Author(s) : KIM J. K., PARK K. J., KIM K. H., et al.

Summary

The energy consumption of a refrigerator depends not only on the efficiency of compressor itself, but also on the capacity modulation. A new variable capacity reciprocating compressor is introduced, named TCM compressor, which provides a two-step capacity modulation mechanically without using any electronic frequency modulation. In the TCM compressor, the capacity modulation was achieved by changing the dead volume of cylinder through the control of eccentricity of a sleeve, which was obtained from the alternation of rotation direction of a crankshaft in both the clockwise and counterclockwise direction. A new latching system including a latching key, a spring and an eccentric sleeve was applied to the TCM compressor for the capacity modulation. In the paper, the structural reliability of the new latching system will be investigated to realize the TCM compressor.
