Which type of compressor used in refrigerator?
There are three main types of refrigeration compressors. The first type of refrigeration compressor is the screw compressor. Screw compressors pass the refrigerant vapor through screw spindles. Each screw spindle compresses the intake of gas. Although there are refrigeration compressors with multiple spindles, most screw compressors have just two screw spindles. The second type of refrigeration compressor is the scroll compressor. Scroll compressors achieve a lower rate of leakage and therefore are more efficient. They are the most common type of refrigeration compressors on the market. The third type of refrigeration compressor is the piston compressor. These compressors achieve high pressure levels and are mostly used for commercial purposes. Piston compressors are also known as reciprocating compressors.
