# Industrial Specification: Compressor

## 1. Technical Definition
Mechanical device that increases the pressure of refrigerant gas in a refrigeration system

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **2.0-25.0 bar (discharge pressure), 0.5-8.0 bar (suction pressure)**. Failure boundary: **Discharge pressure exceeding 30.0 bar causes mechanical seal failure, suction pressure below 0.3 bar induces refrigerant starvation**, Mechanism: **Compressor failure occurs due to refrigerant oil breakdown at 150°C (flash point), leading to lubrication loss and metal-to-metal contact between piston and cylinder walls**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Determines the hoop stress boundary to prevent rupture.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| P | Internal Pressure | Engineering Constant |
| D | Diameter | Engineering Constant |
