AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION INTO HEAT TRANSFER TO THE SUCTION GAS IN A LOW-SIDE HERMETIC REFRIGERATION COMPRESSOR.

Author(s) : MEYER W. A., THOMPSON H. D.

Summary

A COMMERCIAL, 1/3 HORSEPOWER (250 WATTS), LOW-SIDE, RECIPROCATING, HERMETIC COMPRESSOR WAS INSTRUMENTED INTERNALLY WITH THERMOCOUPLES AND PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS. REFRIGERANT FLOW RATES AND POWER CONSUMPTION WERE ALSO MEASURED. INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTIONS DUE TO GAS CIRCULATION INSIDE THE COMPRESSOR SHELL, HEAT TRANSFER TO THE GAS IN THE SUCTION MUFFLER, AND HEAT TRANSFER TO THE GAS IN THE SUCTION PLENUM WERE MEASURED. QUANTITATIVE RESULTS DESCRIBING THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES IN THE SUCTION PASSAGE ARE PRESENTED. IN ADDITION, THE EFFECT OF SUCTION PASSAGE CONFIGURATION ON SUCTION GAS HEATING WAS INVESTIGATED. FINALLY, THE EFFECT OF SUCTION GAS TEMPERATURE ON SPECIFIC POWER CONSUMPTION FOR THE VARIOUS CONFIGURATIONS IS PRESENTED.
