Rotary heat pump compressors are devices used in heat pump systems to compress and transfer heat from one location to another. They are a crucial component of heat pump systems, which are used for both heating and cooling purposes in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
The basic principle behind rotary heat pump compressors is the use of a rotating mechanism to compress the refrigerant gas. This mechanism is often a vane or screw, which rotates inside a cylinder to compress the gas. As the gas is compressed, its temperature and pressure increase, making it suitable for heat transfer.
