A scroll compressor is disclosed. The compressor includes an enclosure including a compression mechanism that compresses a working fluid. A discharge port discharges a compressed working fluid. A discharge plenum receives the compressed working fluid from the discharge port. A pulsation absorber is disposed within the discharge plenum, the pulsation absorber dividing the discharge plenum into a plurality of volumes.

Volumetric compressor (1) for collection and/or treatment equipment of material in liquid, solid, dusty or muddy form. The compressor (1) comprises an operative chamber (50), defining a suction section and an exhaust section of a first fluid, a first header (61) and a second header (62), which delimit said chamber (50) on opposite parts along a longitudinal axis (101). The compressor further comprises at least two rotors (80, 80) with lobes (81, 81) housed in the chamber (50), each rotor (80, 80) rotating about a rotation axis (108, 108) substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis (101). The lobes of each rotor develop according to a helical profile. Furthermore, each of the headers (61,62) defines at least one injection opening (71, 71,72,72) communicating with a feeding device (150) of a second fluid.

The present application provides a slide valve, wherein the slide valve is configured to regulate a load of a twin-screw compressor. The slide valve comprises a slide valve body, wherein the slide valve body has a connecting end and a free end, the connecting end is configured to connect to a slide valve connecting rod of the twin-screw compressor, and the slide valve is driven to slide by the slide valve connecting rod. A cavity is formed in the free end of the slide valve body, and the slide valve has a passage configured to fluidly couple the cavity with an external fluid to reduce air flow pulsations on a suction side of the twin-screw compressor and thereby reduce overall air flow pulsations in the twin-screw compressor.

The scroll compression device includes a first scroll element (11) having a first base plate (13) and a first spiral wrap (14); a second scroll element (12) having a second base plate (15) and a second spiral wrap (16), one of the first and second scroll elements (11, 12) being configured to perform an orbiting movement in relation to the other one of the first and second scroll elements, the first and second scroll elements (11, 12) intermeshing with each other and delimiting compression chambers (17); and a sealing device (28) arranged in an end face (19) of the first spiral wrap (14) and having a sealing surface configured to cooperate with the second base plate (15). The sealing device (28) is configured to allow fluid flow from an upstream compression chamber to a downstream compression chamber through the sealing surface when the pressure in the upstream compression chamber exceeds the pressure in the downstream compression chamber, and the sealing device (28) is configured to prevent fluid flow from a downstream compression chamber to an upstream compression chamber through the sealing surface when the pressure in the downstream compression chamber exceeds the pressure in the upstream compression chamber.

In a rotary compressor, a lower end plate includes a lower discharge valve that opens and closes a lower discharge hole, a lower discharge-valve accommodating recessed portion in which the lower discharge valve is accommodated, and a lower discharge-chamber recessed portion that is formed so as to overlap with the lower discharge hole side of the lower discharge-valve accommodating recessed portion and communicates with a refrigerant passage hole. A lower end plate cover is formed in a flat-plate shape and is provided with a bulging portion having a portion facing the lower discharge hole. An upper end-plate cover chamber is formed by the lower discharge-valve accommodating recessed portion, the lower discharge-chamber recessed portion, and the bulging portion. The bulging portion has a volume of 1/18 or greater and 1/9 or less of a total of air volumes of an upper compression chamber and a lower compression chamber.

An aspect of the present disclosure includes a multi-stage compressor having a low pressure compressor stage and a high pressure compressor stage operable for compressing a working fluid. An integrated device including a heat exchanger directly connected to a combination unit is operable for reducing pressure pulsations, cooling and separating moisture in a first compressed flow stream and a second compressed flow stream discharged from the low pressure stage and the high pressure stage respectively. A first pressure pulsation dampener, a first moisture separator, a second pressure pulsation dampener and a second moisture separator are integrally formed within the combination unit.

A lower end plate includes: bolt holes through which bolts penetrate; a lower discharge valve; a lower discharge-valve accommodating recessed portion into which the lower discharge valve is accommodated; and a lower discharge-chamber recessed portion. A lower end plate cover is provided with a bulging portion. A lower end-plate cover chamber is formed by the lower discharge-valve accommodating recessed portion, the lower discharge-chamber recessed portion, and the bulging portion. Refrigerant passage holes include main refrigerant passage holes provided on the lower discharge-chamber recessed portion, and sub-refrigerant passage holes provided between the bolt hole and the lower discharge-valve accommodating recessed portion away from the lower discharge-valve accommodating recessed portion. The bulging portion is, in a cross section orthogonal to a rotating shaft, formed so as to overlap with at least a part of each of the main refrigerant passage holes and the sub-refrigerant passage holes.

In order to further improve the sound damping in a refrigerant compressor comprising a common housing, a screw-type compressor in a common housing has a compressor housing that is formed as part of the common housing with a first sound absorber unit which is arranged in the common housing. The first sound absorber unit is arranged adjacent a housing window, and the sound absorber unit comprises at least one chamber which is located between an inlet opening and an outlet opening and which widens out relative to the inlet opening and to the outlet opening in a direction transverse to a direction of flow.

Integrated rotary positive-displacement machinery, for example compressors and/or vacuum pumps, include a compressor core equipped with at least one shunt pulsation trap and at least one absorptive silencer integrated together along with other compressor components (such as inlet/outlet pulsation dampeners, gas filters, safety valves, etc.) into a unit or package with a reduced pulsation, noise, energy consumption, and size and weight. Some embodiments further include at least one 4-way valve and corresponding piping so that the same positive-displacement machine can be operated to selectively provide vacuum and pressure by operation of the valve and piping.

A fluid ring compressor comprises a first single-acting compression stage having a first impeller eccentrically mounted in a housing and a second single-acting compression stage having a second impeller eccentrically mounted in a housing. The first compression stage and the second compression stage are separated from one another by a sealing gap. The sealing gap is arranged between a suction section of the first compression stage and a suction section of the second compression stage.
