Reciprocating refrigeration compressor internal materials must match refrigerant and lubricant; incompatible combinations cause elastomer swelling and seal failure within 1500 running hours.
Xiteliduo reciprocating compressor 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder models support R404A, R134a and R507A. R717 ammonia version uses different valve plate and seal material sets.
Small 4-cyl reciprocating refrigeration compressor using R507A has volumetric efficiency 4% higher than R404A at evaporation temperature -20℃, with discharge temperature 7℃ lower.
Medium 4-cyl reciprocating refrigeration compressor with ammonia refrigerant requires nickel-plated piston rods; ordinary carbon steel suffers corrosion rate of 0.06 mm per year.
Large 4-cyl reciprocating refrigeration compressor is not recommended for R744 CO₂ transcritical cycle, as peak pressure exceeds 12 MPa and exceeds standard component design limit.
Large 6-cyl reciprocating refrigeration compressor for R134a has seal material HNBR; NBR seals swell by 27% when exposed to R134a and lose sealing function.
Single-unit two-stage refrigeration compressor low-pressure stage is commonly matched with R404A. Refrigerant with higher density reduces suction pressure drop and improves volumetric efficiency.
Cascade unit low-temperature circuit often uses R23; this refrigerant cannot be filled into reciprocating compressor high-stage side due to pressure and thermal property mismatch.
Screw refrigeration compressor can adapt to more refrigerants, but ammonia screw units require stricter shaft sealing design than ammonia reciprocating refrigeration compressor.
A common error is mixing different refrigerants in one reciprocating compressor circuit; mixed refrigerants may generate acid and corrode cylinder walls within 300 hours.
