What Is A Compressor

A compressor is a driven fluid machinery that elevates low-pressure gas to high-pressure gas, and is the heart of a refrigeration system. It sucks in low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas from the suction pipe, drives the piston to compress it through the operation of the motor, and then exhausts high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas to the exhaust pipe, providing power for the refrigeration cycle.
Thus achieving a refrigeration cycle of compression, condensation (heat release), expansion, and evaporation (heat absorption). Compressors are divided into piston compressors, screw compressors, centrifugal compressors, linear compressors, etc. The entry introduces the working principle, classification, accessories, specifications, operating requirements, production of compressors, common faults, environmental requirements, selection principles, installation conditions, and development trends of compressors.
