Johnson Controls
Here, the focus is on screw compressors in refrigeration and the use of economizers and side loads to enhance energy efficiency. The advantages of screw compressors over reciprocating compressors are highlighted, particularly their ability to have a secondary suction port for drawing additional vapor. The economizer utilizes this port to sub-cool liquid going from the…
