项目摘要

Project LASTEC (Laser Surface Texturing of Compressor’s Mechanical Components: Increasing Energy Efficiency by Improved TribologicalPerformance) involves innovation and optimisation of an advanced laser-based manufacturing process aimed at diminishing powerconsumption on refrigeration systems. The project is aligned with the “Energy” theme of the SENAI-SESI / Innovate UK competition,more specifically, with the topic “optimization of manufacturing processes to diminish power consumption”. Thus, the project aims atdeveloping a dry, solvent free environmentally friendly, one-step process, using flexible and efficient laser surface texturing forcompressor’s mechanical components. This will increase significantly the compressor energy efficiency, reduce its power consumptionand extend its lifespan for countless household and commercial refrigeration systems in Brazil and in the world. The laser-based processis expected to improve the tribological performance of the mechanical components by creating textures capable of reducing the frictioncoefficient (friction forces) between the compressor’s mating and reciprocating surfaces. To develop the project, EMBRACO, the globalleader in manufacturing of hermetic compressors, will join forces with the SENAI Innovation Institutes (ISI-Laser, ISI-SM and ISI-Eng.Superfícies) as well as Oxford Lasers Ltd, a 40 years old UK based company working on the design and manufacture of custom turnkeylaser micromachining systems for advanced manufacturing and R&D activities.

Project LastEC（压缩机机械组件的激光表面纹理：通过改善摩擦学性能提高能源效率）涉及创新和优化基于高级激光的制造过程，旨在减少对制冷系统的功耗。该项目与Senai-Sesi / Innovate UK竞争的“能源”主题保持一致，更具体地说，该主题是“优化制造过程以减少功耗”的主题。这样一来，该项目旨在使用灵活，高效的激光表面纹理forcompressor的机械组件来开发干燥，无溶剂对环境友好，一步的过程。这将大大提高压缩机能源效率，降低其功耗，并延长巴西和世界上无数家庭和商业制冷系统的寿命。基于激光的过程有望通过创建能够减少压缩机交配和往复式表面之间摩擦系数（摩擦力）的纹理来改善机械组件的摩擦学性能。为了开发该项目，Embraco是密封压缩机制造的全球助手，将与Senai Innovation Institutes（ISI-LASER，ISI-SM和ISI-SM和ISI-ENG.SUPERFICIES）以及Oxford Lasers Ltd以及40岁的英国大型公司的公司一起，从事定制的Turnkeylaser Microlations and Systems的制造和ROSSARMONT和RED，并驾驶了40岁的英国公司。
