Screw compressor having slide valve with crescent-shaped valve body and cylindrical guide portion
11261865 · 2022-03-01 · ·

A screw compressor includes screw and gate rotors, a cylindrical wall, and a slide valve including a valve body and a guide portion. The valve body extends in an axial direction of the cylindrical wall and has a crescent shape in a cross section in a perpendicular direction to the axial direction. A radius of curvature of an inner arc shaped curved surface of the crescent shape is substantially equal to a radius of curvature of an inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall. A radius of curvature of an outer arc shaped curved surface of the crescent shape is smaller than the radius of curvature of the inner arc shaped curved surface, and a central angle of the outer arc shaped curved surface is 180° or less. The guide portion allows movement of the valve body in the axial direction and restricts movement in the perpendicular direction.

The present disclosure relates to a dual-stage compressor, a control method thereof, and an air conditioning unit. The dual-stage compressor includes a low-pressure stage; a high-pressure stage connected in series with the low-pressure stage; and a volume ratio adjustment mechanism arranged at the high-pressure stage and configured to adjust the volume ratio of refrigerant compression at the high-pressure stage. When the final compression pressure of the compressor is lower or greater than the exhaust pressure, the volume ratio adjustment mechanism is operated to increase or reduce the volume ratio of refrigerant compression at the high-pressure stage so that the final compression pressure of the compressor is equal to the exhaust pressure, and overcompression and undercompression are improved to adapt to changes in external conditions, increase the energy efficiency of the compressor, and reduce the noise of the compressor.

Screw compressor slide valve and screw compressor with gas pulsation attenuation function
20220042510 · 2022-02-10 ·

A screw compressor slide valve with gas pulsation attenuation function includes valve walls and internal through holes. A screw compressor includes the screw compressor slide valve. A part of exhausted gas of the screw compressor is directly discharged from an exhaust port to an exhaust chamber to form a main exhaust flow channel; another part of the exhausted gas is discharged from the exhaust port into the exhaust chamber after being delayed by the internal through holes, which forms a branched exhaust flow channel. Since the branched exhaust flow channel is longer than the main exhaust flow channel, when the gas pulsation in the branched exhaust flow channel lags behind that in the main exhaust flow channel by 180-degree in phase, two gas pulsations in the two flow channels are offset due to opposite gas pulsation phases, which attenuates the gas pulsation, thereby suppressing induced vibration and noise.

METHOD OF MONITORING A VOLUME INDEX VALVE OF A COMPRESSOR AND DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
20210381505 · 2021-12-09 ·

A method of monitoring a volume index valve of a compressor is provided. The method includes recording a first reading of an operating condition of the compressor when the volume index valve is in a first position. The method also includes switching the volume index valve to a second position. The method further includes recording a second reading of the operating condition of the compressor when the volume index valve is in the second position. The method yet further includes calculating a difference between the first reading and the second reading. The method also includes comparing the difference to a predetermined threshold difference to determine if the volume index valve is moving between the first position and the second position in a desired manner.
