The effect of clearance control on the performance of an oil-free linear refrigeration compressor and a comparison between using a bleed flow and a DC current bias

A moving magnet type oil-free linear compressor has been designed for applications such as electronics cooling. A control system using a solenoid operated valve was developed for DC offset and axial clearance control. Operation of the linear compressor with a fixed clearance of 0.8 mm was compared w...
