A simulation model is proposed to analyze refrigerant properties in suction,compression and discharge process in rotary compressors,and compressor performance is analyzed by the calculations and the experiments in this paper. Heat transfer coefficients between the cylinder and refrigerant both in sucking two phase and superheated gas refrigerant have been evaluated by the calculations performed under the condition of the experiments since the validity of the simulation model has been proved by the agreement of the calculation results with the experimental ones. Linear relationship of discharge and cylinder temperature to compressor frequency and suction quality has been clarified by the experimental results. Mechanisms of the compressor performance have also analyzed by the refrigerant properties in the compression mechanism calculated every angle of the rolling piston in detail.
