A method includes receiving, by a processing device and from a variable frequency drive coupled to one or more compressors, operation information of the one or more compressors. The method also includes comparing the operation information of the one or more compressors to an operation threshold and determining that the operation information satisfies the operation threshold. The method also includes changing, based on the determination that the operation information of the one or more compressors satisfies the operation threshold, an operation parameter of a component of the refrigeration system. Changing the operation parameter increases at least one of: (i) a velocity of a working fluid in a piping assembly fluidly coupled to the one or more compressors, or (ii) a flow rate of an oil in the piping assembly flowing into the one or more compressors.

A refrigeration assembly includes a receiver tank, a heat exchanger, a first piping assembly, and a second piping assembly. The receiver tank has a fluid outlet and a fluid inlet that receives a working fluid. The heat exchanger is disposed within the receiver tank. The heat exchanger has coiled tubing that is fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet and to the fluid outlet. The first piping assembly is disposed between and is fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet and the coiled tubing. The first piping assembly has a first double riser and a first P-trap. The second piping assembly is disposed between and is fluidly coupled to the fluid outlet and the coiled tubing. The second piping assembly includes a second double riser and a second P-trap.

A multi-split system and a method and device for adjusting an oil volume of a compressor of a multi-split system. The adjusting method comprises the following steps: recycling oil back to an oil storage tank by controlling a switch unit to turn on and an oil volume adjusting unit to turn off; when a continuous time over which the oil storage tank recycles oil reaches a first pre-set time (t1), controlling the switch unit to turn off and controlling a multi-split system to perform a test run; obtaining, according to a low-pressure piping pressure loss (P1) and a refrigerant flow (Q), a low-pressure piping pipe diameter (D) and a low-pressure refrigerant density (Den), an excess oil volume (Q2) that needs to be recycled, and obtaining, according to the excess oil volume and a maximum oil storage volume (Qz) of the oil storage tank, an oil volume to be expelled (Q3).

A connecting device includes a substantially cylindrical or tubular body provided, at one of its ends, with an outer perimeter projection and co-operative with a duct of channel of a cylinder cap. The device is preferably producible with steel aluminum alloy, or another metal alloy with similar structural and thermal properties mainly due to the stresses it may suffer during use. The device is configured to be able to absorb tolerance variations and to have a resilience capable of providing resistance at the time when a connection undergoes mechanical stresses of performance, especially torsion.

The present disclosure provides a compressor with an oil equalizing pipe, a parallel compressor set, and an oil equalizing method. The compressor includes at least one oil equalizing pipe, an opening at one end of the oil equalizing pipe is formed in a target oil level of an oil sump, and the opening at the other end of the oil equalizing pipe is formed in a suction port; and when the oil level of the oil sump of the compressor is higher than the target oil level, the extra oil enters the suction port through the oil equalizing pipe. Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the advantages that, when the compressor is running, the gas in the suction port flows, so that the pressure at the suction port is less than the pressure on the surface of the oil sump; when the oil level of the oil sump of the compressor is higher than the target oil level, the extra oil enters the suction port through the oil equalizing pipe under the action of the above pressure difference, a part of the oil enters vortex and is discharged from the compressor via the exhaust port, and the oil discharged from the compressor returns to the other compressor lack of oil through a pipeline, thereby achieving oil balance between different compressors.

A porous gas bearing is disclosed. The porous gas bearing includes a housing having a fluid inlet and an aperture. A porous surface layer is disposed within the housing surrounding the aperture in a circumferential direction. The porous surface layer is in fluid communication with the fluid inlet. A damping system includes a damping system including a biasing member, the biasing member being disposed in a passageway that extends along the longitudinal direction of the aperture and circumferentially about the aperture, wherein the biasing member is arranged radially outward from the porous surface layer.

An integrated system floods an air conditioning low side heat exchanger such that the air conditioning low side heat exchanger does not evaporate all the liquid refrigerant entering the air conditioning low side heat exchanger. As a result, both liquid and vapor refrigerant leave the air conditioning low side heat exchanger. The system includes an additional receiver that stores the refrigerant leaving the air conditioning low side heat exchanger. To prevent the liquid refrigerant in the receiver from overflowing, the liquid refrigerant in the receiver is used in a refrigeration system when the level of liquid refrigerant in the receiver exceeds a threshold (e.g., as detected by a sensor in the receiver).
