ABSTRACT
In rotary compressors, vibrations are comparatively
small in amplitude as they have few reciprocating
elements, and hence have been considered suitable for
lowering the noise in air conditioning equipment. It is
likely that the popularity of rolling-piston compressors
will continue to increase, and at the same tine strong
demands for reducing vibration and noise which arise
from the compressors will also rise. In this work, an
analytical method to evaluate the vibrations is
established. By theoretically analyzing dynamic
behavior of the crankshaft, the rolling piston and the
blade in Rolling-Piston Rotary Compressors, constraint
forces and sliding speed at each pair of movable machine
elements are obtained using MATLAB and MS-Excel
sheet calculations. Moreover, it is revealed that one of
major factors which cause compressor vibrations is
speed variation of the crank shaft and compressor
vibrations are not affected by rolling behavior of the
piston

INTRODUCTION

A Rotary rolling piston type compressor has a cylinder

mounted in the lower part of a hermetic shell and a
rolling piston driven by a crankshaft carried by the rotor
of an electrical motor whose stator is fixed internally to
the upper parts of the shell. The thrust bearing surface at
the pump end of the crankshaft supports the press fitted
rotor weight and accepts dynamic and static loads
associated with the shaft. An external part of the cylinder
has a radial slot that houses a slidable reciprocating
blade which defines with the cylinder and the piston
compression and a suction chamber. The hot refrigerant
gas, flow through the motor-rotor gap to the cavity
above the stator-rotor gap to the cavity above the stator

and farther-to the coils of the air conditioning unit. Dr.

Jainhua Wu [2] presented a complete dynamic analysis
of roller and vane of a rotary compressor widely used for
Air-conditioners. An approach and a set of equations are
developed estimating the type of motion at vane tip and
roller interface and calculating the frictional force in
accordance with the motion type. Imaichi, Noriak Ishil,

power for the compressor is switched off, were studied,
the authors observed that the comparatively high

theoretically analyzed using mathematical model which
consists of dynamic equation of rolling piston, equation
of force equilibrium and equation of bearing

Aizawa, Michio Yamamura [8] presents an analysis of
performance in a rolling piston type hermetic
compressor for a room air conditioner. First, influences
of several factors on compressor performance were
studied experimentally.Then heat exchange in a cylinder
was simulated in order to estimate respectively leakage
loss and heat transfer loss which were difficult to
separate from each other with the experiment. In the
simulation considering leakage of hot refrigerant gas and
oil through piston clearances and heat transfer from a
cylinder wall to gas in a cylinder, volumetric efficiency
which is one of performance index was estimated too.

PROBLEM DEFINITION

Rolling-piston rotary compressors have the advantages

of high volumetric efficiency and small mechanical loss
and they are compact and light in weight, compared to
corresponding reciprocating compressors. In rotary
compressors, moreover, vibrations are comparatively
small in amplitude as they have few reciprocating
elements, and hence have been considered suitable for
lowering the noise in air-conditioning equipment. Due to
these properties, most air-conditioning compressors
presently used in Japan are of the rolling-piston rotary
type. It is likely that the popularity of rolling-piston
compressors will continue to increase, and at the same
tine strong demands for reducing vibration and noise
which arise from the compressors will also rise. To cope
with these demands, unbalanced inertia forces due to the
motion of machine elements, and vibrations caused by
those forces have to be evaluated before a design which
reduces the revealed vibrations most effectively can be
developed. An analytical method to evaluate the
vibrations is established.

(2)
It is supposed that as shown in Fig.2. The blade center
line slightly tilts in the clockwise direction, since the
blade is pushed by the comparatively high-pressure Pc in
the compression chamber. Therefore, the blade contacts
with the cylinder at G1 and G2 points shown in the
figure. Hence, the blade surface from G1 to the contact
point Bp with the piston is pushed by the gas pressure
Pc, the surface from B2 to G2 by the gas pressure Ps in
the suction chamber and the surface from G2 to G1 by
the mean gas pressure Pd inside the closed housing.

3.1. Equation of Motion of Movable Machine

Elements
Movable machine elements in a Rolling-Piston
Compressor are the Rotating Crankshaft, the Rolling
Piston and the Reciprocating Blade. Each machine
element moves in connection with the others. The
equations of motion for moving machine element are
derived. For deriving Motion Equation we need to have
a coordinate system and variables in the system. To
reveal unbalanced inertia forces which cause the
compressor vibrations, the equations of the crankshaft
system, the piston and the blade have to be derived. For
this purpose, the orthogonal coordinate and the variables
are defined as shown in Fig.1. The x, y, z coordinate is
fixed on the cylinder. The origin coincides with the
cylinder center O, the x axis with the blade center lime
and the z-axis with the crankshaft center. The main
variables are the turning angle of the crankshaft and
the rotating angle of the piston. The distance Xv of the
blade tip center Ov and the cylinder center O and the
angle of the line OvOp are defined as ancillary

Since it is considered that the frictional state at the
blade-cylinder pair and the blade-piston pair is under the
boundary lubrication, the frictional forces Fgt1, Fgt2,

Fig.4.shows the forces and the moment exerted on the

piston. The point Ap shows the position of the minimum
clearance between the piston and the cylinder wall. The
blade and the point Ap divide the cylinder into the
compression chamber and the suction one. The resultant
gas force Fp exerted on the piston is given by the
following equation

The direction of Fp is perpendicular to the line ApBp

and passes the piston center Op. The forces Fvn and Fvt
given by (13) exert on the contact point Bp with the
blade, in the directions shown in the figure respectively.
The gap of the piston and the crankpin is lubricated by
the oil pump, and so it is considered that the frictional
state at this gap is evaluated by Sommerfelds
lubrication theory of journal bearing [5]. Hence, the
frictional moment exerted on the inside surface of the
piston is given by the following form.

Furthermore, the resultant Fen of the oil film force exerts

passes the piston center Op and is expressed by the
turning angle from the X-axis- Considering that
Reynolds lubrication theory of plane bearing [6] is
applicable to the refrigerant flow near the point Ap, the

As shown in Fig.5, the motor torque Mm exerts on the

crankshaft in the counterclockwise direction. On the
other hand, the oil film force Fen exerts on the crank-pin
in the direction shown in the figure, and the frictional
moment Mp given by (16) exerts in the clockwise
direction, provided that the Sommerfeld variable of the
oil film takes a fairly large value. The constraint forces
Fgx and Fgy exerts on the crankshaft center. From the
equilibrium equations of the forces exerted on the
crankshaft, Fgx and Fgy are given by the following
forms.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

4.1 Rotary Behavior of the Crankshaft

The rotary behavior of the crankshaft is obtained for 180
time-steps (chosen based on the natural time period of
the compressor) by numerical solution method for one
revolution. Fig.6 to Fig.8 have been plotted for the
angular displacement, angular velocity, and the angular
acceleration of the crankshaft against the time for one
revolution. TABLE1 shows the Fluctuating values of
angular velocity, and the angular acceleration of the

crankshaft. The crankshaft speed fluctuates from

371.8 rad/s to 343.9 rad/s, and hence the speed variation

is about 7.8 %. The angular acceleration fluctuates

from -8687 rad/ s to 5480rad/ s and the fluctuating p-p

value is about 14167rad/s. The sharp peak of at the

time 2.0ms correspond well to the first peak of Pc shown
in Fig.5.2.

The second and third terms in the right hand side of the
above equation represent the moment due to the
constraint and frictional forces at the blade-piston pair,
and they contain inertia terms caused by the
reciprocating notion of the blade. Deriving the inertia
terms by making use of (11) and (13), the above
expression is arranged as follows:

from

343.9 at t= 0msec

-8687 at t=2msec

to

371.8 at t=17.5msec

5480 at t=9.8msec

obtained for 180 time-steps (chosen based on the natural

angular velocity, and the angular acceleration of the
Rolling Piston against the time for one revolution of the
piston. TABLE2 shows the Fluctuating values of

By exact analysis of the dynamic behavior of the

movable machine elements in rolling-piston rotary
compressors, a method of vibration analysis of the rotary
compressors is presented, and it is applied to a small
rolling-piston rotary compressor with a motor power of
550 W which is widely used for air-conditioners with the
refrigerating capacity of l75 Kcal/h. The conclusions
obtained in this study are as follows:
(1) The speed variation of the crankshaft is about 7.8 %
and the fluctuating peak to peak value of the rotatory
acceleration is 14167 rad/s. The fluctuating wave from
of the rotatory acceleration is closely related to that of
the gas pressure in the compression chamber.
(2) The rotatory acceleration of the piston rapidly
changed at the time t = 4.4ms and 12.1ms when the
direction of the sliding speed at the piston-blade pair
changed, and the fluctuating value reached about 14000
rad/s.
