As the shaft rotates, the vanes transport around your cylinder, and the refrigerant is compelled towards the smallest space where it is compressed
Inside each air conditioner unit, there is a compressor. The compressor’s function is mainly to compress the cool refrigerant that flows in to increase your refrigerant’s temperature. The tepid vapor sits in your compressor and enters your condenser, where the refrigeration cycle begins again. Essentially, there are five different types of compressors, each working slightly differently. The first category is the reciprocating compressor, which is the most commonly used and adjustable. It utilizes a cylinder design and a piston to compress your refrigerant. The piston moves up and down within the cylinder, powered by a crankshaft and motor, creating a vacuum that sucks in the refrigerant into the cylinder. When the piston shifts back up, gas is compressed and then pushed into the condenser. The hour category is the scroll compressor, which is more reliable and efficient than the reciprocating type. It has less movable parts, with one fixed scroll that remains stationary and another moving scroll that rotates using a swing connect. When the moving scroll rotates, pockets of refrigerant between the scrolls are pushed to the center slowly, compressing your refrigerant. The screw is the sixth type. It is undoubtedly reliable and efficient for industrial use or other sites where big air needs need to be continuously cooled. It comprises many helical rotors, rotating and moving the air from your compressor intake towards the outtake. As the air moves, space becomes changingly smaller, compressing the refrigerant. The sixth category is the rotary compressor. It comprises one or more blades/vanes connected to the cylinder shaft. As the shaft rotates, the vanes transport around your cylinder, and the refrigerant is compelled towards the smallest space where it is compressed. The last category is the centrifugal compressor which is used to cool large air volumes. The refrigerant gas is pulled to the center of the impeller, where it gains velocity and is compressed when it reaches the terminal velocity at the impeller’s edge.
