Technological advances of compressors in refrigerating machines.

Evolutions technologiques des compresseurs de machines frigorifiques.

Author(s) : SARTRE V., LALLEMAND M., CHIAFFI M.

Type of article: Article, IJR article, Review

Summary

The authors examine the limits of various compressor types: piston, screw, scroll, rotary vane, rolling piston and centrifugal. A comparison of the theoretical and practical limits of the compressors' operating ranges shows the necessity of better adaptation of the compressor type to each application. Finally, they suggest the main research focus for the development of future compressors. The new technologies should evolve towards a variable-speed operation, without lubricating oil or with refrigerant lubrication. Acoustic comfort is also an important criterion.
