Abstract
This tutorial discusses the design basics for refrigeration compressors, using the 2�section Propane refrigeration configuration as an example. The benefits of incorporating a flash gas Economizer are discussed, as are the various methods of controlling the performance these machines, with the pros and cons for each method analyzed. The proper antisurge control design is developed and correct recycle line arrangements are presented. A case study of incorrect recycle line arrangements for a Single Mixed Refrigeration (SMR) Compressor, and the proposed modifications, is also presented.
