Linear cyclic systems (LCS's) are a class of systems whose dynamic behavior changes periodically. Such a cyclic behavior is ubiquitous in systems with fundamentally repetitive motion. Yet, the knowledge of the noise and vibration transmission paths in LCS's is quite limited due to the time-varying nature of their dynamics. The first part of this two-part paper derives a generic expression that describes how the noise and/or vibration are transmitted between two (or multiple) points in the LCS's. In Part II, experimental validation of the theoretical development of Part I is provided. The noise and vibration transmission paths of the scroll and rotary compressors (two typical LCS's) are examined to show that the LCS's indeed generate a series of amplitude modulated input signals at the output, where the carrier frequencies are harmonic multiples of the LCS' fundamental frequency. The criterion proposed in Part I to determine how well a given LCS can be approximated as a linear time-invariant systems (LTIS) is applied to the noise and vibration transmission paths of the two compressors. Furthermore, the implications of the experimental validations/applications are discussed in order to assess the applicability of the noise/vibration source and transmission path identification techniques based on the assumption that the system under consideration is linear and time-invariant.

In this study, we presented a system to measure inside diameters of parts of compressor. This system solved problems of air micrometer and improved measurement accuracy by using linear variable differential transformer. The system was designed for production line which require accurate and reliable measuring system. And the system is easier and faster to use than air micrometer and can be applied various measuring area.

In this study, nonlinear stiffness characteristics of a discharge valve in a small hermetic compressor was considered. It was approximated, with piecewise-linearity, and cubic or quintic nonlinearity by the static load-displacement experimental results. Based on the fluid-structure interaction effects and mass flow rate, the derived 1-DOF equation of motion for the valve model was analyzed. Finally, the dynamic response of the discharge valve was studied with parameters such as the ratio of the running frequency of the compressor to the linear natural frequency of the valve.

The performance of gas turbine engines is affected by instabilities, like as rotating stall and/or surge. Rotating Stall is a transient intermediate stage between normal flow and complete flow breakdown leading to engine surge. Rotating Stall is associated with large amplitude nonaxisymmetric flow variations rotating around the compressor annulus. This paper presents the evolutions of stall propagation in a compressor cascade by numerical analysis. The flow phenomena due to stall cells and propagation speed are examined using 2 dimensional Navier - Stokes equations.

The Stirling cryocooler with helium refrigerant has been widely used for the cooling of the infrared detector, and the alternatives of the helium in the Stirling cryocooler are nitrogen and hydrogen gas. In this study, the performance experiment of the small FPFD(Free Piston and Free Piston) type Stirling cooler and the moving coil type, dual acting linear compressor was performed when the nitrogen and helium is used for the working fluid The results show that the nitrogen refrigerant has small cooling capacity compared with the helium, but the performance characteristics of the linear compressor does not greatly changed.

A free piston and free displacer (FPFD) Stirling cryocooler for cooling infrared and cryo-sensor is currently under development at korea Institute of Machinery & Materials. The FPFD Stirling cryocooler consists of two compressor pistons driven by linear motors which make pressure waves and a pneumatically driven displacer piston with regenerator. It is the most suitable design for a mechanical cryocooler utilized in night vision environment In this study, performance test of the Stirling cryocooler with different length of the split tube and operating frequency were performed to get characteristics of the cryocooler.

This paper presents manufacturing process and test results in the optimum pressure and operating frequency for the free piston free displacer(FPFD) Stirling cryocooler designed and manufactured by Korea Institute of Machinery &Materials (KIMM). FPFD Stirling cryocooler is currently under development uses opposed linear motors to drive opposed pistons . The performance of FPFD Stirling cryocooler is evaluated as a function fo charging pressure and operating frequency. In general as the operating frequency of the compressor is increaed but natural frequency of the displacer is almost constant. The prototype has achieved no load temperature of 49K and cooling capacity of 0.5W at 7.2K.

A free piston and free displacer (FPFD) Stirling cryocooler has been widely used for the cooling infrared and cryo-sensor. The thermodynamic performance of the free piston and free displacer type (FPFD) Stirling cryocooler is highly dependent on the operating frequency of the linear compressor and the natural frequency of the displacer. In this study, to find optimal relation between operating and natural frequency of the displacer the dynamic characteristics of the displacer in the expansion space of the Stirling cooler was investigated by experiment. The experimental results show that the Stifling cryocooler has maximum cooling capacity at the operating frequency of about 0.8 times of the natural frequency of displacer. Therefore the operating frequency of the Stirring cryocooler should be determined by natural frequency of the linear compressor and displacer.
