Cut Section Model of Rotary Hermetic Compressor
A cut section model of a rotary hermetic compressor showing the rolling piston mechanism and vapour compression action.
Overview
The Cut Section Model of a Rotary Hermetic Compressor exposes the internal mechanism of a rolling piston (rotary) compressor widely used in split air conditioners and small refrigerators. The cut-section reveals the eccentric rotor, rolling piston, vane, suction and discharge ports, and motor assembly, clearly showing how rotation of the eccentric piston progressively compresses the refrigerant without reciprocating motion. A slow-speed motor drives the model to demonstrate the continuous rotary compression action, helping students understand why rotary compressors are quieter, more compact, and more efficient than reciprocating types for small capacity applications.
