The paper provides a comprehensive examination of various approaches to thermal analysis of reciprocating compressors. It is generally known that a significant portion of the inefficiency in small reciprocating compressors used for residential refrigeration is due to thermal effects, which are primarily manifested as superheating. As a result, being able to tune the compressor's thermal behaviors is critical for increasing its efficiency. In fact, it is widely assumed that the effectiveness with which the thermal issue is addressed will have a significant impact on future compressor improvements. The purpose of this work is to provide an overview of the various computational and experimental approaches for compressor thermal design that are currently used in the industry. Each methodology is briefly described, along with prospective applications for compressor analysis, as well as its key benefits and limitations. Finally, some new information concerning recent developments in this field is shared. The purpose of this research is to determine the temperature distribution on the piston's upper surface. Because damaged or broken parts are so expensive to replace, it is predicted that the top surface of the piston will be damaged or broken owing to temperature weather during operation.
