Abstract

This paper presents a concise yet comprehensive overview of recent advancements in Freon compressor design, focusing on its applications in cooling and refrigeration. The study delves into several vital facets that significantly influence compressor performance. It emphasizes the crucial role of compressor geometry, refrigerant selection, lubrication systems, and control strategies in achieving optimal efficiency and operational effectiveness. Given the evolving landscape of environmental concerns and regulations, the paper also examines the challenges posed by the need to adhere to stringent guidelines for refrigerant usage. Furthermore, the article highlights emerging trends such as the integration of advanced materials, variable-speed technology, and intelligent control systems, which collectively contribute to enhancing the overall efficiency of Freon compressors. In pursuing efficient and dependable compressor designs, the paper underscores the synergy between computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and experimental validation techniques. These methods are valuable tools for accurately predicting compressor behaviour, performance, and reliability. In conclusion, this review encapsulates the ongoing endeavours in Freon compressor design, where a delicate equilibrium between performance optimization, environmental considerations, and regulatory compliance is consistently sought. As the field continues to evolve, the paper sets the stage for future innovations by synthesizing the current state of knowledge in this critical area of research.
