An investigation of possibilities for CO2 compression in a hermetic compressor.
Author(s) : FAGERLI B. E.
Summary
A small single cylinder hermetic reciprocating compressor is built to compress the refrigerant carbon dioxide (CO2). The design suction pressure is 3 megapascals, i.e. an evaporating temperature of -5.6 deg C and the design discharge pressure is 100 bar, i.e. a supercritical pressure. The compressor was designed to work with a maximum pressure difference of 10 megapascals. A performance test has been conducted in a compressor test rig which was built to test small CO2 compressors. The compressor test rig system is described. Some aspects regarding the choice of appropriate mineral oil lubricant for the CO2 compressor are investigated. Experimental results have been displayed in a pressure ratio range which is typical for CO2 compressors in most applications.
