Fundamental study of high-efficiency rolling-piston-type compressors for refrigerators.

Author(s) : KAKUDA M., KODA T., KITORA Y.

Summary

The authors have measured the performance of current compressors and estimated each loss quantitatively. Because of high compression ratios and less refrigerant flow, the losses caused by superheating the refrigerant suction gas are considerably high. The mechanical and motor loss also account for a considerable part of losses. Based on this estimation, the authors redesigned the fundamental structure of the compressor, and reduced these losses. A prototype compressor has been designed, constructed and tested. The paper describes the loss analysis, the design of prototype compressor and its test result.
