Comparisons of rotary and scroll compressors in small air-source heat pumps for low ambient temperature
An air-source heat pump (ASHP) is an energy-saving device that utilizes energy of higher grade to move energy from a lower heat source
which is air
to a higher heat source. This article describes the concept of small-scale ASHP for low ambient temperature (input power at 1-4 kW
environment temperature down to -20℃) and its energy efficiency evaluation method. Two suitable types of fully enclosed compressors are introduced:rotary compressors and scroll compressors. The compression principles of the two compressors were compared. Through technical analysis and product research
the basic characteristics
the enhanced vapor injection (EVI) and the liquid injection technologies
the frequency conversion technology and the applicable operating conditions of the two compressors were analyzed. The characteristics of their variable compression ratio (VCR) are described. The manufacturing processes of the two compressors are compared. A comparison of applicability for the two compressors is presented.
