The present disclosure is related to a slide valve, a slide valve adjustment mechanism and a screw compressor. The slide valve includes a static slide valve and a moving slide valve, wherein the static slide valve is fixedly installed in a slide valve cavity and an provided with an axially-penetrating valve hole; a plurality of bypass holes communicating with the valve hole (110) are formed in the sidewall of the static slide valve, and an exhaust port is formed in the sidewall of one end of the static slide valve. The slide valve may avoid scraping between the slide valve and a screw rotor and the slide valve cavity. Gaps between the slide valve and parts which cooperate with same are reduced, so that the leakage is reduced while the energy efficiency of the compressor is increased.

A screw compressor includes a casing, a motor provided in the casing, a screw rotor inserted into a cylinder in the casing, a bearing holder, a drive shaft, a first bearing, and a second bearing. The cylinder is formed on a lateral side of the motor. The bearing holder is disposed on an opposite side of the screw rotor from the motor and adjacent to the screw rotor. The drive shaft is connected to the motor and the screw rotor. The first bearing is disposed adjacent to the screw rotor. The second bearing is disposed adjacent to the motor in an axial direction of the drive shaft. At least a portion of the first bearing is disposed inside the screw rotor.

A screw compressor, method of operating, and refrigerant circuit are disclosed. The screw compressor includes a suction inlet that receives a working fluid to be compressed. A compression mechanism is fluidly connected to the suction inlet that compresses the working fluid. A discharge outlet is fluidly connected to the compression mechanism that outputs the working fluid following compression by the compression mechanism. A valve assembly is configured to vary a location at which the compression mechanism compresses the working fluid, the valve assembly being disposed to modify a suction location of the screw compressor.

A compressor system includes a screw compressor and a controller. The screw compressor includes a slide valve selectively actuatable between a first position and a second position to facilitate modulating a capacity of the screw compressor between fully-loaded and fully-unloaded. The controller is communicably coupled to the slide valve. The controller is configured to receive a chilled fluid temperature setpoint for a fluid in heat transfer communication with a refrigerant of the refrigeration circuit; receive temperature data indicative of a chilled fluid temperature of the fluid; determine a difference between the chilled fluid temperature and the chilled fluid temperature setpoint; and provide one of a load command and an unload command to the slide valve based the difference between the chilled fluid temperature and the chilled fluid temperature setpoint. According to an embodiment, the controller does not receive feedback from the screw compressor regarding a position of the slide valve.

Control flowrate regulating valve for a scroll compressor inside a vehicle air conditioner or a heat pump, the valve at least comprising: a housing; a closing member; and fluid connection parts for a control flowrate of back pressure, high pressure and suction pressure. Fluid connection parts having effective areas, of the closing member, assigned to the fluid connection parts. Control flowrate regulating valve has a fluid connection part, for peripheral pressure, and an effective area of the closing member. It is formed in a fluid-sealing manner for other chambers having high pressure, back pressure and suction pressure, such that the force, obtained from the pressures applied to the closing member, is applied to the closing member to allow the control flowrate, which moves from the high pressure to the suction pressure, to flow in a manner of forming the back pressure. Peripheral pressure is applied to the closing member.

A compressor system is provided that includes a contact cooled compressor and a coolant separator. The coolant separator is used to remove coolant fluid from a compressed flow stream produced by the contact cooled compressor during its operation. The coolant separator routes the removed coolant fluid back to the contact cooled compressor for further use. In some forms the coolant fluid is cooled prior to delivery back to the compressor. A stop valve can be provided in the coolant fluid return line to halt the flow of the fluid. A pressure sensitive member can be disposed to sense pressure of the coolant fluid that has been routed past the stop valve. Operation of the compressor can be changed as a result of the sensed pressure from the pressure sensitive member. Information from a temperature sensitive member can also be used to change operation of the compressor.
