Period One introduced the four types of compressors commonly used in air- conditioning applications: reciprocating, scroll, helical-rotary (or screw), and centrifugal.

The first three types are called positive-displacement compressors. They work on the principle of trapping the refrigerant vapor and compressing it by gradually shrinking the volume of the refrigerant. Centrifugal compressors use the principle of dynamic compression, which involves converting energy from one form to another, to increase the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant.
