摘要
Two mechanically driven small-scale turbocompressors running on gas lubricated bearings have been theoretically designed for a 6.5 kW two-stage heat pump functioning under variable operating conditions. The novelty in the heat pump system lies in the application of oil-free turbocompressor technology and the introduction of unused heat from various secondary heat sources. Managing the heat pump operational deviations with the secondary heat is difficult for the turbocompressors. The turbocompressors can potentially exceed their operating range defined by the surge, choke and maximum rotational speed margins. Furthermore, regulating the tip-leakage flow caused by large tip-clearances in small-scale turbomachinery is challenging. This paper will guide the readers through different stages of the design process of small-scale turbocompressors subjected to different operational and design constraints. The design review and the presented methodology will help the designers make suitable parameter selections for achieving high efficiency and wide compressor operating range.
