Development of the linear compressor for a household refrigerator.

Author(s) : LEE H. K., SONG G. Y., PARK J. S., et al.

Summary

The linear compressor has no crank mechanism and its piston is oscillated by linear motor and helical coil spring. The compressor demonstrated excellent energy efficiency for the following reasons: mechanical losses are much less than in conventional crank driven compressors; using the moving magnet type linear oscillating motor, the motor efficiency reaches more than 90%, and with simple electronics, cooling capacity could easily be modulated. This linear compressor is 20-30% more efficient than most efficient current crank driven compressors.
