Industrial or Commercial Refrigeration Compressors

Industrial or commercial refrigeration compressors are the fundamental part of the equipment and systems responsible for supplying and satisfying the refrigeration needs of a specific space, chamber, process…
Compressors: the core of refrigeration systems
What is a refrigeration compressor?
The compressor is the main component of refrigeration equipment. its function is to compress the refrigerant gas or fluid, thus allowing pressure changes to occur in the refrigerant gas or fluid, causing it to move along the refrigerant circuit.These changes in pressure and temperature along the refrigerant circuit lead to changes in the state of the refrigerant gas or fluid as it passes through the condenser, expansion valve and evaporator. With these changes in conditions, the refrigeration process takes place in a basic refrigeration circuit. The compressor is thus responsible for the refrigerant or refrigerant fluid to run through the entire refrigeration circuit, increasing the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, causing the other elements to change state.

Compressor operation is identical in both commercial and industrial applications, the only difference between the two could be the size of the compressors used and the types of compressors depending on the refrigeration equipment selected. Similarly, the compressor power will depend on the refrigeration field, which can be commercial or industrial.
What is the function of an industrial or commercial refrigeration compressor?
• This is the component that transports the refrigerant gas through the refrigerant circuit.
• The compressor has the function of compressing the refrigerant coming in from the suction side and pushing it to high pressure and temperature.
Types of refrigeration compressors
For a correct classification of the types of compressors for both industrial and commercial refrigeration and their basic operation, we must take into account two main criteria that differentiate the type of compressor, these are its compression technology and its structure. Although in a general way the classification of compressor types is based on:
Reciprocating or piston compressors.
Rotary compressors.
