ShareExperimental performance of a semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor working with propane.
Number: pap. n. C10, 1448
Author(s) : DA RIVA E., DEL COL D., CAVALLINI A.
Summary
The experimental performance of a semi hermetic reciprocating compressor working with propane as the refrigerant is reported. Tests have been performed both with and without an internal heat exchanger between suction vapour and liquid line. The suction vapour superheating is shown to improve volumetric efficiency and, therefore, global compression efficiency. Two different hypotheses have been discussed in order to explain experimental results: the high solubility of propane on the lubricating mineral oil and the possibility of condensation on a cold spot inside the cylinder.
