| description | A combined numerical-experiment investigation on the flow and acoustic field of an electronic expansion valve (EEV) is conducted in this paper. In an electronic expansion valve (EEV) under refrigeration condition, it is usually complex about internal flow. There are high pressure gradient and velocity gradient in the flow field, and it also involves the process of flashing phase change, physical property change, and heat transfer, which is difficult to simulate directly. After many explorations in this paper, the flow field of EEV under refrigeration condition is simulated by a four-step computational fluid dynamics (CFD). On this basis, the noise of EEV which is induced by the internal turbulent flow and propagates outward through the shell of EEV is simulated by a Hybrid Method. Numerical simulations of the mass flow rate (MFR) and sound pressure level (SPL) are verified by experimental data. Then, the characteristics of the internal flow field causing the external acoustic radiation are analyzed and used to create an improved design that can reduce the SPL while the MFR hardly changes. |
