For a R410A-rolling piston type rotary compressor model which was modified by reducing the cylinder height and shaft eccentricity from R22-compressor version, numerical simulation has been carried out and simulation results have been found to be compared fairly well with those of measurements. EER of this first version of R410A compressor was 4.8% lower than that of R22 compressor. To improve the performance of the R410A compressor model, parametric study on the design parameters related to the discharge port system has been performed by using the numerical simulation program, and optimum conditions for the highest EER have been obtained with the aid of Taguchi method. With the optimized discharge port configuration, EER has been improved by 1.7%.
