Analysis and Optimization of Segregators’ Structures on Separation Efficiency

Article Preview

Abstract:

Inside segregators, such as the air compressor, refrigerant and lubricant are mixed together. It is hoped that the lubricant could be reclaimed back to continue to work when it is expelled from the compressor. But designing of some kinds of air conditioning compressors has taken no notice of that, or it has lower separation efficiency. RSM (Response Surface Methods) is put forward to optimize the structure parameters so as to improve the separation efficiency. It is a collection of mathematical and statistical techniques, by which fewer experiments are needed to obtain the relationship between its parameters and their influences. Finally, by the use of computational fluid dynamics software, the optimum structure parameters are obtained, through which the better separation efficiency is available.
