Field Testing Energy-Saving Hermetic Compressors in Residential Refrigerators

摘要

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 are 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. (ERA citation 07:057174)
