ABSTRACT

To improve the computing precision and efficiency of temperature field analysis in tangential clearance of scroll compressor, the ridgelet finite element method is combined with fuzzy finite element method to construct the fuzzy ridgelet finite element method of analyzing temperature field in tangential clearance. First, the related research progresses on heat transfer of scroll compressor, wavelet finite element method, and fuzzy finite element method are summarized. Second, the leakage flow model of tangential clearance in scroll compressor is studied in depth. Third, the heat transfer model of leakage flow in tangential clearance of scroll compressor is established, and then the fuzzy ridgelet finite element model is constructed, the fuzzy finite element model is transformed to the random model based on information entropy, the corresponding calculating procedure is designed. Finally, the simulation analysis is performed based on fuzzy finite element method, fuzzy Daubechies wavelet finite element method, and the fuzzy ridgelet finite element model, respectively, comparing analysis between simulation and test results shows that the fuzzy ridgelet finite element method has best computing effectiveness on temperature field analysis of tangential clearance of scroll compressor. In addition, the tangential clearance temperature of scroll compressor with and without water cooling has been analyzed based on the fuzzy ridgelet finite element method, and the results show that the water cooling system can reduce the temperature in tangential clearance greatly.
