What type of compressors are used in protocol refrigeration systems?

The use of scroll compressors in protocol refrigeration systems is rooted in their efficiency and performance characteristics. Scroll compressors operate using two interleaved spiral-shaped components, which compress the refrigerant as it is drawn into the spiral pockets formed by these components. This design results in continuous compression cycles, leading to smoother operation, lower noise levels, and reduced energy consumption compared to other types of compressors.

In protocol refrigeration systems, which often require precise temperature control and reliability, the advantages of scroll compressors become particularly valuable. Their ability to operate efficiently across a range of operating conditions makes them ideal for handling varying loads commonly encountered in refrigeration applications.

While reciprocating and rotary compressors are also used in various refrigeration settings, they do not typically provide the same level of energy efficiency and operational smoothness as scroll compressors. Vortex compressors, on the other hand, are less common and not standard in refrigeration applications, making scroll compressors the more suitable choice for protocol refrigeration systems.
