This project encompasses the modeling of a reciprocating compressor derived from a refrigerator, that was performed for the design course.
Dimensions were measured using a digital caliper, with larger or smaller components measured using alternative methods. Disassembly challenges were overcome with assistance from the Engineering workshop.
The object comprises 26 unique parts, escalating to 35 with subassemblies, totaling 46 parts. The actual assembly file includes all modeled parts.
Highlighting pivotal parts and various commands utilized in their creation or constraints in sub-assemblies. New features like Sheet Metal Model, Spline, and Sweep Along Guide were learned.
Drafting is crucial for the piston, with assigned tolerances ensuring its free movement while maintaining a leak-proof fit and precise cylindrical shape.
A FEA was conducted to simulate stress on the piston, indicating the piston's safety under specified pressure conditions.
The project necessitated creative solutions, proficiency in various NX commands, improved teamwork, and enhanced time management skills.
