Empirical Modeling of a Rolling-Piston Compressor Heat Pump for Predictive Control in Low-Lift Cooling by Gayeski, Nicholas, Zakula, Tea, Armstrong, Peter R., Norford, Leslie Keith

“…This is illustrated in Figure 1, which shows conventional and low-lift vapor compression cycles for refrigerant R22. A cycle with a lower condensing temperature, higher evaporating temperature, and/or slower compressor speed (the low-lift cycle) can achieve a similar (or even greater) cooling effect (the area below the evaporation process line) to that of the conventional cycle (the area inside the cycle polygon) with less compressor work. …”
