What factors does the compressor's cooling speed depend on?

The compressor is the heart of the refrigeration system. Its function is to compress the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas by compressing the refrigerant, and then dissipate the heat through the condenser to cool the refrigerant into a liquid state. In the refrigeration system, the compressor's cooling speed or cooling capacity mainly depends on the following factors:

1. The displacement (or capacity) of the compressor: This refers to the volume of refrigerant that the compressor can compress per unit time, usually expressed in cubic centimeters or liters per minute (cc/min or L/min). The larger the displacement, the more refrigerant the compressor can handle per unit time in theory, thus generating greater cooling power.

2. The efficiency of the compressor: including the compression ratio and compression efficiency of the compressor. The compression ratio refers to the ratio of the pressure of the refrigerant at the inlet of the compressor to the pressure at the outlet. The compression efficiency refers to the ratio of the work done by the compressor to the input energy. The higher the efficiency, the more cooling effect can be produced with the same energy input.

3. The nature of the refrigerant: Different refrigerants have different cooling capacities and heat transfer properties, which will affect the working efficiency and cooling speed of the compressor.

4. Heat exchange capacity of the system: including the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator (refrigeration part) and the condenser (heat dissipation part). The stronger the heat exchange capacity, the higher the heat absorption and heat dissipation efficiency of the refrigerant in the system, and the faster the overall cooling speed.

If you simply increase the displacement of the compressor without considering other factors, you can theoretically get a faster cooling speed. However, in reality, the performance of the refrigeration system is also limited by other components such as the evaporator, condenser, and throttling device. Therefore, simply increasing the compressor displacement may not necessarily bring about a significant increase in the cooling speed, and the matching and optimization of the entire system must also be considered.

In practical applications, in order to ensure the stability and efficiency of the system, a compressor with a suitable displacement is usually selected according to actual needs, and through reasonable design and system debugging, an efficient cooling effect is achieved.

Well said, thanks

What could be the problem when the compressor overheats and the fridge doesn't cool?
