A refrigeration system’s compression or pressure ratio is defined as the absolute discharge pressure divided by the absolute suction pressure. Calculating this ratio can be a big help when it comes to ...

The discharge line exiting the compressor is the hottest part of a refrigeration or air conditioning system. The compressor’s discharge line temperature can be measured by placing an insulated ...

Compressor surge occurs when flow is too low with respect to the change of pressure of the compressor or when ΔP is too high with respect to the flow. A decreasing flow coupled with an increasing ∆P, ...
