Summary

An experimental characterization of a commercial linear compressor was conducted using a hot-gas bypass test stand through its operating envelope. During all tests, the following compressor measurements were recorded: compressor mass flow rate, suction and discharge temperatures, suction and discharge pressures, intermediate pressure and temperature, and compressor power consumption. Using these measurements, the compressor performance was characterized in terms of dimensionless performance parameters. In addition, the experimental data was used to validate a proposed dynamic linear compressor model, which is discussed in a companion paper (Zhang et al., 2018), to assess the accuracy of the model and eventually identify the improvements required. To the end, the performance sensitivity studies were conducted to investigate major sources of losses, magnitude of potential performance improvements. Several conclusions were drawn for the further prototype linear compressor design.
