SEMINAR ON FRICTIONLESS COMPRESSOR

TECHNOLOGY- MECHANICAL SEMINAR TOPIC

Abstract:A new compressor technology introduced in international Air-Conditioning,

Heating, Refrigerating, Exposition (AHR Expo).This technology is designed and
optimized take full advantage of magnetic bearing technology,the compressor was
awarded the rst AHR Expo innovation award in energy category.traditional
centrifugal compressors use roller bearings and hydrodynamic bearings,both of
which consume power and require oil and a lubrication system.By using this
system we can prevent the lubrication of the bearings and the maintenance cost
and pollution decreases.

Introduction:
Traditional centrifugal compressors use roller bearings and hydrodynamic
bearings, both of which consume power and require oil and lubrication system.
This can be overcome by the introduction of new compressor technology called
frictionless compressor technology.
The frictionless compressor technology is compressor with the application of
magnetic bearings and permanent magnet synchronous motor. In frictionless

compressor instead of roller bearings and hydrodynamic bearings, magnetic

bearings are used. Magnetic bearings consume less power and there is no need
for oil and lubrication systems. Permanent magnet brushless synchronous motor
has permanent magnet instead of copper windings.
After 10 years of development, magnetic bearing compressors oer economic,
energy, and environmental benets. Chief among them are increased energy
eciency, the elimination of oil and oil management and considerable less weight,
noise, and vibration. This is initial mid-range package oers centrifugal
compression eciencies previously reserved for large tonnage systems only. This
compressor has high reliability, eciency, less maintenance cost and sta. With
the help of digital control system the controlling and monitoring of work is very
easy. The frictionless compressor technology makes newrevolutions in the eld of
air conditioning, refrigeration etc. Frictionless Compressor Technology is one of
the fast growing Technology in the engineering eld.

The Frictionless compressor is also the worlds rst totally Oil-Free compressor

and

Refrigeration (HVACR) industry. The variable-speed centrifugal compression and

digital electronic technologies enables the frictionless compressors (nominal 60150 ton capacity range) to achieve the highest compressor eciencies, cost
eectively, for middle-market, water-cooled, evaporative cooled and air-cooled
HVACR applications. The well-proven energy performance advantages of variablespeed centrifugal Compressors are now brought to mainstream middle-market
applications through the use of High-speed, two-stage centrifugal compression
with integral variable-speed drive. Compressor speed is reduced as the

performance through the entire operating range from 100% to 20% or below of
rated capacity.
Operations to near zero loads are achievable via an optional, digitally controlled,
load balancing valve. Centrifugal compressors tend to be more ecient than
screw or scroll Compressors, and take advantage of speed control more
eectively, but they are usually only availablein larger sizes. By using the smaller
shaft, they are able to take advantage of the centrifugal compressor technology in
a smaller size than is normally available.

What is frictionless compressor?

The frictionless compressor technology is the compressor with which
the application of the magnetic bearings & permanent magnet
synchronous motor.
In the frictionless compressor instead of the roller bearings &
hydrodynamic bearings, magnetic bearings will be use.
Magnetic bearing technology is signicantly dierent. A digitally
controlled magnetic-bearing system, consisting of both permanent
magnets and electro-magnets, replaces conventional lubricated
bearings .

Working
When the magnetic bearings are energized, the motor and impellers,
which are keyed directly to the magnetic shaft, levitate(Floating).
Permanent-magnetic bearings do the primary work, while digitally
controlled electromagnets provide the ne positioning.
As the levitated assembly moves from the center point, the
electromagnets intensity is adjusted to correct the position
