Experimental Study on the Performance Characteristics of an Injection Type Scroll Compressor

인젝션용 스크롤 압축기의 성능특성에 관한 실험적 연구

For an inverter-driven compressor, the discharge temperature increased with a rise of frequency, Therefore, it is necessary to control the discharge temperature at high frequencies in order to obtain system reliability and efficiency. This paper describes the effects of liquid injection system on the performance of an inverter-driven scroll compressor. Experiments were performed at ASHRAE-T conditions. Frequency was altered from 45 to 105Hz. As results of the present work, the refrigerant discharge temperature fur the injection system was dropped approximately $10{\sim}20^{\circ}C$ as compared to those for the non-injection system. The COP of the compressor was improved approximately $0.8{\sim}9.3%$ at high frequencies(75, 90, and 105 Hz).
