Abstract

This paper evaluates the compressor performance and reliability impact by using R32 refrigerant for air conditioning (residential and commercial system); Performance and reliability impacts are compared with different popular refrigerants used in China, for example, R410A & R22 for AC. The design improvement on the scroll compressor will be discussed in order to reach required efficiency and reliability; these improvements include lubrication, internal heat management, motor design, and vapor injection technologies, etc.
