Development of carbon dioxide rotary compressor.

Author(s) : DREIMAN N., BUNCH R.

Summary

A prototype hermetic rotary compressor has been developed for use with carbon dioxide as natural working fluid. The two-stage compression cycle has been employed to reduce effect of the high operating pressure usual for the compression cycle of carbon dioxide compressors. The paper presents a description of the compressor lubrication system, suction and discharge gas flow pattern, discharge valve design, results of the analytical study of the journal and thrust bearings, and some experimental test data. The modular design of the compressor elements helps to simplify assembly, reduce production costs, and improve the performance of the compressor.
