A reciprocating compressor is a volumetric machine. Consequently, the motion of gas in communications always is of non-stationary or pulsating character. The diagram of oscillatory processes in communications is complex because a number of factors affect the nature of the flow: cyclical gas supply, valve dynamics, change in the flow area of pipelines, variable cylinder volume, variable piston velocity, temperature gradients, etc. The analysis of non-stationary processes in the suction stage of a household refrigeration compressor is considered. A mathematical model of the flow of real gas in the suction system of a household refrigeration piston compressor has been developed. We performed a calculation study of the motion diagram of the suction valve, gas velocities in the suction pipe and pressure changes in the suction chamber. The results of a reciprocating compressor study while compressing various gases are given. The influence of the properties of refrigerants on the operation of the compressor and the suction system is considered.
