Linear compressor has no crank mechanism compared with conventional reciprocating compressor. This allows higher efficiency, oil-free operation, lower cost and smaller size when linear compressors are used for vapour compression refrigeration (VCR) system. Typically, a linear compressor consists of a linear motor (connected to a piston) and suspension springs, operated at resonant frequency. This paper presents a review of linear compressors for refrigeration system. Different designs and modelling of linear compressors for both domestic refrigeration and electronics cooling (miniature VCR system) are discussed. Key characteristics of linear compressor are also described, including motor type, compressor loss, piston sensing and control, piston drift and resonance. The challenges associated with the linear compressors are also discussed to provide a comprehensive review of the technology for research and development in future.
