Scroll compressors have excellent fundamental features such as high efficiency, high reliability, low vibration and low noise, so scroll compressors have been recently used to heat pump and automotive air conditioners. Furthermore, the development to low temperature applications such as a refrigeration unit has been taken.
In the low temperature applications, as the suction gas pressure is very low the compression ratio is very high, and as a result the discharge gas goes to very high temperature. In order to lower discharge gas temperature, refrigerant liquid has been injected into compression pockets. Further, in case of both low temperature usage and heat pump, in order to cool down the motor refrigerant liquid bypass operating system has been adopted.
We have theoretically and experimentally studied the scroll compressor behavior in case of liquid refrigerant is existed in the compession pockets. In this paper, we describe these analytical and experimental results.
