High-speed turbocompressors for natural fluid heat-pumps: from integrated design to digital-twin.

Luis Eric Olmedo Ocampo

Compressors for commercial and industrial heat-pumps in the 100kW-load range are currentlydominated by positive displacementmachines. In the context of refrigerant phaseouts andchanging regulations, natural refrigerants are seen as a compelling alternative ...

Scale limitations of gas bearing supported turbocompressors for vapor compression cycles

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

An analysis of single-stage centrifugal compressors supported on dynamic, gas lubricated bearings for driving vapor compression cycles suggests that the maximum feasible compressor power is limited, primarily by the bearing load capacity, in the range from ...

This paper investigates the problem of load-sharing optimization of gas compressors in the presence of uncertainty. The objective is to operate a set of compressor units in an energy-efficient way, while at the same time meeting a varying load demand. The ...

ELSEVIER SCI LTD2020

, ,

In compressor design, a convenient way to save time is to scale an existing geometry to required specifications, rather than developing a new design. The approach works well when scaling compressors of similar size at high Reynolds numbers but becomes more ...

Impact of large tip clearance ratios on the performance of a centrifugal compressor

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Markus Diehl

Ultra-compact and fast spinning turbomachinery is a key technology to increase performance of domestic heating applications and to address decentralization of power and heat as a consequence of the rise of renewable energy sources. Recently, a heat pump us ...

2019

Reduced-scale refrigeration compressors supported on gas-lubricated bearings have been identified as a key technology for domestic heat pump applications, in order to improve both the system efficiency and the reliability. Unfortunately, reduced-scale mach ...

Metal hydride compressor control device and method

Andreas Züttel, Noris André Gallandat

The present relates to a Metal hydride compressor control method for generating a variable output pressure P_desired_outPut, comprising a first step of inflowing gaseous hydrogen into a metal hydride compartment at a constant temperature and then stopping ...

Unsteady Flow Numerical Simulations on Internal Energy Dissipation for a Low-Head Centrifugal Pump at Part-Load Operating Conditions

François Avellan, Xiaoran Zhao

Dredge pumps are usually operated at part-load conditions, in which the low-solidity centrifugal impeller could experience large internal energy dissipation, related to flow separation and vortices. In this study, SST k- and SAS-SST turbulence models were ...

2019

Electrically Driven Heat Pumps (EDHPs) have been identified as a key technology to reduce the energy consumption in the domestic space heating sector. However, since EDHPs require electrical power, they face issues related to network overload at peak-time, ...

Small, High-Speed, Oil-Free Radial Turbo-compressors for Cooling Applications: Refrigerant Selection

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

Emerging energy-efficient, oil-free radial centrifugal compressors seem promising for small to mid-capacity air conditioning and refrigeration applications. Compressor design must balance trade-offs among impeller diameter, bearing type, and refrigerant se ...
