Types of Compressors
There are many different types of compressors, using various refrig erants. Each type has its advantages for its particular application, and those generally used for air conditioning are of the following types:
1. Reciprocating compressors (commonly referred to as piston type). 2. Centrifugal compressors. 3. Steam jet.
Reciprocating compressors are available in a wide range of sizes and types. Any of a number of refrigerants, including dichlorodifluoromethane

CHAPTER 24. REFRIGERATION
(Fu), methyl chloride, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and sulphur dioxide jnay be used in reciprocating machines. The first of these is used exten sively in direct expansion systems of comfort air conditioning.
Compressors may be classified into two general types, (a) open type, (b) enclosed type. If the driving mechanism is external to the compressor, then the shaft must be brought out through the crankcase and a shaft seal or stuffing box must be used to prevent escape of the refrigerant. This type of compressor is known as an open-type compressor. When the driving mechanism is located within the crankcase of the compressor in such a way as to avoid the necessity of a shaft seal, the compressor is known as the completely enclosed or hermetically sealed type.
' Open type compressors may be further classified as belt driven and directly connected. A great number of direct-driven units are now. being used which generally operate at higher rotational speeds than the beltdriven type.
The present tendency is toward forced lubrication of the bearings of compressors by means of an oil pump driven from the crankshaft, although there are many splash lubricated compressors on the market. The chief advantages of the forced lubricated compressor are. that the lubrication system requires less energy for its operation than the splash type, the oil can be easily filtered before it enters the bearings, and less oil is usually required.
The compressor capacity must be selected for and matched to the maximum load for the installation on which it is to be used. Air-con ditioning loads, however, vary over a wide range, and a wide fluctuation in air conditions may result during periods of light load if on-and-off control of full compressor capacity is used. To prevent such undesirable fluctuation, several methods are employed to vary the capacity of reciprocating compressors, such as:
1. By-passing one or more cylinders, of a multicylinder compressor, from discharge to suction.
2. Rendering the suction valves of one or more cylinders of a multicylinder compressor inoperative. This is usually accomplished by depressing the suction valves.
3. Varying the speed of the compressor, usually by using variable speed or two-speed electric motors.
4. Using clearance pockets to control the quantity of refrigerant pumped.
5. Restricting the suction inlet to one or more of the cylinders of a multicylinder compressor either by an automatic modulating valve or by an on and off valve.
All of these methods, with the exception of variable speed, result in a slightly lowered overall compressor efficiency when in use, since the mechanical losses remain constant whereas the quantity of refrigerant pumped is lowered'.
Centrifugal compressors are used with very low pressure refrigerants; usually both evaporator and condenser work below atmospheric pressure.
Water and monofluorotrichloromethane (Fu) are the refrigerants com
monly used in centrifugal machines.
"
Compression of the refrigerant is accomplished by means of centrifugal force; therefore, this type of compressor is inherently suitable for large volumes of refrigerant-at low pressure differentials. Two or more stages are usually required and high speeds are necessary to obtain good efficiency.
