The results show that when the compressor speed increases from 2500 rpm to 4500 rpm, the compressor discharge temperature increases, the refrigeration capacity increases by 39.53% and the compressor power increases by 38.89%, in addition, as the speed increases, the system COP shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, with the best value of 2.71 at 3500 rpm.
