Development of a compact horizontal-type scroll compressor for alternative refrigerants.

Summary

Based on a compact horizontal-type scroll compressor that has been popular in the market since its release in 1992, the authors have developed a scroll-compressor for an alternative refrigerant, R410A, which is a mixed refrigerant of R32 and R125. R410A is inferior in lubrication performance, because of no chlorine in its composition, thus inducing a severe sliding condition in each pair of the compressor elements, compared with the present refrigerant R22. Furthermore, since the pressure is 1.5 times larger in R410A than in R22, the authors have to modify basic design factors of compressors. The paper describes the details of development of basic technologies.
