Abstract

In this study, a variable swash plate compressor has been used in a vehicle to improve its fuel efficiency. To manufacture the swash plate, either SCM 435 or UNS C67300 was used. The effects of using different materials for the structural reliability of compressor have been investigated. Static analysis was carried out on swash plate A/C compressor by using commercial software ANSYS 13.0v. The results showed that the Max. stress occurred on the swash plate made of UNS C67300 was lower than that made of SCM435, which indicated that UNS C67300 is more suitable for producing the safe swash plate.
