At least one of the first cylindrical extension and the second cylindrical extension may comprise a plurality of permanent magnets and operate as a rotor of a first motor. An Oldham ring may be positioned between the first scroll and the second scroll and configured to maintain a relative angular position between the first scroll and the second scroll.

A compressor includes a shell assembly, a muffler plate and a compression mechanism. The shell assembly has a suction chamber and a discharge chamber. The muffler plate is disposed within the shell assembly and separates the suction chamber from the discharge chamber. The muffler plate includes a hub having a circumferentially extending inner portion and a circumferentially extending intermediate portion. The circumferentially extending inner portion defines a discharge passage extending therethrough. The circumferentially extending intermediate portion has a slot formed in a surface thereof. The slot extends at least partially around the circumferentially extending intermediate portion. The compression mechanism is disposed within the suction chamber and provides working fluid to the discharge chamber via the discharge passage of muffler plate.

An oil-free scroll air compressor, includes two fixed scrolls and a movable scroll with scroll wraps on both sides. The fixed scrolls each are provided on an end surface thereof with scroll wraps. The movable scroll with scroll wraps on both sides is provided on both end surfaces thereof with scroll wraps. The two fixed scrolls and the movable scroll with scroll wraps on both sides together form two gas compression channels located on two sides. The scroll warps on a same end surface are configured as a double-parallel-groove structure, which further divides the gas compression channel on the same side into two gas compression channels, thereby increasing displacement of the scroll air compressor. After a gas is introduced through a gas inlet on a circumferential surface of the fixed scroll, the gas is compressed in multiple compression channels and then discharged from a center of the scroll air compressor.

A scroll compressor includes: a rotary shaft; a compression mechanism including an orbiting scroll and a non-orbiting scroll, an extension portion of the orbiting scroll engaging with an eccentric structure of the rotary shaft via a bushing and a driving bearing having an axial height L1; and a counterweight located on the bushing, a mass center of the counterweight being located above an axial lower end of the driving bearing and having an axial distance L2 to the axial center of the driving bearing, and the ratio R of the axial distance L2 to the axial height L1 satisfying: 0.1≤R≤0.4. The scroll compressor can reduce the contact and wear between the bushing and the driving bearing and reduce the requirements for the manufacturing precision and the mounting precision of components such as the counterweight and the bushing, achieving optimized system design.

A scroll compressor including a housing, a motor provided in the housing, a rotary shaft rotated by the motor, an orbiting scroll configured to orbit in conjunction with the rotary shaft, and a fixed scroll configured to define compression chambers together with the orbiting scroll, in which the housing includes a center housing penetrated by the rotary shaft, a front housing configured to define, together with the center housing, a motor accommodation space that accommodates the motor, and a rear housing configured to define a discharge chamber that accommodates a refrigerant discharged from the compression chamber, and an injection valve assembly provided between the fixed scroll and the rear housing, and the injection valve assembly includes an anti-leakage means and an injection valve configured to open or close an injection flow path that guides the refrigerant, which is introduced from outside of the housing, to the compression chamber.

A method of manufacturing a suction pipe for a multi-compressor device having a plurality of inlets, the suction pipe comprising a primary portion and a plurality of secondary portions arranged to receive fluid from the primary portion for supplying fluid in parallel to the inlets of a multi-compressor device. The method includes designing the suction pipe by: selecting a first dimension for the primary portion of the suction pipe, calculating a first fluid velocity for fluid in the primary portion based on the first dimension, and comparing the first fluid velocity to a first predetermined threshold; selecting a second dimension for the secondary portions, calculating a second fluid velocity for fluid in the secondary portions based on the second dimension, and comparing the second fluid velocity to a second predetermined threshold; and calculating a ratio of the first fluid velocity to the second fluid velocity.

A scroll compressor includes a first scroll member, a second scroll member, and an aerostatic thrust bearing. The aerostatic thrust bearing forms a layer of gas between the second scroll member and a fixed supporting member to support the second scroll member as the second scroll member rotates and/or orbits. Also disclosed is a method of supporting a rotating/orbiting scroll member in a scroll compressor. The method including supplying pressurized gas to an aerostatic thrust bearing such that a layer of gas is formed between the rotating/orbiting scroll member and a fixed supporting member.

A plurality of scroll compressors with different fixed volume indexes are connected in fluid parallel circuit and configured to selectively operate to maximize isentropic efficiency at different condensing temperatures. Different quantities of scroll compressors of different volume indexes may be selected based upon typical climate or geographic location environmental conditions to attempt to maximize efficiency. A controller may selectively operate different combinations of the compressors of different volume indexes bases up load demands and condensing temperature conditions, which may be determined in a variety of ways.

A stator assembly includes a stator core defined by an inner periphery and an outer periphery, and a plurality of coils. The stator core includes a stator yoke. Each coil of the plurality of coils includes a first set of segments and a second set of segments each extending between the inner periphery and the outer periphery of the stator core. The first set of segments is arranged to form a first coil portion having a “V” shape and the second set of segments is arranged to form a second coil portion having a “V” shape. The first coil portion and the second coil portion each have a vertex and two ends. The ends of the first coil portion are coupled to the ends of the second coil portion. Other example stators, and example dynamoelectric machines and compressors including one or more stators are also disclosed.

There is disclosed a scroll compressor according to the present disclosure in which a discharge port is formed at a central portion thereof, and a pair of two compression chambers continuously moving toward the discharge port are formed, and a plurality of bypass portions are formed at each interval along a movement path of each compression chamber in the both compression chambers, and compression gradients of the both compression chambers are formed to be different from each other, wherein when an interval between a bypass portion closest to the discharge port and another bypass portion adjacent to the bypass portion among the bypass portions of each compression chamber is defined as a first interval, respectively, a first interval of a second bypass portion belonging to a compression chamber having a relatively larger compression gradient is formed to be smaller than that of a first bypass portion belonging to the other compression chamber between the both compressor chambers.
