Types of Compressors in Refrigeration Cycles

Compressors are the heart of refrigeration systems, playing a crucial role in the refrigeration cycle by compressing refrigerant and facilitating heat transfer. Several types of compressors are used in refrigeration, each with unique characteristics suited to specific applications. The primary types are reciprocating, rotary, screw, and centrifugal compressors. 1. Reciprocating Compressors: Reciprocating compressors use a piston driven by a crankshaft to compress the refrigerant. They are akin to internal combustion engines and are widely used in both domestic and commercial refrigeration due...

Compressor Floodback

Floodback occurs when liquid refrigerant returns to the compressor during the running cycle. Often a service contractor may see a compressor that failed due to floodback, but because of the severity of the damage, he may misdiagnose the problem. System-based causes of slugging and floodback may be different from each other; finding the root of the problem is essential to prevent it from happening again. There can be multiple system causes of floodback, even as basic as lack of airflow because...
