Research on Friction Loss in an R290 Air Conditioner Compressor Inverter Operation
R290 is the main working fluid used in room air conditioners. It is important to study the friction-loss law for compressor-frequency conversion when using R290 as the working fluid, to quantify the correlation between friction loss and motor frequency and to improve energy efficiency and reliability. In this study, a mathematical model for calculating the friction loss of a rolling-rotor compressor was established. The effects on friction loss of the motor frequency, working conditions, lubricating-oil viscosity, and the friction coefficient of the friction pair were analyzed. For a compressor with a displacement of 9.8 cm

/r, the predicted improvement for the friction pair was experimentally verified. Adding a trace amount of specific additives reduced the friction coefficient of the refrigeration oil by 14.35%; the coefficient of performance of the variable-frequency compressor increased by 0.88%-3.80%, and the maximum relative deviation from the calculated results was less than 3.1%. The friction power of the main, auxiliary, and eccentric bearings of the compressor accounted for 41.7% of the total friction loss under low-frequency conditions and 60.9% of this loss under high-frequency conditions. The viscosity and lubrication properties of the refrigeration oil exerted different effects on different friction pairs. The friction loss of the main friction pair varied with frequency, differing notably between R290 and R32 compressors
