The major difference between a 2-stage heat pump and single stage is the run time on 1st stage, especially for the a/c. On 1st stage, the compressor can put out 1/2 to 2/3 of its rated capacity and is more efficient producing btu's than when running full out on 2nd stage. The more the system runs on 1st stage, the lower the operating costs

What does it mean by critical speed of a compressor?
It's the speed at which, if exceeded, the compressor will fail.
Why is RPM speed so important to the life of a compressor?
Why is RPM (speed) so important to the life of a compressor
Why is it desirable to have a two-speed compressor?

Why variable speed compressor motors are more efficient than single speed motors in heat pump system?
This type of compressor uses a special drive to control The speed of the unit. Also, saves more energy than a fixed speed equivalent.
What is compressor turndown?
Turndown: The allowable operating range for the centrifugal compressor between the design point and the surge line at any given speed for a fixed compressor head.
Describe why variable speed compressor motors are more efficient than single speed motors in heat pump systems?
This type of compressor uses a special drive to control The speed of the unit. Also, saves more energy than a fixed speed equivalent.
What is the self-sustaining speed of gas turbine?
self sustaining speed is output of a turbine= input into compressor
I have a 2003 4 runner limited with about 70000 miles. When I push the AC button the AC comes on for a few seconds the cuts off and the light starts blinking. What is the cause of this?
most likely, the ac compressor is not functioning properly. when compressor's speed sensor is not the same with engine speed the ecu will shut off power to compressor. time for new compressor.
What would be done to increase the compressor speed on a belt-driven compressor?
increase drive pulley size
How is the capacity of a screw compressor controlled?
Capacity control is the process by which the flow of the discharged gas from the compressor is controlled. This can be accomplished by several method. 1. Controlling the speed of the compressor. 2. Controlling the clearance of the compressor. 3. Throttling the suction valve. 4. Suction valve unloader.
Where do you put oil in air compressor?
if your uing air tools on the compressor then you will put one or two drops directly into the inlet where you connect the compressor hose
Why is a scroll compressor more efficient than a reciprocating compressor?
The scroll compressor is one that has spirals rotating into each other. The screw compressor is where two spirals are rotating in opposite directions.
