Refrigeration Compressor Industry Definition and Segments

Refrigeration is an act where heat is removed from a substance or an enclosed space to reduce the temperature giving a cooling effect. Refrigerant compressor is the basic part of refrigeration which acts as pump for the refrigerant across the system and dissipates the heat into the surrounding. It controls the circulation of refrigerant and adds pressure to the refrigerant causing it to heat up. The refrigeration performance depends on the refrigerant compressor. Refrigeration compressor can be used in domestic and commercial cooling, transportation, and food preservation.

On the basis of type, refrigeration compressor can be divided into:

• Reciprocating
• Rotary Vane
