    Abstract: The electronic expansion valve (EEV) is a critical component in air conditioners, responsible for regulating refrigerant flow rate and controlling the cooling or heating performance. However, it is also a significant source of noise. When the valve opening ratio is low, the increased flow velocity of the refrigerant can cause pressure to drop below the vapor pressure and result in a cavitation flow. This type of flow is known to produce higher levels of flow noise compared to single-phase liquid refrigerant flow. A Large Eddy Simulation is utilized to compute the internal flow of the EEV, incorporating a homogeneous mixture model to model cavitation phenomena. The structural vibration of the EEV and its inlet/outlet pipe wall is computed using high-resolution finite element methods with excitation force from internal wall pressure fluctuations. The near and far field noise radiation from the structure is calculated using finite and boundary element methods, respectively. The developed numerical methods are applied to two operating conditions: single-phase and two-phase. The results indicate that the noise radiation from the EEV is 6.5 dB higher in the cavitating flow than in the single liquid flow, closely matching the measured data. The current numerical methodology is expected to be useful in designing low-noise EEV units.

    Abstract: The compressor and fan in air conditioner outdoor unit are the core component which deter-mines noise performance as well as cooling or heating performance. Among these, the com-pressor has larger contribution to the noise of outdoor units. For high efficiency air condition-er, the size and operating speed of compressor are smaller and faster. The high-speed com-pressor causes loud noise which is complaints for the customer. Traditionally, it is well-known that the vibration of compressor and connected duct is main noise source. However, as the compressor speed increases, the refrigerant flow in the compressor discharge duct also emerged as a major noise source. To reduce the compressor noise operating at high speed, it is necessary to analyze vibrational and acoustic characteristics of compressor discharge duct. This duct noise has the two-types source: structure born noise and flow induced noise. The structure born noise is generated by the duct vibration caused by compressor movement. For the flow induced noise, the static pressure field of refrigerant flow in the duct is vibrational source. In this paper, the compressor discharge duct noise considering two mechanisms was investigated. The refrigerant flow is solved using CFD and duct vibration and noise radiation are computed by FE-BE method.
