The efficient use of energy is one of the most important issues to be solved after water and food problems. In 2020, approximately 290 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity was consumed in Turkey. About 10% of the electricity consumption in industry is used for the production of compressed air. Therefore, increasing the performance of compressors used in the production of compressed air is of great importance for the industry and our country. In this study, studies aimed at increasing the efficiency of rotary compressors, which are widely used in refrigerators and air conditioners, have been compiled and examined under the titles. In addition, advantages, disadvantages and technological developments of rotary compressors were evaluated and it was aimed to contribute to the literature.
