In this study, a dynamic analysis of the reciprocating compression mechanism considering viscous friction force of a piston used in small refrigeration compressors is performed. The length of cylinder in this class of compressors is shortening to diminish the frictional losses of the piston-cylinder system. So, the contacting length between piston and cylinder liner is in variable with the rotating crank angle around the BDC of the reciprocating piston. In the problem formulation of the compression mechanism dynamics, the change in bearing length of the piston and all corresponding viscous forces and moments are considered in order to determine the trajectories of piston and crankshaft. The piston orbits for viscous friction model and Coulomb friction model were used to compare the effect of the friction forces of piston on the dynamic trajectories of piston. To investigate the effect of friction force acting on the piston for the dynamic characteristics of crankshaft, comparison of the crankshaft loci is given in both viscous model and Coulomb model. Results show that the viscous friction force of piston must be considered in calculating for the accurate dynamic characteristics of the reciprocating compression mechanism.

In this study, a numerical analysis for the piston secondary dynamics of small refrigeration reciprocating compressors is performed. In general, the length of cylinder in this class of compressors is shortened to diminish the frictional losses of the piston-cylinder system. So, the contacting length between piston and cylinder wall is in variable with the rotating crank angle around the BDC of the reciprocating piston. In the problem formulation of the piston dynamics, the change in bearing length of the piston and all corresponding forces and moments are considered in order to determine the piston trajectory, velocity and acceleration at each step. A Newton-Raphson procedure was employed in solving the secondary dynamic equations of the piston. The developed computer program can be used to calculate the entire piston trajectory and the hydrodynamic force and moment as functions of crank angle under compressor running conditions. The results explored the effects of the radial clearance, lubricant viscosity, length of the cylinder wall, and pin location on the stability of the piston.

This paper presents an analysis of eccentricity ratio of rolling piston using mobility method which is a powerful tool for analyzing dynamically-loaded journal bearings with efficiency and applicability. And, we investigate influences of design parameters (discharge pressure, radial clearance, rotational velocity of shaft, and eccentricity of compressor) on bearing load and eccentricity ratio. The results show that the discharge pressure, radial clearance and rotational velocity of shaft have significant influence on eccentricity ratio, and the discharge pressure and eccentricity of compressor have influence on bearing load.

자유피스톤 스털링 엔진(Free-piston Stirling Engine, FPSE)은 석유자원 고갈로 인한 에너지 비용 상승으로 활발하게 연구되고 있는 신재생 에너지와 폐에너지 회수를 위한 핵심 에너지 변환장치로 주목받고 있다. 기존 스털링 엔진은 두 개의 피스톤과 기구부로 구성되어 열에너지를 기계동력을 변환한다. FPSE 는 기존 스털링 엔진의 단점인 기구부를 제거하고 각각의 피스톤에 스프링을 연결하여 진동 시스템으로 구성된 엔진으로서, 올바른 엔진 설계 및 운전 제어를 위하여 정교한 동역학 성능 예측이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 FPSE 의 외부 부하를 고려한 동역학 성능 예측 모델을 제시하고 선형 및 비선형 해석을 통한 성능 예측 방법론을 제시하였다. 선형 해석은 고유치 해석을 통한 근궤적 선도를 이용하여 엔진의 작동점을 예측한다. 비선형 해석은 외부 부하 감쇠의 선형항과 비선형항을 고려하여 수치적분을 통해 엔진 피스톤의 진폭을 예측한다. 이러한 동역학 성능 데이터는 엔진 출력 성능 예측에 활용된다. 또한, 본 논문의 해석 모델은 대표적인 FPSE 인 RE-1000 의 실험결과 및 기존 해석 연구들과 비교/검증하여 신뢰성을 검토하였다.

Recently, researches on the free-piston Stirling engines(FPSEs) are actively investigated. FPSEs have merits in its light weight, simple structure, and little need for maintenance, thus becoming a promising solution for the power conversion of renewable energy and waste heat recycle. This paper presents the methodology that estimates damping coefficients using analytical models of linear and nonlinear dynamics for FPSEs, and validates the methodology by comparing with existing experimental results. The analysis model predicts an operable range of linear damping coefficients forming limit cycles by using the root locus, and time responses obtained by numerical integration determines nonlinear damping coefficients. The model predictions are compared with experimental results of the well-known FPSE B-10B. We also investigate the damping characteristics regarding heater temperatures and power piston motions.
