Abstract
Nowadays, environmental compliance in refrigeration technology often comes to the fore. Instead of R12 freon, which is harmful to the ozone layer, R600a refrigerant is often used. The work under consideration indicates the prospect of using R600a refrigerant in single-stage refrigeration machines using a low-speed compressor. At the same time, to simulate work processes, it is necessary to clarify the calculation model. This can be done by conducting experimental studies and verifying the existing model of a low-speed compressor based on the results obtained. The results of the theoretical and natural experiments were compared, and the difference in the results did not exceed 8%.

Keywords: long-stroke piston compressor, operating processes, measurement of instantaneous temperature and gas pressure, experimental studies of piston compressors, mathematical model, freon R600a.
