【 摘 要 】

The leakage loss in a novel double-swing vane compressor (DSVC) for use in electric vehicle air conditioning systems is theoretically analysed. The leakage flow through the radial clearance between the rotor and cylinder in the DSVC is modelled by considering both the section change of the leakage channel and the viscous friction of the working fluid. Under the same operating conditions and dimensions, the radial leakage loss of DSVC is more than that of the swing vane compressor (SVC) with a single swing vane. However, the theoretical suction volume of the DSVC is larger than that of the SVC. The relative volumetric leakage loss is almost equal to that of the SVC, which indicates that compared to the SVC, the effects of the structural changes of the DSVC on the volumetric efficiency is neglectable. Considering the larger work capacity and higher mechanical performance of the DSVC, it is suggested that the DSVC is a better choice for the electric vehicle air conditioning system.
