Thermal/Structural Analysis of a Roots type Supercharger.

In this exercise, we will perform a thermal/structural analysis of a Roots type automobile supercharger.

The Roots type supercharger shown below is used to boost the intake pressure of an internal combustion engine by approximately 12-15 PSI, drastically improving the performance of the engine. The device consists of two rotor assemblies turning in opposite directions. The air is pushed around the outside of the rotors and out the bottom. Air can't leak back up through the rotors due to the close clearances between the rotors and the case. The outer surface of each rotor lobe contains a Teflon seal strip to prevent leakage. In order to reduce pulsing of the pressure, the lobes are often twisted along the rotational axis, or helically, as shown below.

The purpose of this analysis is to determine the clearance or interference of the rotor lobe seals and the case. Minimizing this clearance under start-up and operating temperatures is crucial to supercharger performance. We will do this by performing a steady state thermal analysis of the supercharger followed by a structural contact analysis.

Symmetry will be used to model only half of one rotor and 1/4 of the case. The geometry will be imported into ANSYS Professional as an existing ANSYS database to save you time.

A steady state thermal analysis will be performed. Thermal boundary conditions will consist of an elevated internal temperature convection load and an ambient temperature convection load on the exterior.

A structural analysis will follow the thermal. Loading will be thermal loads from the previous heat transfer analysis, internal pressures, and a rotational velocity on the rotor. Contact elements will be used to seat the Teflon seals in the rotor lobe slots, and to determine the clearance or rub between the rotor seals and the case.

Material Properties:

We will use three different materials for this model. The rotor is made of aluminum. The case and bearing plate are made of cast iron. The seal strips at the OD of the rotor are made of Teflon.

During the structural analysis, we will assign a rotational velocity to the model. Since centrifugal loading in ANSYS cannot be applied selectively, we will assign a zero density to the case material to prevent it from "spinning".

N. A dialog box will appear for you to select the volumes for the seals. Pick the three seals on the OD of the rotor. The hot spot for each volume as at it's geometric center. Even though some of them may be hidden from view, you can still select them by picking at their center location.

O. OK. The plot will change and color code the rotor as shown below.

Contact Definition:

We are ready to define the contact surfaces. ANSYS can automatically detect areas that are in or near contact and define contact pairs.

Define Contact Pairs:

A. Click and hold the View/Modify Contact button until the fly-out appears. Pick the Auto Create Contact button.

Error! Reference source not found.

B. ANSYS will search for surfaces that are within a certain proximity to each other when defining contact pairs. A proximity tolerance of 100 (Tight) means that surfaces must be exactly touching in order for contact to be defined. For our model, set the tolerance to 100.

C. Pick OK. ANSYS will create the contact pairs. This may take a few minutes.

Repeat this process and view all the contact pairs that were defined for you. In our model, the auto-contact feature created two extra pairs that aren't necessary. When you get to pair 9, we will delete this one. (We could have retained this pair, but it is a small feature and we want to demonstrate the delete capability).

K. With Contact Pair 9 highlighted, click the right mouse button until the delete option appears. Then pick the Delete button.

Thermal Loads Application:

We will apply two convection loads to our model. The exterior surfaces of the housing will have an ambient condition of h=10, T=70. The internal surfaces of the housing and rotor will have h=100, T=200. Since this is a complex model, it will be difficult select surfaces for the load application. We will utilize the powerful select logic in ANSYS to help us.

The procedure will be to select groups of surfaces for load application and store these as components prior to applying loads. This will save us from having to select surface groups again when we apply pressure loads during the structural analysis.

Rotor Convection Surface Selection.

A. In the Utilities menu, pick the Select button.

B. Entities.

C. Volumes.

Structural Analysis:

We are now ready to do the structural analysis. We will return to the Setup tab, convert the model from a thermal to a structural analysis, add/modify contact elements, apply thermal loads from the previous analysis, and add structural loads and BC's.

Structural Model Setup.

A. In the MTB, pick the Setup tab.

B. Change the analysis type from Thermal to Structural.

We need to review all contact surfaces again to make sure they have the appropriate behavior. We want all surfaces to behave as frictionless (no separation) except the contact between the Teflon seals and the rotor slots, which will be bonded.

Add contact.

Next we will manually add two contact pairs. These will be between the outer surfaces of the Teflon seals and the inner surface of the housing. These surfaces have a build clearance and thus were not originally created due to the tight clearance used during the auto-create step.

A. In the MTB, Change the default contact behavior from Bonded to Frictionless (No Separation).

X. Note that the rotor has displaced more than the case, and that the displacement increases from the center outward radially. This is what you would expect since it is rotating at a high velocity.

D. It may take several minutes for ANSYS to generate a report. When finished, it will be launched in your default browser. Pick the image below for a sample report.

Conclusions:

We have completed our analysis. What have we learned about the roots blower? The stresses are well below the yield stress of the materials. The radial deflection of the rotor is over 0.003 inches. What affect will this have on the performance of the blower? What can we do to reduce this deflection and hence minimize the clearances and leakage? What would happen if we made the rotors hollow? The mass would be reduced, and hence the centrifugal loading, but the stiffness would also be reduced.

A. We have completed our analysis. Exit ANSYS by picking: File >Exit.

B. Quit - No save!
