In the vapor compression refrigeration device, the compressor is one of its main components. The role of the compressor in the compression refrigeration system is to pressurize the gaseous refrigerant and then send it to the condenser for cooling and condensation. The compressor powers the operation of the refrigeration system and therefore consumes work.
There are two types of compressors used in vapor compression refrigeration systems: one is a speed type, such as a centrifugal type. The other type is the volume type. In automotive air conditioning and refrigeration systems, positive displacement compressors are currently used.
