A compressor system can include a lubricant injection system useful to supply lubricant to an airend. The compressor system can include a variable lubricant flow valve which can be regulated by a controller on the basis of operating conditions of the compressor system. In one form the compressor system also includes an oil separator and/or an oil cooler with or without a them al control valve. The controller can have one or more modes of operation, including a mode in which the controller regulates the flow of lubricant to the airend to increase an internal flow area of the valve when the airend is operated at an unloaded or loaded condition. In some forms the controller can regulate the lubricant flow valve and/or the thermal control valve and/or the lubricant cooler.

Provided is a scroll compressor that can prevent liquid from being accumulated, the scroll compressor including: a fixed scroll; an orbiting scroll; and a rotation shaft that extends in the horizontal direction and causes the orbiting scroll to orbit relative to the fixed scroll. Liquid is injected into a working chamber. An enclosing point of a working chamber formed near the outer end of a fixed wrap of the fixed scroll is positioned below a center of the rotation shaft and at the lowest point of the contour of the working chamber having shifted to the lowest position. The fixed scroll has an inclined wall surface that is positioned below the center of the rotation shaft, is made to face upward, and extends from the dust wrap to the outer end of the fixed wrap. The inclined wall surface is formed so as to be sloped down gradually from the dust wrap toward the outer end of the fixed wrap.

A scroll compressor includes a compressor housing, an orbiting scroll member, a non-orbiting scroll member, an economizer injection inlet, and a discharge outlet. The orbiting scroll member and the non-orbiting scroll member are disposed within the compressor housing. The orbiting scroll member and the non-orbiting scroll member are intermeshed thereby forming a compression chamber within the compressor housing. The non-orbiting scroll includes at least one compression inlet port. An economizer injection inlet is formed through the compressor housing and in fluid communication with the compression chamber via the at least one compression inlet port. The discharge outlet is in fluid communication with the compression chamber.

A rotary piston compressor/pump/blower includes a housing spatially limiting a working chamber, an intake connection for guiding fluid into the working chamber, a pressure connection for guiding the fluid out of the working chamber, and a rotor assembly having a first rotor rotatably arranged in a first working sub-chamber and a second rotor cooperating with the first rotor and rotatably arranged in a second working sub-chamber. The rotary piston compressor/pump/blower also includes a ventilation channel, formed in the housing and connected to the working chamber via a ventilation channel opening, for the temporally limited introducing of air into the working chamber, wherein the ventilation channel opening is open at least in sections, in particular completely open, in a compression phase.

A scroll compressor includes a housing; a motor provided in the housing; a rotating shaft rotated by the motor; an orbital scroll orbital moved by the rotating shaft; a fixed scroll forming a compression chamber together with the orbital scroll; an injection flow path guiding an intermediate pressure refrigerant from an outside of the housing to the compression chamber; and an injection valve assembly opening and closing the injection flow path, wherein the injection valve assembly includes a cover plate having an inlet through which the intermediate pressure refrigerant is introduced, an injection valve opening and closing the inlet, and a valve plate having an outlet guiding the refrigerant that has passed through the injection valve toward the compression chamber. Thereby, an amount of refrigerant discharged from the compression chamber is increased, and thus the performance and efficiency of the compressor may be improved.

Provided are a vapor injection device and a compressor. The vapor injection device includes an injector valve plate, an injector plate, and an injector reed valve. One side of the injector plate facing toward the injector valve plate is provided with an avoidance groove. A guide post is disposed protruding from one side of the injector plate facing away from the injector valve plate. The guide post is inserted into a fixed scroll of the compressor and provided with an injection channel. A vapor injection inlet cavity is formed between the rear housing, the injector valve plate, and the fixed scroll. The injector reed valve is disposed between the injector valve plate and the injector plate and attaches to the injector valve plate, the injector reed valve is provided with a movable sheet, and the movable sheet, the injector valve plate and the avoidance groove form a one-way valve structure.

A cylindrical symmetric volumetric machine, includes a housing (2) with an inlet opening (3) and an outlet opening (4), with an outer rotor (6a) which is mounted rotatably in the housing (2) and an inner rotor (6b) which is mounted rotatably in the outer rotor (6a), whereby liquid is injected in the machine (1). At the outlet opening (4) on the level of the inner rotor (6b) and outer rotor (6a) a liquid separation takes place, whereby the separated liquid ends up in the machine (1) again, and in that the outer rotor (6a) has an axial extension (17) on the level of the outlet opening (4) which extends around this outlet opening (4) almost up against the housing (2) such that a space (19) is located between the axial extension (17) and the housing (2).

Provided is a screw compressor including a screw rotor configured to compress a gas due to rotation of the screw rotor about an axis of the screw rotor and a casing housing the screw rotor rotatably and provided with a suction port for a gas, the casing being provided with a suction side space through which a gas flowing into the casing from the suction port and not yet sucked by the screw rotor flows. The casing is provided with a heating fluid passage for introducing a heating fluid into the suction side space so as to heat oil staying in the suction side space.

A valve assembly forms a check valve for a scroll compressor including a fixed scroll having a pair of injection ports fluidly coupled to a compression mechanism. The valve assembly includes a valve body having a pair of flow paths with each of the flow paths fluidly coupled to a corresponding one of the injection ports. An injection plate has a pair of injection holes. A reed structure is disposed between the injection plate and the valve body with the reed structure including a pair of reeds. Each of the reeds is configured to selectively provide fluid communication between a corresponding one of the injection holes and a corresponding one of the injection ports. A valve gasket is disposed between the reed structure and the valve body and includes a pair of flaps with each of the flaps configured to selectively contact a corresponding one of the reeds.
