Refrigeration Compressors
Centrifugal Chillers are mainly water cooled chillers
Refrigeration Compressors
There are two basic different compression

Hot Gas Bypass
Hot gas bypass is a means of
recirculating hot discharge refrigerant
back into the evaporator applied at
strongly unloaded conditions (below
20%). A disadvantage is that the work
of compression on the recirculated
refrigerant does not generate any
refrigeration effect.
Careful selection of equipment size and using compressor that unload to a
very low percentage of full load capacity (10%), can avoid the need for hot
gas bypass in most HVAC applications.
Capacity Control
Inlet Guide Vanes
Inlet guide vanes are used to control
the capacity of the compressor. As the
inlet guide vanes start to close, they
change the gas entry angle to the
impeller and reduce gas flow and
compressor capacity.
