Résumé

Oil-free linear compressors adopt aerostatic bearings to avoid metal contact between the piston and cylinder. Despite the small friction in the bearing, the gas flow in the piston-cylinder clearance can generate losses that decrease the compressor efficiency. The present paper reports a model developed to evaluate such losses and their effects on the volumetric and isentropic efficiencies. The transient compressible fluid flow in the gap is simulated with a commercial code based on the finite volume method, whereas the compression cycle in the cylinder is solved with an in-house code using a lumped model formulation. The model was employed to assess the compressor performance as a function of four parameters: compressor speed, piston oscillation amplitude, pressure ratio and radial clearance, It was found that the compressor efficiency is mainly reduced when the clearance dimension and pressure ratio are increased.
