A device for driving a compressor of a gaseous fluid, in particular an electric motor. The device comprises a rotor and a stator which are disposed extending along a common longitudinal axis. A carrier element is disposed in contact on a first end side, oriented in an axial direction, of the stator, which carrier element comprises at least one resiliently deformable pressure element with a contact region. The pressure element is developed extending with an extent in the axial direction and, in a mounted state of the device, is in contact with the contact region on a mating surface under resilient deformation. A method for mounting and a use of the device is also provided.

In a refrigerant compressor including a sealed container in which refrigerating machine oil is stored, a shaft part that includes a main shaft and an eccentric shaft, or a bearing part that includes a main bearing and an eccentric bearing, is provided with tapered portions, the tapered portions being respectively formed on one end side and another end side of the shaft part or the bearing part in an axial direction of the bearing part such that a diameter of the shaft part or the bearing part changes from an outer side toward a central side in a longitudinal direction of a crankshaft, each tapered portion allowing the shaft part and the bearing part to come into line contact with each other in a state where an axis of the shaft part is tilted relative to an axis of the bearing part. A ratio C/D, which is a ratio of a clearance C between the shaft part and the bearing part to a diameter D of the shaft part, is set to a value within a range of not less than 4.0×10.sup.−4 and not greater than 3.0×10.sup.−3. A taper depth dB of each tapered portion is set to a value not less than 2.0×10.sup.−3 mm. In a combination of the shaft part and the bearing part corresponding thereto, a ratio G/D, which is a ratio of a maximum gap G to the diameter D of the shaft part, is set to a value not greater than 4.0×10.sup.−3. The maximum gap G is a sum of the clearance C and a total value of the taper depths d.sub.B.

A packaged compressor with enhanced electric motor coolability includes an electric motor having an axial direction that lies in a horizontal direction; a compressor body; a housing that houses the electric motor and the compressor body; a cooling air inlet formed through a side surface of the housing; a cooling air outlet formed through an upper surface of the housing; and a cooling fan arranged on a side of the electric motor such that an axial direction of the cooling fan lies in a horizontal direction and crosses the axial direction of the electric motor. The cooling fan has a diameter greater than the height dimension of the electric motor and it's its axial-direction projection plane includes a portion overlapping the electric motor, a portion positioned above the electric motor and not overlapping the electric motor, and a portion positioned below the electric motor and not overlapping the electric motor.

The multi-compressor system (7) has a plurality of parallelly coupled compressors (8); inlet connection lines (15) each connected to a refrigerant suction fitting of a respective compressor (8); outlet connection lines (17) each connected to a refrigerant discharge fitting of a respective compressor (8); a common oil balancing line (18) and balancing connection lines (19) each connecting the common oil balancing line (18) to an oil balancing connection (21) of a respective compressor (8); and spring-loaded normally-open valves (25) each being arranged within a respective balancing connection line (19) or within an oil balancing connection (21) of a respective compressor (8) and each being configured to close when a pressure difference between a pressure prevailing in the low pressure volume of the respective compressor (8) and a pressure prevailing in the common oil balancing line (18) reaches a predetermined value.

A compressor includes a compression mechanism that compresses refrigerant, and an electromotive mechanism that drives the compression mechanism. A shell accommodates the compression mechanism and the electromotive mechanism, with a reservoir inside the shell and that stores mixed liquid including liquid refrigerant and refrigerating machine oil. An electrode is provided inside the reservoir and faces an inner surface of the shell.

A lubricant-sealed vacuum pump configured to pump fluid from an inlet to an exhaust, method and filter are disclosed. The lubricant-sealed vacuum pump comprises: a rotor; a filter for filtering lubricant from fluid to be output by the pump; control circuitry for controlling a speed of rotation of the rotor, the control circuitry being configured to control rotation of the rotor, such that the rotor rotates at a reduced speed initially when a pressure at the inlet is high and rotates at a higher operational speed when the pressure at the inlet has reduced.

A hermetic compressor is provided. The hermetic compressor may include a compressor body spaced apart from an inner surface of a shell and including a motor unit and a compression unit; at least one support spring provided between the shell and the compressor body and that elastically supports the compressor body with respect to the shell; at least one stopper cap fixed to the inner surface of the shell or the compressor body facing the inner surface of the shell; and a stopper bar that extends from the compressor body or the inner surface of the shell and inserted into the at least one stopper cap with a predetermined distance therebetween. By mechanically restraining vibration of the compressor body and limiting amplitude of the compressor body, vibration noise of the compressor body may be reduced and the compressor body may be suppressed from being in contact with the shell to thereby prevent damage to the compressor body.

A compressor includes: a driving unit including a stator, a rotor, and a rotary shaft provided in the rotor, having an oil guide path formed at an inner side in a radius direction; a compression unit coupled to the rotary shaft, having a cylinder and a piston reciprocating in the cylinder by a driving force of the driving unit; and an oil supply unit coupled to a lower end of the rotary shaft, supplying oil toward the compression unit. The oil supply unit includes a rotary portion for supplying oil toward the oil guide path while being rotated together with the rotary shaft and a fixed portion having an inner space partitioned to accommodate at least a portion of the rotary portion, and the oil guide path is formed to pass through the rotary shaft along a length direction.

A linear compressor includes a housing defining a sump for collecting a lubricant and a pump for circulating a flow of lubricant within the housing. A heat dissipation or heat exchange assembly includes a plate mounted on a lower portion of the housing to define one or more fluid passageways between the plate and the housing. Hot oil is collected from the working components of the linear compressor and is passed through the one or more fluid passageways to discharge heat through the housing before the oil is returned to the sump.

The invention in question pertains to the technological field of refrigeration compressors. A hermetic compressor for positive displacement is disclosed whose airtight housing is specially altered so that its natural frequencies of vibration are distributed at frequencies above 4200 Hz and whose “capacitance density” is greater than 160 W/L.
