    Abstract

    This paper contains both a theoretical and experimental investigation of some of the fundamental characteristics of a smal variable speed hermetic reciprocating compressor intended for application in domestic refrigeration. The results of a previously published simulation model for variable speed compressors are compared with experimental results obtained in a compressor test bench. The influence of speed on compressor performance is discussed with focus on valve modelling and internal thermal phenomena. Further plans for development and validation of the model as well as experimental investigations are discussed.
