Compressor Application Manual

The compressor is a very important item in the
refrigeration circuit. Its function is to circulate the
refrigerant fluid inside the circuit.
1 - Use of compressors
The choice of a compressor for certain refrigeration
equipment depends on the following factors:
1.1 - Control Device
As mentioned above, every refrigeration
system needs a control device. This may
be an expansion valve or capillary tube.
In capillary-equipped circuits, the
pressures on the suction and discharge
sides are equal when the compressor is
stopped. In this kind of circuit, the
compressor is equipped with a low
starting torque motor.
In an expansion valve circuit, however,
refrigerant only flows through the valve
when the compressor is switched on. So,
the pressure between the suction and
discharge are not equal when the
compressor is stopped. In this case, the
compressor is equipped with a high
starting torque motor.
