Summary

Research on the operation of the refrigerating machine working on the Voorhees cycle which permits two-stage compression in a single-cylinder compressor has been carried out. The purpose of this research was to study the possibilities of using the Voorhees machine in a domestic refrigerator for production of refrigeration at one or two temperature levels. The domestic refrigerator for production of refrigeration at one or two temperature levels. The experiments were carried out on the basis of a small hermetic lubricated compressor with a low refrigerating capacity operating on a commonly used R12 and natural refrigerant isobutane R600a. The improved refrigerating capacity in the Voorhees cycle with isobutane makes the latter an alternative susbtitute for conventional refrigerants. Some peculiarities in the operation of a hermetic piston compressor developed specially for the Voorhees cycle. The method of optimizing the cycle parameters for one temperature refrigerating system is suggested in the paper. The research carried out proved that the optimum intermediate pressures of the Voorhees refrigerating machine producing refrigeration either at one or two temperature levels are different.
