In this paper the experiments conducted for the measurement of oil flow in the rotary compressor are described. The experimental data are compared against the theoretical prediction from the mathematical model developed (1) and a good agreement is found. In addition, experimental data from previously published literature are also used to verify the mathematical model. A sensitivity study is carried out to predict the behaviour of the rotary compressor for the oil flow at different conditions and with different dimensions.
