Detailed analysis of the new fully enclosed compressor in the helicopter environmental control system With the changes in actual demand and technological progress, the refrigeration compressor in the helicopter environmental control system will use an integrated, lightweight, fully enclosed design to replace the use of electric motors to drive the application of refrigeration compressors and semi-hermetic compressors through belt drives. In order to ensure the normal physiological needs of aircrews and the normal operation of electronic equipment in the cabin, the helicopter needs to be equipped with a refrigeration cycle system. In particular, a large number of electronic devices are installed on modern military and civilian helicopters, which usually generate tremendous heat. At the same time, the expectations of personnel for the comfort of the helicopter cabin are also increasing. Therefore, modern high-performance helicopters have higher and higher requirements on refrigeration cycle systems. The evaporative cycle refrigeration (heat pump) method has been widely used in helicopter environmental control systems due to its high performance coefficient, small compensation loss, and no engine-induced advantages. At present, foreign helicopter evaporative cycle refrigeration products are mainly developed and produced by the American RSG company. Its heart component-the compressor, is driven by the intermediate frequency AC motor through the belt drive to drive the refrigeration compressor to achieve refrigeration. Shorts require frequent replacement, complex installation and maintenance, motors need to add additional heat dissipation systems and other defects. To this end, under the guidance of China Helicopter Design and Research Institute, Shaanxi Changling Special Equipment Co., Ltd. and Xi’an Jiaotong University have jointly developed a series of mid-frequency fully enclosed compressors with start-up and unloading functions, and the cooling capacity covers 4000W and 5000W. , 7500W (power supply three-phase AC 115V/400Hz), won the national invention patent (patent number: ZL2014 1 0198899.2), the international PCT has accepted, of which QWX-75 (refrigeration capacity 7500W) compressor obtained China in August 2017 Civil Aviation Administration PMA certification, plans to obtain the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification, and sales to the international market. The intermediate frequency hermetic compressor has the function of starting and unloading, which solves the problem of instantaneous current shock when the traditional AC compressor starts, and realizes no-load step-down start. After the start is completed, the compressor working parts are loaded, so the starting voltage of the compressor motor The maximum can be reduced to 45V, and the instantaneous starting current is effectively controlled, avoiding the current impact of the traditional AC compressor when the instantaneous starting current reaches 5 to 7 times the working current. The shells of traditional semi-hermetic compressors are connected by bolts and sealed by rubber seals. As the compressors as pressure vessels, as the seals age, they will inevitably cause the compressor's own leakage problems. The hermetic compressor inherits the advantages of a home air-conditioning compressor. The motor and the refrigerant compression mechanism are coaxially connected as a whole, which is installed in a welded and sealed enclosure without the need for rubber seals. The structure is more compact and the entire life cycle No leakage, better sealing, and no possibility of foreign matter entering. In the event of a malfunction, only the entire compressor needs to be removed and replaced during field repairs, which is very convenient for maintenance. In addition, the motor of the compressor is sealed in an aluminum casing, which has good electromagnetic compatibility performance. At the same time, the motor is cooled by refrigerant to maintain a good working temperature. The motor performance is optimized and has a longer service life. Has passed the 4500h life test assessment. At present, the compressor has been used in small batches in domestic helicopter environmental control systems such as Zhi 8, AC313. Shaanxi Changling Special Equipment Co., Ltd. and Xi’an Jiaotong University are jointly developing a stepless speed control inverter airborne fully enclosed compressor, with a speed of 0 ~ 12000r/min adjustable, which will accumulate strength for the helicopter environmental control system again.
