There are many combinations of the piston stroke and the cylinder bore that yield a given suction volume in the reciprocating compressors. This study presents a fundamental optimal design concept to determine the combination of the piston stroke and the cylinder bore, which maximizes the mechanical efficiency of a compact “off-set type" single-cylinder reciprocating refrigerant compressor with a given ratio of the crank arm rotating radius to the connecting rod length. First, theoretical development of the equation of motion of the rotating crankshaft is briefly presented. Secondly, computer calculations are carried out to identify the mechanical efficiency for a variety of combinations of the major parameters, thereby permitting identification of the optimal combination for maximum mechanical efficiency. Finally, parametric study which search optimal non-dimensional off-set value of the compressor is carried out.
