Development and experiences with a hermetic CO2 compressor.

Author(s) : FAGERLI B. E.

Summary

A small hermetic piston compressor is built to compress the refrigerant carbon dioxide (CO2). The compressor is able to compress CO2 gas from 3-megapascals pressure up to 13-megapascals pressure in one stage. A performance test has been conducted in a compressor test rig which is built to test small CO2 compressors. Maximum test pressure is 14 megapascals. Experimental results have been displayed in a pressure ratio range which is typical for CO2 compressors in most applications. The compressor efficiencies recorded from the first prototype before any adjustements are promising.
