Scroll compressor and refrigeration cycle apparatus

A scroll compressor includes a crank shaft, an orbiting scroll, and a frame. The crank shaft has a lubricant channel. The orbiting scroll has an inner channel and a lubricant channel groove. The inner channel allows the lubricant supplied through the crank shaft to flow outward. The lubricant channel groove has an annular shape and allows the lubricant supplied through the inner channel to be supplied to the thrust surface. The lubricant channel groove is formed such that the lubricant channel groove stays within a region of the thrust surface while the orbiting scroll is orbiting.

Accordingly, a horizontal motor operated compressor in which a frame and a fixed scroll are integrated may be provided.

Sealing In Helical Trochoidal Rotary Machines
20210025392 · 2021-01-28 ·

Sealing in rotary positive displacement machines based on trochoidal geometry that comprise a helical rotor that undergoes planetary motion within a helical stator is described. Seals can be mounted on the rotor, the stator, or both. The rotor can have a hypotrochoidal cross-section, with the corresponding stator cavity profile being the outer envelope of the rotor as it undergoes planetary motion, or the stator cavity can have an epitrochoidal cross-section with the corresponding rotor profile being the inner envelope of the trochoid as it undergoes planetary motion. In some embodiments, the geometry is offset in a manner that provides advantages with respect to sealing in the rotary machine. In multi-stage embodiments, the rotor-stator geometry remains substantially constant or varies along the axis of the rotary machine.

Screw-Type Compressor for a Utility Vehicle

A screw compressor for a utility vehicle has at least one housing with at least one housing cover and with at least one rotor housing, at least one baffle plate and at least one seal. In the assembled state, an oil sump is present in the housing, wherein, with regard to the assembled state, the seal is arranged between housing cover and rotor housing and projects out of the oil sump. The seal at least partially separates the interior of the housing cover from the interior of the rotor housing. With regard to the assembled state, in the case of a substantially horizontal orientation of the screw-type compressor and in the case of a substantially horizontal orientation of the oil sump, the baffle plate is oriented substantially parallel to the upper level of the oil sump.

Compressor with pulsation attenuation space disposed in injection passage
10876532 · 2020-12-29 · ·

A compressor includes a compression chamber forming member, an injection passage, an injection pipe, and a pulsation attenuation space. The compression chamber forming member forms a compression chamber. The injection passage is formed in at least one of the compression chamber forming member and a separate member disposed in a surrounding area and connecting to the compression chamber. The injection pipe supplies refrigerant to the injection passage. The pulsation attenuation space is formed in one of the compression chamber forming member and the separate member disposed in the surrounding area so as to communicate with the injection passage. The pulsation attenuation space attenuates pulsation of refrigerant gas flowing from the injection pipe into the compression chamber.

Scroll compressor

A scroll compressor includes a compression mechanism having fixed and movable scrolls forming a compression chamber, a motor to drive the movable scroll, a casing accommodating the compression mechanism and the motor, a housing accommodated inside the casing, a floating member supported by the housing, a first seal member, and first and second flow passages. An inside of the casing is partitioned into first and second spaces. The floater member can be pushed toward the movable scroll by pressure in a back-pressure space formed between the floating member and the housing. The first seal partitions the back-pressure space into first and second chambers. The first flow passage guides the refrigerant in the middle of compression in the compression mechanism to the first chamber. The second guides the refrigerant discharged from the compression mechanism to the second chamber.
