An electric compressor includes a compression portion that compresses and discharges a drawn fluid, and a motor of the compression portion. The electric compressor includes an actuator that includes multiple electronic components and drives the motor, a first casing that accommodates the actuator, and a second casing that accommodates the compression portion and the motor. The second casing includes a discharge passage in which a high-temperature fluid compressed by the compression portion flows. A limiting structure that limits the heat transfer from the fluid flowing in the discharge passage is provided between one of the electronic components and the discharge passage. The limiting structure includes a seat portion that defines a gap between a bottom surface of the one of the plurality of electronic components and the discharge passage. According to the electric compressor, the heat transfer from the fluid to the electronic components can be limited.

A compressor includes a compression mechanism, a motor, a drive shaft, and a motor cooler. The compressor is configured to compress a working fluid. The motor dives the compression mechanism and is housed within a motor housing. The drive shaft is engaged with the motor and the compression mechanism and is configured to drive operation of the compression mechanism. The motor cooler is disposed adjacent the motor and is configured to pump a cooling working fluid around the motor. The motor cooler includes a pump that pumps the cooling working fluid into the motor housing based on a rotational speed of the drive shaft.

A motor-operated compressor includes a compression unit including a compression chamber formed by a plurality of scrolls engaged with each other. The compressor includes a rotation shaft having one end coupled to one of the scrolls and a rotor coupled with another end of the rotation shaft. The compressor includes a stator radially separated from the rotor by a predetermined gap. The compressor includes a casing having a motor chamber. The stator is inserted in the motor chamber and divides the motor chamber into a first space and a second space. The casing includes an inlet port coupled to the first space to guide a refrigerant toward the motor chamber. The casing also includes a suction guide passage coupled to the second space to guide the refrigerant sucked through the inlet port toward the compression unit. A communication passage portion in the rotation shaft communicates the first and second spaces.

A pump includes a casing defining an interior volume. The pump casing includes at least one balancing plate that can be part of a wall of the pump casing with each balancing plate including a protruding portion having two recesses. Each recess is configured to accept one end of a fluid driver. The balancing plate aligns the fluid displacement members with respect to each other such that the fluid displacement members can pump the fluid when rotated. The balancing plates can include cooling grooves connecting the respective recesses. The cooling grooves ensure that some of the liquid being transferred in the internal volume is directed to bearings disposed in the recesses as the fluid drivers rotate.

A scroll device includes a fixed scroll with a first involute and a first cooling chamber; an orbiting scroll with a second involute and a second cooling chamber, the orbiting scroll mounted to the fixed scroll via a mechanical coupling, the orbiting scroll configured to orbit relative to the fixed scroll around an orbital axis; a flexible conduit in fluid communication with the first cooling chamber and the second cooling chamber, the flexible conduit extending around the orbital axis from a first side of the scroll device to a second side of the scroll device; and an integrated aftercooler.

A slot includes a coil housing portion having first and second side portions and a bottom portion. A first straight line connects first and second points which are boundaries between the bottom portion and the side portions. A slot opening has third and fourth points closest to the first and second side portions. A second straight line connects the first and third points. A third straight line connects the second and fourth points. A first region is surrounded by the first straight line and the bottom portion. A second region is surrounded by the second straight line and the first side portion, and is surrounded by the third straight line and the second side portion. A third region is surrounded by the three straight lines. Areas A1, A2 and A3 of the three regions and total cross-sectional areas S1, S2, S3 of coils therein satisfy (S1/A1)>(S2/A2)>(S3/A3).

A flange is held by a peripheral wall of an intermediate housing member and a peripheral wall of a motor housing member. In this state, bolts are passed through the intermediate housing member and the flange and are threaded to a peripheral wall of the motor housing member, thereby integrally fixing a shaft support housing member to the intermediate housing member and the motor housing member. Thus, the shaft support housing member sufficiently receives the fastening force of the bolts. Vibration of the shaft support housing member is therefore easily suppressed. The intermediate housing member includes a peripheral wall. Thus, the intermediate housing member has a higher stiffness than in a case in which the intermediate housing member does not have the peripheral wall.

A rotor assembly and a compressor are provided. The rotor assembly has a crankshaft, a rotor core, a balance weight and an oil baffle shield. The rotor core is provided with a vent hole. The vent hole extends through the rotor core along an axial direction of the rotor core. The balance weight is located at one end of the rotor core approximate to an oil sump of the compressor. The oil baffle shield is arranged to cover the balance weight and is provided with a central opening. The crankshaft extends through the central opening. An accommodating space is defined between the oil baffle shield and the rotor core. The accommodating space is communicated with the vent hole.

A scroll device includes a fixed scroll with a first involute and a first cooling chamber; an orbiting scroll with a second involute and a second cooling chamber, the orbiting scroll mounted to the fixed scroll via a mechanical coupling, the orbiting scroll configured to orbit relative to the fixed scroll around an orbital axis; a flexible conduit in fluid communication with the first cooling chamber and the second cooling chamber, the flexible conduit extending around the orbital axis from a first side of the scroll device to a second side of the scroll device; and an integrated aftercooler.

A compressor includes a casing having a cylindrical barrel, a compression mechanism, and an electric motor. The electric motor has a tubular stator, and a rotor disposed inside the stator. The stator has a back yoke forming an outer peripheral portion of the stator, a plurality of teeth extending radially inward, and slots. A fluid passage extends between an outer peripheral surface of the stator and an inner peripheral surface of the barrel. The fluid passage has a plurality of wide portions arranged in a circumferential direction of the stator, and a narrow portion provided between adjacent ones of the wide portions. The narrow portion has a smaller radial width than each of the wide portions. Each wide portion is provided in the outer peripheral surface of the stator and between a core cut having a recessed groove shape between the slots and the inner peripheral surface of the barrel.
