Scroll compressor with economizer injection
A scroll compressor includes a compressor housing, an orbiting scroll member, a non-orbiting scroll member, an economizer injection inlet, and a discharge outlet. The orbiting scroll member and the non-orbiting scroll member are disposed within the compressor housing. The orbiting scroll member and the non-orbiting scroll member are intermeshed thereby forming a compression chamber within the compressor housing. The non-orbiting scroll includes a plurality of compression inlet ports. An economizer injection inlet is formed through the compressor housing and in fluid communication with the compression chamber via the compression inlet ports. The discharge outlet is in fluid communication with the compression chamber.
SCROLL COMPRESSOR OF AN ELECTRICAL REFRIGERANT DRIVE AND ELECTRICAL REFRIGERANT DRIVE
A scroll compressor of an electrical refrigerant drive contains a housing having a low-pressure chamber, a high-pressure chamber, compression chambers and a counter-pressure chamber. A stationary scroll has a base plate and a spiral wall, the base plate of the stationary scroll delimits the high-pressure chamber. A movable scroll has a base plate and a spiral wall which engages into the spiral wall of the stationary scroll and forms the compression chambers with the spiral wall. The base plate of the movable scroll delimits the counter-pressure chamber. A first fluidic connection is provided which connects the counter-pressure chamber to the radially innermost compression chamber, and the first fluidic connection is located in a positioning region of the radially innermost compression chamber between 75° to 195° following the merge angle.
SCROLL COMPRESSOR AND REFRIGERATION CYCLE DEVICE
In a scroll compressor, at an end plate surface of a fixed scroll, an annular back pressure groove connected to a back pressure chamber is provided, and an arc-shaped first groove and an arc-shaped second groove are provided inside the back pressure groove in a radial direction. A distance between the second groove and the back pressure groove is shorter than a distance between the first groove and the back pressure groove. A revolving scroll is provided with a first hole and a second hole for guiding lubricant oil from an oil supply path to the end plate surface side of the fixed scroll. At least part of a movement locus of an opening of the first hole is included in the first groove. At least part of a movement locus of an opening of the second hole is included in the second groove. The first groove and the second groove at least partially overlap with each other in the radial direction.
Compressor having capacity modulation assembly
A compressor may include a shell, first and second scrolls, a seal assembly, a modulation control chamber, and a modulation control valve. The first scroll may include a first end plate having a biasing passage extending therethrough. The seal assembly may isolate a discharge pressure region from a suction pressure region. The seal assembly and the first scroll may define an axial biasing chamber therebetween that communicates with the axial biasing chamber and a first pocket between the first and second scrolls. The modulation control chamber may be fluidly coupled with the biasing chamber by a first passage. The modulation control valve may be fluidly coupled with the modulation control chamber by a second passage and movable between a first position allowing communication between the second passage and the suction pressure region and a second position restricting communication between the second passage and the suction pressure region.
Compressor with enhanced stiffness at contact point between fixed and orbiting scrolls
A compressor, more particularly, a scroll compressor provides structures that may enhance centrifugal stiffness at a contact point between a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll. The compressor may include an orbiting scroll having an orbiting scroll wrap wound around a radial-direction inner area from a radial-direction outer area; and a fixed scroll having a fixed scroll wrap wound around the radial-direction inner area from the radial-direction outer area. A surfacing part may be configured to narrow a distance between the orbiting scroll wrap and the fixed scroll wrap may be formed in a predetermined section of the orbiting scroll or fixed scroll wrap.
Compressor Having Floating Seal Assembly
A compressor includes a shell, a first scroll member, a second scroll member and a sealing assembly. The shell defines a first pressure region and a second pressure region. The first scroll member is disposed within the shell and includes a first end plate and a first scroll wrap. The second scroll member includes a second end plate and a second scroll wrap. The second scroll wrap meshingly engages the first scroll wrap to define a compression chamber therebetween. The seal assembly fluidly separates the first and second pressure regions from each other. The seal assembly includes a first plate, a second plate, a sealing member. The sealing member is sealingly engaged with the first plate and the second plate.
Scroll compressor having cooling pipe moving synchronously with orbiting scroll and rotating with respect to crankshaft
A compressor includes an orbiting scroll, a cooling pipe and a crankshaft, the cooling pipe includes an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, an axial through hole is provided at a center of the orbiting scroll, a sealing portion of the orbiting scroll is provided with a sealing groove, a mounting hole is provided in the crankshaft, the cooling pipe passes through the crankshaft and enters from a tail portion of the crankshaft, through the mounting hole, the axial through hole and the sealing groove, and then returns back on the same way, and a part of the cooling pipe is arranged in the sealing portion of the orbiting scroll, the cooling pipe moves synchronously with the orbiting scroll and rotates with respect to the crankshaft.
SCROLL COMPRESSOR
A scroll compressor is provided which is capable of performing an adjustment to appropriate back pressure in both a low-speed operation condition and an operation condition low in suction pressure by improving the position or dimension of a back pressure hole. The scroll compressor includes a back pressure chamber 29 formed on the back surface of a mirror plate 31 of a movable scroll 22, and back pressure holes 51 and 52 formed in the mirror plate of the movable scroll and providing communication between the back pressure chamber and the compression chamber 34. After the back pressure hole 52 is opened inside a lap 32 of the movable scroll in a first crank angle range, the back pressure hole 52 is temporarily closed by a lap 24 of a fixed scroll 21 and then opened inside the lap of the fixed scroll in a second crank angle range.
Compressor modulation system with multi-way valve
A compressor may include first and second scrolls, an axial biasing chamber, and a modulation control valve. The second scroll includes an outer port and an inner port. The outer and inner ports may be open to respective intermediate-pressure compression pockets. The modulation control valve may be in fluid communication with the inner port, the outer port, and the axial biasing chamber. Movement of the modulation control valve into a first position switches the compressor into a reduced-capacity mode and allows fluid communication between the inner port and the axial biasing chamber while preventing fluid communication between the outer port and the axial biasing chamber. Movement of the modulation control valve into a second position switches the compressor into a full-capacity mode and allows fluid communication between the outer port and the axial biasing chamber while preventing fluid communication between the inner port and the axial biasing chamber.
Scroll compressor
A scroll compressor includes a compression mechanism having a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll, a drive shaft engaging with the orbiting scroll, and a casing housing the compression mechanism and the drive shaft. An orbiting scroll thrust sliding surface is pressed against and in sliding contact with a fixed scroll thrust sliding surface. One of the thrust sliding surfaces is provided with an oil groove. A bearing oil supply passage provided inside the drive shaft does not communicate with the oil groove and is used to supply the lubricating oil in an oil reservoir in the casing to a bearing of the drive shaft. A sliding surface oil supply passage is used to supply the lubricating oil in the oil reservoir to the oil groove. The sliding surface oil supply passage has a sliding surface main passage provided inside the drive shaft.
