Description
The design of an energy-saving compressor for low back pressure applications is reviewed. Calorimeter performance results are stated for two sizes of the efficient design and compared with performance test results for a standard compressor. Power consumption of a refrigerator-freezer is given with a standard compressor and with the energy-saving compressor. The preparation of the refrigerators used in the field test is discussed, along with the criteria used in selecting the instrumentation for the project. Results of the energy-saving compressor in the field test, along with a comparison to a standard production compressor, are presented. Some conclusions are drawn, based on the data, in relation to important factors in residential refrigerator power consumption.
