Study of noise and structural characteristics of twin-screw air compressor based on multi-physical field coupling

Abstract

Abstract For the problems of high noise and low efficiency of twin-screw air compressor, the mutual coupling effect of noise and structure for the twin-screw air compressor is studied by using acoustic-solid coupling technology. The simulation model of acoustic-structural coupling of twin-screw air compressor is established. Combining acoustic wave theory calculation with structural characteristics, the sound pressure level distribution and structural deformation law of different tangent planes of the shell at different frequencies under external excitation are studied. The results show that when the frequency is different, the more intensive the acceleration distribution on the shell surface is, the greater the sound pressure level is. At the same frequency, as the incident pressure wave increases, the deformation on the shell also increases, and the maximum shell deformation and the maximum sound pressure level both appear around 2000 Hz. As the frequency increases, the acceleration distribution on the surface of the shell becomes more denser and the sound pressure level becomes larger.
