The document provides an overview of different types of chiller compressors used in HVAC systems. It discusses the main types - reciprocating compressors, screw compressors, and centrifugal compressors. For each type it provides a brief description of how they work, their advantages and disadvantages, typical capacities, and configurations (e.g. hermetic, semi-hermetic, direct drive for reciprocating compressors). The document is divided into three parts that cover the different compressor types, compare them, and discuss economic evaluation of chiller systems.
