Rotary Compressors

Rotary Compressors - The rotary compressor used in HVAC applications for air conditioning and heating systems offer some of the most efficient air conditioner and heat pump systems one can find on the market.

Despite the rotary compressor being a key component of an air-source air conditioner or heat pump the efficiency offered by this compressor when used as a modulating compressor can exceed efficiency ratings of some geothermal systems.

When the compressor is coupled to an inverter and the proper inverter control system the efficiency of the air-source air conditioner or heat pump system spike to match those of some geothermal air conditioner or heat pump systems.

How Air Conditioning Works - Ever wonder how air conditioner works in a house? AC’s work by removing the heat from the space they service. An AC is simply a big refrigerator that uses the process of refrigeration to provide cooling for a building. AC’s work by using direct expansion coils or chilled water coils to absorb and move the heat from the air as air is blown across the coils.

Types of air conditioner systems that use direct expansion coils for cooling are window units, split system air conditioners, package unit air conditioners, packaged terminal air conditioners like the air conditioners used in hotels, and mini-split ductless AC’s. Essentially, an air conditioning system works by removing heat from the air.  (more…)
