A rotary compressor is provided that may include a roller slidingly coupled to an eccentric portion of a rotational shaft so as to be moved along an inner circumferential surface of a cylinder by the rotational shaft, and a vane slidingly coupled to the cylinder so as to divide the compression space into a plurality of compression chambers. An oil supply groove may be formed on an outer circumferential surface of the eccentric portion or an inner circumferential surface of the roller that faces the outer circumferential surface of the eccentric portion, and a depth of the oil supply groove may decrease as a distance in a circumferential direction from the second oil supply hole increases. Accordingly, an amount of oil supplied between the eccentric portion and the roller may be increased to thereby reduce friction loss.

A compressor includes a compression mechanism, a driveshaft, and a motor. The compression mechanism is configured to compress a fluid to a discharge pressure. The motor is configured to rotate the driveshaft. The driveshaft is engaged with the compression mechanism and is fixed to rotate with at least a portion of the compression mechanism. The driveshaft includes a longitudinal aperture configured to receive the fluid at a suction pressure, and includes a flange that receives at least a portion of the compression mechanism. The flange and the compression mechanism define a fluid passage therebetween. The fluid at suction pressure is received within the fluid passage from the longitudinal aperture in the driveshaft.

A multistage compressor system with intercooler can include a sealed housing with first and second compressor stages, where the first compressor stage is for receiving refrigerant from outside of the sealed housing, and the second compressor stage is for receiving refrigerant from within the sealed housing. The compressor system can also include a crank for mechanically driving the first compressor stage and/or the second compressor stage, and a heat exchanger outside of the sealed housing for receiving refrigerant from the first compressor stage and exchanging heat with the refrigerant. The compressor system can further include an oil reservoir contained by the sealed housing, where the oil reservoir includes oil for lubricating the crank, receives the refrigerant from the heat exchanger, and exchanges heat with the refrigerant to cool the oil in the oil reservoir, and where the refrigerant can be supplied to the second compressor stage.

Screw compressor with a compression chamber that is formed by a compression housing, in which a pair of meshed helical compressor rotors in the form of a screw are rotatably mounted and with a drive motor that is provided with a motor chamber formed by a motor housing, in which a motor shaft is rotatably mounted, and this motor shaft drives at least one of the aforementioned two compressor rotors, whereby the compression housing and the motor housing are connected directly together to form a compressor housing, whereby the motor chamber and the compression chamber are not sealed off from one another and whereby the rotor shafts of the compressor rotors, as well as the motor shaft, extend along axial directions that are oblique or transverse to the horizontal plane.

A crankcase heating control system for a heat pump system includes a data receiving module and a power control module. The data receiving module receives data indicative of a temperature of a compressor of the heat pump system, data indicative of an ambient temperature, and data indicative of a current date and a current time. The power control module selectively applies power to a heater of a crankcase of the compressor and selectively disables the heater based on the temperature of the compressor, the ambient temperature, the current date, and the current time.

An oil-free water-injected screw air compressor comprises a housing that encloses two rotors for generating compressed air, and an air water separator for separating the water from the compressed air. Water injection can effectively cool a compressor, and some embodiments provide a sealing system for isolation of compressor bearing lubricant from water used for cooling.
