| compressor heating effect (heat pump) | rate of heat delivery by the refrigerant
assigned to the compressor in a heat pump system; equal to the product of the
mass rate of refrigerant flow produced by the compressor and the difference in
specific enthalpies of the refrigerant vapor at thermodynamic state leaving
the compressor and saturated liquid refrigerant at the pressure of the vapor
leaving the compressor. |
| | |
| compressor motor, sealed (hermetic type) | compressor and motor enclosed in the same
housing without external shaft or shaft seals, with the motor operating in the
refrigerant. |
| | |
| compressor oil return |
transport of oil from the evaporator to the
compressor. |
| | |
| compressor refrigerating effect | rate of heat removal by the refrigerant
assigned to the compressor in a refrigerating system. This is equal to the
product of the mass rate of refrigerant flow produced by the compressor and
the difference in specific enthalpies of the refrigerant vapor at its
thermodynamic state entering the compressor and refrigerant liquid at
saturation temperature corresponding to the pressure of the vapor leaving the
compressor |
| | |
| compressor surge |
condition achieved in a centrifugal compressor
when the momentum of the refrigerant gas through the compressor is insufficient
to overcome the thermal lift requirement. Direction of flow temporarily
reverses through the compressor until the lift requirement decreases. The
condition repeats until the operating condition is corrected. Accelerated wear
and damage can eventually result. |
| | |
| compressor theoretical displacement |
total volume swept by the working strokes of all
the pistons of a compressor per revolution of the crankshaft or per unit of
time. |
| | |
| compressor unit | a refrigerating component designed to compress
a specific refrigerant vapor, consisting of compressor, prime mover, and
regularly furnished accessories |
| | |
| compressor volume ratio | ratio of volume of
compression chamber at intake of refrigerant gases to the volume at discharge
in positive displacement compressors |
| | |
| compressor work | mechanical energy required by, or load imparted
to, the piston of a compressor or shaft of a centrifugal compressor. |
| | |
| computer based system | energy management system in which a computer is
the central controlling device. |
