Review of refrigeration compressor development trends.

Author(s) : WURM J.

Type of article: Periodical article, Review

Summary

Over the past few years, some significant developmental efforts have been devoted to design, performance and manufacturing modifications and improvements of rotary and reciprocating positive displacement, as well as dynamic compressors. Some, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) machines, progressed to the introducing of new and mature products to the marketplace. Twin-screw compressors are making successful inroads into transport (truck and bus) systems. While single-screw machines have found their steady marketplace (particularly in large ammonia applications), it appears that the trochoidal compressors are being forgotten. Progress has been noted in compressors and applications of mixed refrigerant cycles. The market statistics indicate that, overall, the refrigerating compressor market is starting to be dominated by the rotary machines. This tendency has also been reflected in the respective orientation of R&D work, specifically related to automotive applications.
