Different types of refrigerant Compressors
In HVAC systems, there are several types of refrigerant compressors: Reciprocating Compressors: - Use a piston-cylinder mechanism. - Common in smaller HVAC units. - Suited for moderate capacity requirements. Scroll Compressors: - Operate with a spiral or scroll-shaped mechanism. - Efficient and relatively quiet. - Often used in residential and light commercial systems. Rotary Compressors: - Utilize a rotary motion to compress refrigerant. - Compact and suitable for smaller systems. - Common in window air conditioners. Centrifugal Compressors: - Rely on a high-speed rotating impeller to compress refrigerant. - Efficient for...
