A scroll plate for use in a scroll compressor is described. The scroll plate comprises a base plate having a first side and a second side, wherein the second side opposes the first side, and a spiral wrap formed on the first side of the base plate, wherein the base plate comprises one or more recesses and wherein an insulating material is located in at least one of the one or more recesses. Further, a scroll compressor having a corresponding scroll plate is described.

A scroll compressor of the present disclosure 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; and a fixed scroll forming a compression chamber together with the orbital scroll, wherein the housing includes a center housing through which the rotating shaft passes; a front housing forming a motor accommodating space in which the motor is accommodated; and a rear housing having a discharge chamber accommodating a refrigerant discharged from the compression chamber, a discharge port guiding the refrigerant of the discharge chamber to an outside of the housing, an introduction port into which an intermediate pressure refrigerant is introduced from the outside of the housing, and an introduction chamber accommodating the refrigerant introduced through the introduction port, and wherein the fixed scroll comprises an injection hole guiding the refrigerant of the introduction chamber to 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.

Oil-injected multistage compressor device including a low-pressure compressor element (2) with a gas inlet (4a) for gas to be compressed and a gas outlet (5a) for low-pressure compressed gas and a high-pressure stage compressor element (3) with a gas inlet (4b) for low-pressure compressed gas and a gas outlet (5b) for high-pressure compressed gas. The gas outlet (5a) of element (2) is connected to inlet (4b) of element (3) via a conduit (6). The conduit (6) has a regulatable intercooler (9) configured to regulate the temperature at the gas inlet (4b) of the high-pressure stage compressor element (3) so that it is above the dew point. The intercooler (9) includes a regulatable air cooler and/or a regulatable water cooler, and is configured to adjust the temperature of the air or water by using a bypass conduit (16) and/or by screening off part of the intercooler (9).

A compressor body includes a compression mechanism including a screw rotor that compresses gas, a casing that accommodates the compression mechanism and defines a compression working chambers therein, a suction side bearing that rotatably supports the screw rotor, a bearing chamber that accommodates the suction side bearing, and a liquid supply port that communicates with the compression working chambers and supplies liquid supplied from the outside of the casing into the compression working chambers. The casing has an internal liquid supply flow path that extends from a discharge side of the compression working chambers as an upstream side to a suction side of the compression working chambers as a downstream side and that supplies the liquid to the liquid supply port. The internal liquid supply flow path has a downstream portion reaching the bearing chamber and supplies the liquid to the suction side bearing.

A positive displacement device that converts energy, namely positive displacement compressors that rotate in a single rotational direction to displace working fluid contained in operating chambers. The device described herein is particularity advantageous for the ability to achieve high compression ratios in combination with high discharge pressure and high volumetric throughput in a single stage.

A compressor may include first and second scrolls, an axial biasing chamber, and a modulation control valve. The second scroll includes an outer port and an inner port. The outer and inner ports may be open to respective intermediate-pressure compression pockets. The modulation control valve may be in fluid communication with the inner port, the outer port, and the axial biasing chamber. Movement of the modulation control valve into a first position switches the compressor into a reduced-capacity mode and allows fluid communication between the inner port and the axial biasing chamber while preventing fluid communication between the outer port and the axial biasing chamber. Movement of the modulation control valve into a second position switches the compressor into a full-capacity mode and allows fluid communication between the outer port and the axial biasing chamber while preventing fluid communication between the inner port and the axial biasing chamber.
