The invention relates to a trans-critical reciprocating
piston compressor taking CO2 as a
refrigerant. The trans-critical reciprocating
piston compressor taking the CO2 as the
refrigerant comprises amachine body, air cylinder covers are arranged on the two sides of the top of a
machine main body of the
machine body in a staggered mode correspondingly, an air cylinder is arranged inside the
machine body, a
piston is arranged inside the air cylinder, a bearing seat is installed at one end of the machine body, a motor cover is installed at the other end of the machine body, an inner cavity of the machine body, the bearing seat and the motor cover form a
closed cavity, the cavity of the machine body comprises a motor box, a
crankcase and a compression cavity, the motor box is located on the side close to the motor cover, the
crankcase is located on the side close to the bearing seat, a
crankshaft is arranged inside the
crankcase, the crankcase is connected with the motor box through the
crankshaft, a motor in the motor box drives the
crankshaft to do rotary motion, the crankshaft is in transmission connection with the piston, a valve plate is arranged inside the compression cavity, the valve plate is placed at the top of the air cylinder, and when the piston does reciprocating movement, corresponding air suction and exhaust are completed. The efficiency of the piston compressor ishigher than that of a compressor in other form under the working condition of large
pressure difference.
