Theoretical study on the application of isothermal compression technology in vapor‐compression refrigeration systems with an isothermal piston

Abstract Vapor‐compression refrigeration systems are widely used in refrigeration equipment. Theoretically, the process is typically divided into two isobaric processes: an adiabatic isentropic compression process and adiabatic isentropic throttling process. The refrigeration compressor is the main...
