A compressor includes a drive mechanism and a compression mechanism having a discharge passage and a plurality of members disposed to overlap. The discharge passage includes a muffling chamber, an inflow passage connected to an inflow end of the muffling chamber, and an outflow passage connected to an outflow end of the muffling chamber. The muffling chamber is formed across two or more of the plurality of members. The compression mechanism includes first and second cylinders, and a second closing member that covers an opening surface a of the first cylinder and an opening surface of the second cylinder. The muffling chamber includes an expansion chamber having a passage sectional area larger than the inflow and outflow passages. The expansion chamber is formed across the second closing member, and the first and second cylinders.

A rotary compressor includes a compression mechanism having a cylinder, a piston, and a Helmholtz muffler. The Helmholtz muffler has a resonance chamber in the compression mechanism and a communication groove formed on an end face of the cylinder to connect the cylinder and resonance chambers. The communication groove is open at the end face of the cylinder and has a pair of side wall portions and a bottom wall portion between the side wall portions. Each side wall portion has a first portion adjacent an open end of the communication groove and a second portion adjacent the bottom wall portion. A surface of the first portion is a flat or bowed surface. A surface of the second portion is a bowed surface having a predetermined curvature so as to be connected to the surface of the first portion and a surface of the bottom wall portion.

The present disclosure relates to a compressor including a branch part for reducing vibration and noise caused by a refrigerant flowing inside a muffler by expanding an enclosed space formed by a compression part and the muffler in the direction of a rotation axis.

A fluid working system such as a pump for displacing a working fluid such as hydraulic fluid or a motor using a working fluid is provided. The system may have a positive displacement machine which includes one or more working chamber with displacement means such as a cylinder with a reciprocating piston. There are also two or more fluid ports to allow the working fluid to flow into and out of the working chamber. The working fluid flows from one fluid port means to another either being forced to do so when pumped or moving the piston when functioning as an engine. The fluid working system has associated therewith a non-dead compliance volume of a material such as syntactic foam. This compliance volume acts to smooth any pressure fluctuations within the working fluid system.

A damping apparatus for an exhaust valve in a compressor, an exhaust valve assembly having the damping apparatus, and a compressor using the exhaust valve assembly. The damping apparatus comprises a fixed body; the fixed body comprises an exhaust hole comprises an exhaust hole through which a compression cavity and an exhaust cavity are in fluid communication with each other; the exhaust hole comprises an inlet, an outlet, and an intermediate cavity provided between the inlet and the outlet and allowing the inlet and the outlet to be in fluid communication with each other; the intermediate cavity is configured to enable the backflow of the gas from the exhaust cavity to form a vortex in the intermediate cavity. The damping apparatus has advantages of reducing the force and frequency of impacts on an exhaust valve plate, and prolonging the service life of the valve plate.

A shunt-enhanced decompression and pulsation trap (SEDAPT) for a screw compressor assists internal compression (IC), reduces gas pulsation and NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness), and improves off-design efficiency, without using a slide valve and/or a serial pulsation dampener. The SEDAPT includes an inner casing, e.g., an integral part of the compressor chamber, and an outer casing, e.g., surrounding part of the inner casing near the compressor discharge port, forming at least one diffusing chamber with an outflow orifice or nozzle equipped with an ODV (one-direction valve) at the outflow exit and a feedback region that provides a feedback outflow loop between the compressor chamber and the compressor discharge port. The SEDAPT automatically bleeds or compensates cavity pressure to meet different outlet pressures, eliminates or reduces energy waste, gas pulsations and NVH associated with any over-compression and under-compression before the discharge port opens.

Disclosed herein is a scroll compressor having a shaft balancer capable of attenuating vibration while preventing deformation of the rotary shaft during operation at a high speed.

A scroll compressor including a center housing; a front housing fastened to the center housing and forming a suction chamber; a rear housing fastened to the center housing and forming a compression mechanism accommodation space. Fixed scroll is in the compression mechanism accommodation space. An orbiting scroll interposes between the center housing and the fixed scroll forming a compression chamber together with the fixed scroll. Fixed scroll may include a fixed scroll end plate and a fixed scroll side plate protruded from outer circumferential portion of fixed scroll end plate, fastened to the center housing, and forming orbiting space of orbiting scroll. Outer circumferential portion of the center housing may be formed with an inflow hole for communicating with the suction chamber. Distal end surface of the fixed scroll side plate is formed with a suction port for guiding the refrigerant of the inflow hole to the compression chamber.

A lower end plate cover is provided with a bulging portion. In a circumferential direction of a rotary shaft, a plurality of bolt holes includes a first bolt hole arranged between a distal end portion and a proximal end portion of the lower discharge valve, a second bolt hole arranged in a position adjacent to the first bolt hole on a side close to a lower vane groove with respect to the first bolt hole, and a third bolt hole arranged in a position adjacent to the first bolt hole on a side away from the lower vane groove with respect to the first bolt hole. When the bulging portion is divided into a first bulging portion and a second bulging portion using a first straight line, the first bulging portion is larger than the second bulging portion.

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.
