Assessment of the influence of gap wall mobility factor at calculation of leakage in working
section of a scroll compressor. Part 1
DOI: 10.25206/2588-0373-2023-7-1-9-17
The scroll type compressor is widely used in the medium capacity segment of refrigeration and air conditioning technology
including heat pumps. Today there is an active process of changing from hydrofluorocarbons to natural refrigerants
with low global warming potential. CO2, with its low critical point and correspondingly high operating pressures, is gaining
in importance. For operation with new refrigerants, the scroll compressor has to be adapted to take account of all its design
features, the most important of which are the clearances in the machine's flow area. It has to be considered that the
thermodynamic properties of carbon dioxide, different from hydrofluorocarbons, have a significant influence on the volume
and energy values of the compressor. In this case relevance consists in increase of accuracy of compressor losses
calculation and prediction of refrigeration machine characteristics. As the basic volumetric losses in the scroll compressor
are leakages of working substance in its working part, and the process of flow of medium is unsteady, their quantitative
component causes interest. The purpose of this work is to clarify the physical basis of the leakage process in the radial
clearance and the degree of influence of various  factors on it. Such analysis gives further opportunity to refine the
methodology of calculation of leakages of compressed medium, taking into account the mobility factor of gap walls.
It will raise accuracy of the received results which can serve as a base to prognosis of optimum characteristics of the
compressor, due to their approximation and will allow to optimize designing of refrigerating machines at the chosen
modes of work.

Keywords: scroll compressor, working medium leakage, unsteady flow, working gap, gap wall mobility, leakage dynamics.

The analysis of influence of temperature conditions of piston long-stroke compressor stage
on thermodynamic efficiency of a heat pump
DOI: 10.25206/2588-0373-2023-7-1-18-25
A brief overview analysis of the applicability of heat pumps in various branches of engineering and production as one
of the most energy-saving technologies is presented. The theoretical cycle of a heat pump based on a piston long-stroke
low-speed compressor stage is considered, which allows to realize the compression process in a wide range of the
polytrope index. The analysis of the relationship of the integral characteristics and energy efficiency of the heat pump
with the temperature regime of the compressor stage when using water vapor as a working fluid is performed. The
presented results of the theoretical analysis reflect the nature of the dependence of the thermal power and the
transformation coefficient of the heat pump on the polytropy index of the compression process, boiling temperature,
steam overheating at suction, the difference in condensation and boiling temperatures.

Keywords: heat pump, theoretical cycle, reciprocating compressor, water vapor, compression process, polytrope index,
boiling temperature, suction overheating, condensation temperature.

The method of calculating the lobe wall thickness of cuff cylinder piston seal
DOI: 10.25206/2588-0373-2023-7-1-26-31
The presented article describes a method for calculating the wall thickness of the lip seal lobe in the ANSYS Workbench
Mechanical software package. The main problem that designers face when choosing the wall thickness of the lobe of
cuff seals for reciprocating compressor units operating without lubrication is described. As a result of the work, the
maximum and minimum wall thickness are calculated for the materials most common in oil-free compressor units.
Antifriction materials of the Flubon and Fluvis groups containing up to 20 % carbon fibers have the smallest wall
thickness in all pressure ranges considered. At the same time, the results obtained allow us to speak about the low
efficiency of cuff seals with a maximum wall thickness at pressures below 1 MPa.

Keywords: cuff seals, sealing, antifriction material, piston compressor, contact pressure, wall thickness.

The article discusses the existing methods of cooling reciprocating compressors, where special attention is paid to
liquid systems in which the motion of the coolant is carried out not from an external pump, but due to fluctuations in gas
pressure or rarefaction. An analysis of the designs of pumpless cooling systems is carried out, advantages and
disadvantages are identified, directions for their further improvement are identified.

A technique for designing the blade systems of Francis turbine is proposed. Starting with the determination the main
parameters  of the turbine components, where it is compatible with the operation of a hydraulic turbine at a given head.
Also, the diameter of the impeller required to generate the nominal power. Then, using the realizing of the
quasi-three-dimensional approach, the shape of the blade is obtained as a first approximation for a given blade, a series
of calculations of three-dimensional single-phase and two-phase viscous flow is performed to determine the efficiency
of the turbine at different operating modes, the cavitation properties of the turbine, respectively. The critical cavitation
coefficient is determined for three operating points of hydraulic turbines. Using Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm
(MOGA), the optimization of energy and cavitation properties is carried out for three operations pointes.
The mathematical model is based on the Latin hypercube method. As a result of the optimization, a significant 
improvement in the efficiency of the hydraulic turbine has been obtained, especially at partial loads.

Keywords: Francis turbine, blade system, multi-objective genetic algorithm, mathematical model, cavitation.

stochastic effects on the elements of running equipment of a motor grader
DOI: 10.25206/2588-0373-2023-7-1-61-69
With the help of a complex simulation mathematical model of a motor grader developed in the Matlab environment, including
subsystems of vibration-protective cab supports, a vibration-protective mechanism of the operator's seat, setting stochastic
effects on the elements of running equipment when moving along a microrelief, a computational experiment is carried out,
when processing the results of which, the influence of a number of system parameters on the root-mean-square seat
acceleration deviation in the vertical direction. The variable parameters are the root mean square deviation of the vertical
coordinates of the microprofile of the supporting surface, the speed of motion of the motor grader, the size of the zone of
quasi-zero stiffness of the vibration protection mechanism of the operator's seat, the value of the increase in the spring
stiffness coefficient of the vibration protection mechanism, which sets the slope of the average section of the static power
characteristic of the vibration protection mechanism. An increase in the size of the zone of quasi-zero stiffness allows
several times to reduce the average value of the root-mean-square deviation of the seat acceleration for a set of
movements at various profile heights and speeds. Giving the middle part of the static characteristic a small slope also
allows a slight decrease in the average value of the standard deviation of the seat.

Keywords: vibration protection, vibration, seat, quasi-zero stiffness, modeling.
