Theory and Application of Alternative Scroll Geometries
Donald Edward Lindsay, Reinhard Radermacher · Purdue e-Pubs (Purdue University System) · 2000
This paper describes the geometric properties required to form the walls of a functional scroll compressor, and a practical design procedure that has been used at the University of Maryland to generate more general scroll geometries and model their performance.It presents several examples of this technique, showing how it can be used to meet practical design challenges, optimize operating parameters, and design scrolls of different configurations, such as sloped and tapering walls, reduced turns, fitted shapes, and through drive shafts.
