The industry is driving toward lowering the carbon footprint of air-conditioning and refrigeration systems through more stringent efficiency standards and lower GWP refrigerants. This is creating a strong demand from compressor manufactures to produce more data regarding the operation of the compressors without sacrificing accuracy. Adapting compressor standards and more economical test methods are needed for developing compressor performance maps. The proper assessment of the actual compressor performance in a system or unit derived from the compressor performance maps that are developed at standardized rating conditions is a key prerequisite for a successful system design and operation.
