Investigation into alternative compressor technologies for variable speed refrigeration applications.

Author(s) : TASSOU S. A., QURESHI T. Q.

Summary

The paper presents the results of experimental investigations into the performance of alternative refrigeration compressor technologies for variable speed capacity control. The investigations included an open-type reciprocating compressor, an open-type rotary vane compressor and a semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor operating both under constant head pressure and floating head pressure control strategies. The results indicate that all three compressors are most efficient at a maximum fixed speed corresponding to the frequency of 50 hertz. Other results are given.
