Type of article: Article

Summary

THE ARTICLE COVERS A VERY COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY OF RECIPROCATING, SCREW AND CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS. IN PARTICULAR, TYPES OF DRIVE, OPERATION AND CONTROL ARE ANALYSED WITH RESPECT TO THE ENERGY ABSORBED FOR THE REFRIGERATION LOAD. THE RANGE OF LOAD CATERED FOR BY DIFFERENT TYPES AT PRESENT AVAILABLE IS SHOWN AND DISCUSSED. SELECTIONCRITERIA NOT STRICTLY RELATED TO ENERGY ARE ALSO MENTIONED, SUCH AS NOISE REDUCTION USING HERMETIC MOTORS, VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS AND SYSTEM OPERATING LIMITATIONS. VERY THOROUGH COMPARISONS ARE MADE BETWEEN SCREW AND CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS SHOWING THE CONTROL RANGES THAT FAVOUR EACH. D.W.H.
