What is an hermetic compressor?
a fully welded or serviceableIn hermetically sealed compressor, the compressor and the motor are enclosed in the welded steel casing and the two are connected by a common shaft. This makes the whole compressor and the motor a single compact and portable unit that can be handled easily. The hermetically sealed compressor is very different from the traditional open type of compressors in which the compressor and the motor are different entities and the compressor is connected to the motor by coupling or belt.Construction of the Hermetically Sealed Reciprocating CompressorIn hermetically sealed compressor, in one side of the enclosed casing the various parts of the compressor like cylinder, piston, connecting rod and the crankshaft are located. If it is a multi-cylinder compressor, there are more than two cylinders inside the casing. On the other side of the casing is the electric winding inside which the shaft of the motor rotates. This motor can be single speed or multi-speed motor. In hermetically sealed compressors the crankshaft of the reciprocating compressor and the rotating shaft of the motor are common. The rotating shaft of the motor extends beyond the motor and forms the crankshaft of the hermetically sealed reciprocating compressor.All these parts of the hermetically sealed compressor are assembled and enclosed in a strong and rigid casing made up of welded steel shell. The steel shell comprises of two half rounded steel bodies that are welded together to form the casing for the hermetically sealed compressor. In some cases the two halves of the shell can be bolted together instead of welding, which permits easy opening of the casing in case of compressor burnout.The hermetically sealed compressors have inbuilt lubrication system for the lubrication of the piston and cylinder and crankshaft. The lubricant also acts the coolant for the piston and cylinder. Additionally, the cool suction refrigerant also offers cooling effect. Externally, the casing has refrigerant suction and discharge connections that are connected to the evaporator and condenser respectively. There is also socket for the electrical connection.The typical condenser unit with the hermetically sealed compressor is shown in above fig. Such condenser units are called as hermetic condenser units. In the other image various parts of hermetically sealed multi-cylinder reciprocating compressor are shown.Types of Hermetic CompressorsOne of the most popular types of the hermetically sealed compressors are the reciprocating compressors. They were the first to be used as the hermetically sealed compressors are still being used widely. These days the vane type of rotary compressor has become more popular. It is considered that the rotary type of hermetically sealed compressor consumes less electricity, makes lesser noise, requires lesser maintenance, and is cheaper than the reciprocating type of hermetically sealed compressor. This is because the rotary compressors has less frictional parts and have only a rotor. The centrifugal types of hermetically sealed compressor are used for the large units.
What is the function of a reciprocating compressor?
To provide moisture free compressed air to a pneumatic system that operates pneumatic motors.
Why reciprocating pumps are not coupled with motor?
In case of emergency, if the cylinder stops, the motor does not. So it can be harmful for motor. Designers couple the high power motor to the cylinder of pump by means of a clutch. so the motor can continue to rotate while the cylinder stops. Also in case of closing the outlet valve of a pump, the pressure in the cylinder can fail the cylinder or crankshaft and accessories. in this case the clutch can separate the power from motor to the pump and prevent failure of pump.
When the screwdriver motor changes direction?
The magnet is the stator part of the motor,either as a permanent or an electromagnet.It doldrums the rotor past of the motor towards it causing the rotation.
What are the possible faults that can occur to an air compressor?
Maybe if it's not working the breaker has flipped. This can be due to a whole new range of electrical issues. Also, it may be not working because it shut off due to being full of condensation water. Some will shut off when they sense they are full, some will fill until the compressor mechanically cant produce compressed air (as water (theoretically)cannot be compressed ), and some will fill until the flood the motor.Maybe the sidewall of the compressor has rusted through creating a hole, or maybe its missing a fitting. In either case the compressor can't create a store of compressed air causing it to run constantly. Since these compressor are mostly designed for intermittent use only, it will eventually wear or burn itself out.If the compressor itself has failed it will be due to issues in one of two categories; mechanical and electrical. If this is a refrigeration compressor, then the issue is most likely mechanical. If this is a smaller, more common sized reciprocating compressor such as one's often used to inflate car tires, then most likely the issue is electrical. It could still be a mechanical issue due to internals wearing out.Possible electrical problems with this type of compressor:-Loose electrical connections:-if connections are loose the voltage drops. when the voltage drops the motor draws more current through the wire the maintain motor speed causing overheating. the most cost effective fix is total replacement.-Breaker overloaded:- if the breaker which the compressor draws power from is overloaded, when everything is running, the compresser cant get enough power. just like above, the motor will work too hard and overheat.Other electrical issues provided through Google search:Stator burn: Improper or unbalanced voltage and poor motor cooling.Single Phase Burn: Loss of one phase on a three phase system.Half Part Wind Burn: Loss of supply to one winding set on a two winding motor(Part wound).Loose Connections: Loose electrical joins causing a voltage drop.Starting Components: Damaged starting capacitors and relays.Inpure Power Supply: Spikes or surges of current flow.Shorted Power Terminals: Over torquing power terminals.Mechanical issues with reciprocating compressor for refrigeration :Flood Back: Liquid refrigerant returning to the compressor during the running cycle.Flooded Start: Crank case oil diluted with liquid refrigerant due to off cycle vapour migration.Liquid Slugging: Liquid refrigerant or excess amounts of oil entering the cylinders during the running cycle.Excessive Discharge Temperatures: Higher than design superheated discharge gas temperatures.Compressor Oil Loss: Quantity of oil returning from the system is less than that leaving the compressor.Perform a Google search for other possible information or contact a professional such as a small motor technician, plumber, HVACR guy, electrician, or handyman.
Why flywheel is used in reciprocating compressor not in centrifugal compressor?
Flywheel prevents fluctuation in the speed of the motor as a result of load fluctuation. It stores the energy and dissipates it to the compressor for prolonged period. So the load fluctuation which is high during compression stage and low during other stages during a cycle in reciprocating compressor gets nullified. On the other hand, centrifugal compressor continiously compresses the gas and does not have load fluctuations, hence flywheel is not required.
What are the parts of refrigeration compressor?
The parts of a hermetic (sealed) reciprocating compressor is as follows; motor, crankshaft, bearings, valves, and pressure relief valve and piston(s). there are other smaller parts that can be named but these are the main players. The hermetic scroll compressor is a little different than the reciprocating compressor because it uses an orbiting scroll and a stationary scroll to compress the refrigerant instead of pistons. This is why a scroll compressor cannot run "backwards". The scroll compressor also has an oil pick up tube which differs from a reciprocating compressor. Now a "semi-hermetic" compressor is build like a small engine. It has an oil pump, reed valve plate, unloaders, pistons, bearings, etc. A screw compressor is in a class all to itself.

How do you change a direction of a motor?
DC motor: Switch your leads. AC single phase motor: Direction cannot be changed. The motor will run the same direction regardless of how your leads are terminated. AC 3 phase motor: Switch any two leads.
Why does the rotation of the motor reversed when change the polarity across the main winding coil?
When changing the auxilary face winding connection the current flow in the winding is changed so that the rotating emf direction is changed . Thats why the motor rotates in opposite direction.
How do you change the direction of DC motor?
by changing the ryb phase altornat e.g. rby ,bry , yrb we change the direction of the induction motor .. . ..

What makes the compressor rotate?
a motor
Why is the hermetic compressor motor manufactured from special material?
because the hermatic compressor motor must be compatible with the refrigerant and oil circulating in the system.
What is a rocker arm in a DC motor and what will happen if the rocker arm connections are changed?
A rocker arm holds a carbon brush. In other words it is a carbon brush holder. Changing over the rocker arm connections is the same as changing over the armature connections and will make a DC motor turn in the reverse direction assuming that the magnetic orientation of the motor's field stays the same.More detailDC motor having a field windingIf the stator's field is created by a field winding and that winding's connections are changed over at the same time as the armature's connections are changed over, then the DC motor's direction of rotation will be the same as before.If the stator's field is created by a field winding and that winding's connections are not changed over at the same time as the the armature's connections are changed over, then the DC motor will turn in the reverse direction.DC Motor having a field created by a permanent magnetIf the stator's magnetic field is created by a permanent magnet and the orientation of that magnet is reversed at the same time that the armature connections are changed over, then the DC motor's direction of rotation will be the same as before.If the stator's magnetic field is created by a permanent magnet and the orientation of that magnet is not reversed at the same time as the armature connections are changed over, then the DC motor will turn in the reverse direction.
