Figure 3.  Compression Ratio

The ratio of measured head pressure and suction pressures, corrected from psig to psia, is a graphical presentation of the amount of required work by the compressor in the refrigeration cycle. As can be seen, with the LPA, the compression ratio was reduced between 17% and 60% over the ambient test range and compares closely with Figure 6, Compressor kW.
