Structural characteristics of twin-screw compressor rotor based on thermal-solid coupling method

Abstract

High-temperature gas will cause stress and deformation of the rotor during the operation of the twin-screw compressor, which will affect the structural performance of the screw rotor. Based on the CFD/CSD coupling solution technology, the method of thermal solid numerical analysis is developed. The fluid control equations are time-averaged differential equations, and the turbulence model is a two-equation Realizable -model. The thermal deformation and thermal stress of the rotor are obtained by solving the structural static equilibrium equation. The reliability of the proposed method is verified by solving the thermal deformation of the L-shaped large-diameter buried pipeline. Finally, the thermal deformation and thermal stress of the rotor under different exhaust pressures and different speeds are mainly studied. Through simulation analysis, the variation law of rotor deformation, stress and modal under different temperature fields of the compressor is obtained, which can provide a certain theoretical reference for the compressor structural design and optimization.

Vibration Characteristics Analysis of Twin-Screw Compressor Shell Based on the Fluid-Solid Coupling Method

“…The flow field simulation of the compressor is performed to solve the pressure field generated during the rotor operation in order to consider the rotor surface loading. The paper focuses on the shell vibration response under the flow field pressure and rotor binding force reaction excitation, and neglect the effect of flow field temperature on the shell, its mass and momentum conservation equations are as follows [11]:…”
