Best Answer

Compressor variable vane control regards the ability to alter a turbine's fin geometries position ranging from open to closed positions. By mechanically and pneumatically actuating (controlling) these geometries power outputs can be operator managed.

What is the working principle of a sliding vane compressor?

A rotary vane pump uses positive displacement to propel liquids. The inner rotor is offset from the outer cavity which creates an eccentric motion. The vanes are moveable which creates the difference is pressure needed to move the liquid.


Major components of chiller unit?

The most important is the compressor, but the compressor alone can not cool down the chiller so next in line is the condenser after that is some kind of liquid flow control, that can be a capillary tube or a expansion valve then the evaporator where the real cooling happen then there is the thermostat that control te temperature


What is the difference between Digital Scroll Compressor and Inverter scroll compressor?

In digital scroll compressors, the motor runs continuously at full speed, and the capacity of the compressor is adjusted by a digitally controlled mechanical unloader (slide bar) which adjusts the vertical positioning of the orbital scroll with respect to the fixed scroll thereby reducing its capacity. In inverter scroll compressors, the relative positions of the scrolls does not change, but the speed of the motor is adjusted by a variable speed drive, which adjusts the capacity. The inverter scroll compressor is more energy efficient at part load conditions than a comparable digital scroll compressor. The digital scroll compressor will more closely match a specified load, but is not as energy efficient as a comparable inverter driven compressor. Both types of compressors have associated built-in mechanisms to maintain compressor lubrication at low flow.

What is rasiprocating compressor?

A reciprocating compressor is one in which a piston or diaphragm moves in a reciprocating motion. The compressor used in the AC system of a Saturn is NOT a reciprocating compressor. It is most likely a "rotary vane" compressor.

Which component allows a satellite compressor to vary its capacity?

Variable inlet guide vanes (VIGV) are typically used in satellite compressors to allow for capacity variation. These vanes can control the airflow entering the compressor, thus adjusting the compressor's capacity.


Which method control the capacity of large centrifugal refrigerant compressor?

Capacity control in large centrifugal refrigerant compressors is typically achieved through methods such as variable inlet guide vanes, variable speed drives, and slide valves. These methods help adjust the flow of refrigerant into the compressor to modulate its capacity based on changing system requirements.
