The purpose of the work was to critically re-examine and investigate the evaluation of refrigerant compressors and to determine and discriminate between the factors which influence their characteristics. The objectives also included the investigation of techniques by which the characteristics can be established and the suggestion of ways in which compressor performance can be described and quantified. The particular compressor which was tested was of the reciprocating open type. Existing theories relating to the efficiency of displacement utilisation are extended to yield an overall framework in which the various influences can be described and quantified. Conventional parameters for the quantification …
