The state of compressor lubrication as measured by contact resistance during two transient tests.

Author(s) : CHAPPELL J., DROZDEK J., NEWELL T., et al.

Summary

Understanding the state of lubrication in refrigeration compressors is fundamental. The article discusses a practical method for measuring the contact resistance between the shoe and swashplate sliding contacts of a mobile air conditioning swashplate compressor. The contact resistance between the shoe and swashplate can be used to indicate the degree of metal-to-metal contact between the sliding surfaces in the compressor. The results of measurements demonstrated that the contact resistance method is a practical research and development technique and it shows surprising behaviour during oil shut off tests.
