What is the function of the compressor reservoir?

Answer:

Storage of refrigerant liquid, to prevent liquid refrigerant into the compressor suction chamber, breakdown suction valve plate, causing compressor damage.
Should be called low pressure circulating liquid storage tank (device), storage of refrigerant liquid, to prevent liquid refrigerant into the compressor suction chamber, breakdown suction valve plate, that is, "liquid shock", causing compressor damageWhen the refrigerant more in the refrigeration system, refrigerant in the evaporator can not evaporate completely, so there may be liquid refrigerant and refrigerant gas mixed into the compressor, so to install a liquid storage barrel in front of a compressor (device).
The function of the compressor reservoir is gas-liquid separation, which prevents liquid shock (wet compression), but does not affect the return oil. Some contain filtration.Compressor (compressor), a driven fluid machine that promotes low-pressure gas as a high pressure gas, is the heart of a refrigeration system. It is of low temperature and low pressure refrigerant gas suction pipe from the suction, through the operation of the motor drives the piston to compress it after high temperature and high pressure refrigerant gas discharge pipe to the exhaust, to provide power for the refrigeration cycle, so as to realize the compression and condensation (exothermic), expansion and evaporation (endothermic) refrigeration cycle. Linear compressor adopts magnetic suspension principle and spiral ring hydro mechanical structure to compress gas and provide power for refrigeration. Compressor, piston compressor, screw compressor, centrifugal compressor, linear compressor, etc.. The piston compressor is usually composed of a shell, an electric motor, a cylinder, a piston, a control device (a starter and a heat protector) and a cooling system. The cooling methods include oil cooling and air cooling, and three kinds of natural cooling. The linear compressor has no shaft, no cylinder, seal and heat dissipation structure.
In general, the reservoir with high pressure accumulator and low pressure accumulator two high pressure reservoir is generally installed between the condenser and the throttling element, it has two functions: (1) when the refrigeration system in the operation process, due to the changes of working conditions or adjustment of the refrigeration system, the refrigerant is returned to the reservoir reservoir, the circulation amount of refrigerant in the stable system, the refrigerant device is in normal operating condition. (2) when a fault occurs in a part of the refrigerating plant, it is necessary to repair the refrigerant in the system by a certain operation, so as to avoid a large amount of refrigerant outflow and cause waste. The low pressure accumulator is also called the liquid separator. It is installed between the evaporator and compressor to prevent liquid from entering the compressor and cause liquid shock of the compressor.
