Dynamic Simulation and Analysis of Pipes of Air Conditioners

It is essential to investigate the vibration properties of piping system in air conditioner. Finite Element Method is used to build the virtual prototype model of the air conditioner, and the dynamic responding analysis was conducted using ANSYS software. The modal analysis and harmonic response analysis was conducted for different modals and the results was compared. The simulation results showed that the vibration characteristics of modified model is better than that of the original model, thus resonance phenomenon could be avoided.
