The compression mechanism may be disposed within the shell and may be operable to compress a working fluid. The first temperature sensor may be at least partially disposed within the shell at a first position. The second temperature sensor may be at least partially disposed within the shell at a second position that is vertically higher than the first position. The control module may be in communication with the first and second temperature sensors and the pressure sensor and may determine whether a liquid level in the lubricant sump is below a predetermined level based on data received from the first and second temperature sensors.

The present application discloses an air compression apparatus mounted on a vehicle. The air compression apparatus includes a first air compressor configured to generate first compressed air, a first cooling fan configured to send first cooling wind in a first direction to cool the first air compressor, and a second air compressor aligned with the first air compressor in a second direction intersecting with the first direction. The second air compressor generates second compressed air.

A compressor (10) is provided and may include a shell (12), a main bearing housing (18) disposed within the shell (12), a driveshaft (16), a non-orbiting scroll member (24), and an orbiting scroll member (22). The driveshaft (16) may be supported by the main bearing housing (18). The non-orbiting scroll member (24) may be coupled to the main bearing housing (18) and may include a first lubricant supply path in fluid communication with a lubricant source. The orbiting scroll member (22) may be rotatably coupled to the driveshaft (16) and may be meshingly engaged with the non-orbiting scroll member (24). The orbiting scroll member (22) may include a recess (96) that is moved between a first position in fluid communication with the first lubricant supply path and a second position fluidly isolated from the first lubricant supply path.

A compressor and a method for assembling a compressor are provided. The compressor may include a compressor casing coupled to each of a suction inlet, into which a refrigerant may be introduced, and a discharge outlet, through which the refrigerant may be discharged, a compressor body mounted inside the compressor casing to compress the refrigerant suctioned in through the suction inlet, and then discharge the refrigerant through the discharge outlet, a noise reducing member disposed between the compressor body and the compressor casing, and at least one fixing member mounted inside the compressor casing to fix the noise reducing member to an inner wall of the compressor casing.

A flexible coupling device for a spinning or co-rotating scroll device and associated systems and methods are provided. The coupling device may be configured to couple a first scroll and a second scroll of a co-rotating scroll device. Further, a first scroll shaft of the first scroll and a second scroll shaft of the second scroll are maintained in parallel misalignment by the coupling device. The coupling device may comprise a coupling ring and a plurality of connecting members extending from the coupling ring. Each connecting member includes a flexure arm configured to elastically move or flex between a first flexed position and a second flexed position which contributes to maintaining the parallel misalignment between the first scroll shaft and the second scroll shaft.

There is provided an electric compressor to be fixed an object including a compression mechanism, an electric motor, a housing, a supporting member, and a plurality of vibration damping members. One of the housing and the supporting member has a recess and the other of the housing and the supporting member has a projection that is disposed in the recess and engaged with the recess to form a plurality of accommodating spaces on opposite sides of the projection, respectively. A filling rate of each vibration damping member in the corresponding accommodating space is changeable. There is also provided a method for manufacturing the electric compressor, including preparing a plurality of vibration damping members, choosing one of the vibration damping members, and providing the supporting member to the outer peripheral surface of the housing while accommodating the chosen vibration damping members in the respective accommodating spaces.

A pulsation and vibration control device for use with a compressor, which provides multiple vibration-reducing components in a compact space. The device comprises a muffler including a flange at the compressor end, a muffler body with vibration control features such as baffles, and a free end on a discharge line side but kept out of contact with the discharge line, and a bellows assembly, including an attachment to the muffler flange, an attachment to the discharge line, and first and second convolutions and a middle section which are sized such that they can fit over the muffler body without contacting it.

A controller that controls an electric compressor, which is mounted to a vehicle and configures a two-stage compression refrigeration cycle device, has a deceleration section, an operation stop section, and a restart section. The deceleration section reduces a rotational speed of an electric motor by controlling an AC current which is output to the electric motor, when a two-stage compression mode, in which an intermediate-pressure refrigerant flows into the electric compressor from an intermediate-pressure port, is performed and an operation stop request to stop the electric compressor is made. The operation stop section stops the electric motor after the deceleration section reduces the rotational speed of the electric motor. The restart section restarts the electric compressor when the operation stop request is canceled after the operation stop section stops the electric compressor.

A liquid-cooled rotary compressor includes a compressor main body having a compression chamber formed by a fixed wall and a rotating wall and compressing gas, and a liquid injection path for injecting a coolant into the compression chamber, and adjusts a discharge flow rate by changing a rotational speed of the rotating wall. The compressor includes a liquid amount adjusting unit that adjusts an amount of the coolant supplied from the liquid injection path to the compressor main body according to a change in the rotational speed of the rotating wall, and a compressed gas supply path that supplies compressed gas to a downstream side of the liquid amount adjusting unit in the liquid injection path. The compressed gas is supplied from the compressed gas supply path to the liquid injection path according to the amount of the coolant supplied to the compressor main body.
