Comparison between a crank-drive reciprocating compressor and a novel oil-free linear compressor

Reciprocating compressors, driven by induction motors through a crank mechanism, have been commercially used over many years for refrigeration. An oil-free linear compressor driven by a moving magnet motor was designed, for a refrigeration system with a compact heat exchanger. Measurements using nit...
