of rolling piston type rotary compressors is greater than that of reciprocating compressors because the compressor-motor unit is fixed to the shell. It is therefore necessary that refrigerators utilizing rotary compressors incorporated a vibration-proof design. This paper refers to the experimental vibration reduction study of rotary compressors (horizontally installed) for household refrigerators and other appliances. The vibration of rotary compressors consists of the rotational vibration caused by the speed variation of the shaft and of the imbalance vibration caused by the mass imbalance in the rotation system. There are various methods for reducing the rotational vibration. This study researched the dynamic damper. It will be shown that the dynamic damper,using a helical extension spring applied to the outside of the shell,is effective in reducing vibration. In regards to the imbalance vibration,this paper researched the influence of the number of correction planes and the accuracy of the balancing.
