A compressor includes a shell, a bearing housing, an orbiting scroll, a non-orbiting scroll and a spacer. The bearing housing includes a central body and a plurality of arms extending radially outwardly from the central body. Each of the arms has a first aperture. The non-orbiting scroll is meshingly engaged with the orbiting scroll and includes a plurality of second apertures. Each second aperture receives a bushing defining a first longitudinal axis and a fastener defining a second longitudinal axis. The fastener extends through the bushing and into a corresponding one of the first apertures in the bearing housing. The spacer is disposed between the bushing and the fastener of each second aperture and is configured to engage one of the bushing and the fastener to restrict radial misalignment between the first longitudinal axis of the bushing and the second longitudinal axis of the fastener.

A scroll device includes a fixed scroll with an idler shaft bearing, an orbiting scroll with another idler shaft bearing; and an eccentric idler shaft having first and second arms extending in opposite directions and ending at first and second ends, the first and second arms supported by the fixed scroll idler shaft bearing and the orbiting scroll idler shaft bearing, respectively. The eccentric idler shaft has a hollow core extending from the first end to the second end, with at least one channel extending through the first arm and enabling fluid communication between the hollow core and the at least one first bearing, and at least one second channel extending through the second arm and enabling fluid communication between the hollow core and the least one second bearing.

A scroll pump (100, 200) comprising a first scroll comprising a first spiral wall (124, 224); a second scroll comprising a second spiral wall (134, 234), the second spiral wall being intermeshed with the first spiral wall; and a pad (180, 280) formed from a different material to the first and second scrolls, the pad being located between the first and second scrolls radially inwards or outwards of the first and second spiral walls.

An arrangement for plug-connecting electrical connections through a housing, in particular a device for driving a compressor. The arrangement exhibits at least one plug-in connection with at least one plug-in connector for transmitting electrical energy, as well as one mounting element for mounting the at least one plug-in connector. The mounting element can be fixed on the housing. The mounting element exhibits on one inner surface of the housing, which encloses the volume, an opening for mounting a fastening element for fixing the mounting element on the housing. The opening is produced in such a way that it starts from the inner surface, extends into the mounting element and ends in the mounting element. The fastening element is arranged in such a way that it is inserted into the opening from the volume enclosed by the housing through a pass-through opening, that is produced in the housing.

A compressor operable in a heat pump mode of a refrigerant circuit includes a compression space in which a refrigerant is compressed. The compression space includes a discharge port and an injection port. A discharge chamber is fluidly coupled to the compression space by the discharge port. An injection chamber is fluidly coupled to the compression space by the injection port. A discharge recirculation pathway selectively provides fluid communication between the discharge chamber and the injection chamber. An injection of the recirculated refrigerant into the compression space through the injection port results in an increase in pressure, and hence temperature, of the refrigerant when discharged to the discharge chamber. The increased temperature of the discharged refrigerant increases a heating capacity of a condenser of the associated refrigerant circuit.

A scroll compressor of the present disclosure includes a housing; a motor provided in the housing; a rotating shaft rotated by the motor; an orbital scroll orbital moved by the rotating shaft; and a fixed scroll forming a compression chamber together with the orbital scroll, wherein the housing includes a center housing through which the rotating shaft passes; a front housing forming a motor accommodating space in which the motor is accommodated; and a rear housing having a discharge chamber accommodating a refrigerant discharged from the compression chamber, a discharge port guiding the refrigerant of the discharge chamber to an outside of the housing, an introduction port into which an intermediate pressure refrigerant is introduced from the outside of the housing, and an introduction chamber accommodating the refrigerant introduced through the introduction port, and wherein the fixed scroll comprises an injection hole guiding the refrigerant of the introduction chamber to the compression chamber. Thereby, an amount of refrigerant discharged from the compression chamber is increased, and thus the performance and efficiency of the compressor may be improved.

In a compressor compressing a refrigerant including hydrocarbon fluoride prone to disproportionate, provided, on a contact portion of the drive shaft and the bearing portion, is an elastic bearing portion as a heat generation suppression portion suppressing excessive heat generation due to line contact of an end edge portion of the bearing portion with the drive shaft during rotation of the drive shaft.

A scroll compressor comprises a partition plate, a compression mechanism, a capacity adjustment device and a sealing assembly. The sealing assembly isolates a back pressure chamber from a high-pressure space and low-pressure space. A first sealing portion is formed between the sealing assembly and the partition plate. The capacity adjustment device is provided with a variable pressure chamber and configured to establish or break the communication between a first compression chamber and the low pressure space by changing the pressure in the variable pressure chamber. According to the compressor, requirements for pressure in the back pressure chamber of the compressor in different load conditions can be balanced, the axial force on the compression mechanism can be reduced, the power consumption of the scroll compressor can be lowered, the system performance can be improved, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
