Efficiency and reliability of reciprocating hermetic compressors are of increasing interest, due to stricter energy consumption regulations and customer demands. Optimization of bearing design is particularly important, since one of the main contributors to power loss materializes at the compressor bearings. After prolonged operation, there could be scoring, sometimes scuffing or seizure at the piston pin bearing, which results in a decrease in the efficiency and reliability of the compressor. In this study a model of elastohydrodynamic lubrication of reciprocating compressor wristpin bearing was developed along with the simulation of the slider-crank mechanism of motion. Slider-crank dynamics, wristpin elastohydrodynamic and boundary lubrication, and elastic deformations are simultaneously solved in the computation. Deformations are calculated using the wristpin compliance matrix derived from a finite element model of the wristpin. The methodology was used to understand the physics of lubrication of the small end bearing, particularly the necessity of using an elastic model versus a rigid one. The design parameters were altered to reach a superior design in terms of reduced boundary lubrication and projected wear.

Design improvement of a compressor bearing using an elastohydrodynamic lubrication model
Duyar, Mustafa; Dursunkaya, Zafer (2002-07-16)
Efficiency and reliability of reciprocating hermetic compressors are of increasing interest, due to stricter energy consumption regulations and customer demands. Optimization of bearing design is particularly important, since one of the main contributors to power loss materializes at the compressor bearings. After prolonged operation, there could be scoring, sometimes scuffing or seizure at the piston pin bearing, which results in a decrease in the efficiency and reliability of the compressor.

Condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of electrical motor drive systems
Demirel, Aykut; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
Increasing utilization of electrical machines results in an increasing demand of high reliability and safety. Especially in mission critical applications, unexpected failures of these machines may bring irrecoverable damages to the systems. Furthermore, such failures may be hazardous to human life in military or aerospace applications. One method to meet the reliability and safety requirement is introducing redundant modules to be used in case of an emergency. However, adding extra modules as substitutes in...
Design assessment of a 150 kWt CFBC Test Unit
Batu, A.; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2010-04-01)
For clean and efficient energy generation from coal, the most suitable technology known to date is 'Fluidized Bed Combustion' technology. Applications of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) combustion technology have been steadily increasing in both capacity and number over the past decade. Designs of these units have been based on the combustion tests carried out in pilot scale facilities to determine the combustion and desulfurization characteristics of coal and limestone reserves in CFB conditions. Similarly...
Performance characteristics of a cold gas thruster with real gas effects
Özden, Aysu; Aksel, M. Haluk.; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Cold gas propulsion systems are mainly used for attitude control purposes for space applications since 1960s due to their advantages in cost effectiveness, simplicity, availability, etc. It is important to investigate transient behavior of the thruster of these systems since they operate in a very short period of time, in the order of milliseconds. Both depressurization of the tank and expansion of thrusters to the vacuum, in order to obtain optimum performance in space, result into obtaining low temperatur...
Design improvements on mixed flow pumps by means of computational fluid dynamics
Özgen, Onur; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006)
The demand on high efficiency pumps leads the manufacturers to develop new design and manufacturing techniques for rotodynamic pumps. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software are started to be used during the design periods for this reason in order to validate the designs before the pumps are produced. However the integration process of CFD software into the design procedure should be made carefully in order to improve the designs. In this thesis, the CFD software is aimed to be integrated into the pump ...
