Refrigeration Cycle: Capacity Control

October 13th, 2026

Most refrigeration systems are subject to variable system loads caused by weather and product load fluctuations. For this reason, refrigeration systems must be capable of operating at “part load”. Engineers and plant operators achieve this, in part, by utilizing capacity control in compressors.  In reciprocating compressors, capacity control is accomplished by what is called “cylinder […]
