Development of swing compressor for alternative refrigerants.

Summary

In a rotary compressor, the authors must improve the durability of the lubrication for alternative refrigerants (hydrofluorocarbons), because by changing refrigerants there is a loss of lubricating ability. The authors improved the durability and energy performance by changing from rotary to swing structure. This improvement of lubrication can reduce sludge generation, too, and therefore reduce capillary tube clogging. In addition, the authors improved the energy performance by changing from rotary to swing structure.
