Refrigeration Compressor Type
| List Options | Option Definition | Unit of Measure | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Air cooled | Air is used to cool the compressor | None | |
| Centrifugal | A non-positive displacement compressor that depends, in part, on centrifugal forces for pressure rise. A turbocompressor. Centrifugal compressors supply the compression in water chillers cycles. | None | |
| None | None | None | |
| Not applicable | Not applicable | None | |
| Other | Other | None | |
| Reciprocating | A positive-displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. | None | |
| Screw | A positive displacement rotary compressor that produces compression with two intermeshing helical rotors. A compressor that is a component of a vapor-compression refrigerating machine and is used to draw the refrigerant vapor from the evaporator and deliver it to the condenser. | None | |
| Scroll | Positive displacement compressor in which the reduction in internal volume of the compression chamber is accomplished by an orbiting scroll (involute spiral) within a mating stationary scroll. A device for compressing air or refrigerant. | None | |
| Unknown | Unknown | None | |
| Water cooled | Water is used to cool the compressor | None |
