Effect of Return Gas Temperature in Reciprocating
and Rotary Compressor Performance for Medium and Low Temperature Applications
in Commercial Buildings by Omar Quintero, Gustavo Mahecha and Andrés Julián Aristizábal in Crimson publishers: civil engineeringresearch journal
Energy efficiency in refrigeration and air
conditioning vapor compression systems has been focused on the development of
modulation methods allowing variation of compressor energy consumption
according to refrigeration requirements, or the use of alternative energies for
running those compression systems. However, even when a compressor comes with
frequency inverter, improper selection can lead the user to spend more energy
during low cooling loads; or force the compressor to work under conditions for
which it was not designed. Thus, the present article shows how the
determination of the return gas temperature of the compressor can affect its
performance and may vary according to the type of application. Therefore, the
operation of reciprocating and rotary compressors was simulated under the same
nominal conditions and determined its cooling effect and its compression
capacity. The results show that for the same type of compressor, differences in
system capacity are approximately constant regardless of the type of
refrigerant used in low temperature applications. The compressor capacity for
medium and low temperature systems is independent of return gas temperature
using R-22.
