Experimental Determination of Scroll Compressor Lubrication System Performance

A. M. Prince, E. A. Tomayko

Abstract

The performance and reliability of hermetic compressor lubrication systems are recognized as vital aspects of compressor design. Previous papers have dealt with both tbeorer::ical and experimental determination of lubrication system performance for rolling piston type rotary and for reciprocating type compressors. This paper describes a test apparatus suitable to dctennine the lubrication system operating characteristics of a scroll compressor. Test results are described and compared to predicted performance per the modeling technique described by Waser, 1986 Purdue Compressor Conference.
