Abstract:
A rotary compressor (100) includes a closed casing (1), a cylinder (15), a piston (28), a lower bearing member (72), a vane (33), a suction port (20), a discharge port (41), and a partition member (64). The partition member (64) is attached to the lower bearing member (72) so as to form a space enclosed by the partition member (64) and the lower bearing member (72) at a position adjacent to the lower bearing member (72). A portion of an oil stored in the oil reservoir (22) flows into the enclosed space, and thereby an oil retaining portion (53) is formed. The oil retaining portion (53) is located on the same side as the suction port (20) with respect to a reference plane (H 1 ).
Abstract:
A compressor (100) with a built-in expander comprises a closed container (1) in which an oil is stored at the bottom, a compressing mechanism (2) or an expanding mechanism (3) disposed at the inside upper part of the closed container (1), an expanding mechanism (3) or a compressing mechanism (2) disposed at the inside lower part of the closed container (1), a shaft (5) for connecting the compressing mechanism (2) to the expanding mechanism (3), and an oil pump (6) for supplying the oil (26) with which the space around the expanding mechanism (3) is filled to the compressing mechanism (2). The compressor (100) is characterized in that the oil pump (6) is disposed between the compressing mechanism (2) and the expanding mechanism (3). Since the oil is supplied to the mechanism positioned in the upper space without passing through the mechanism positioned at the lower space, heat transfer between the expanding mechanism (3) and the compressing mechanism (2) can be reduced.
Abstract:
An expander-integrated compressor (100A) has a compression mechanism (2), an expansion mechanism (3), a shaft (5), an oil pump (6), and an oil supply amount regulating mechanism (30). The compression mechanism (2) and the expansion mechanism (3) are coupled to each other by the shaft (5) so that mechanical power can be transmitted. The compression mechanism (2) and the expansion mechanism (3) are arrayed vertically in the closed casing (1). The oil pump (6) is provided at a lower portion of the shaft (5). An oil supply passage (29) is formed in the shaft (5) so as to extend in the axis direction. The oil supply amount regulating mechanism 30 controls the amount of the oil to be supplied by the oil pump (6) to the expansion mechanism (3).
Abstract:
A rotary compressor (100) includes a closed casing (1), a cylinder (15), a piston (28), a lower bearing member (7), a vane (33), a suction port (20), a discharge port (41), and a partition member (10). The partition member (10) is attached to the lower bearing member (7) so as to form a refrigerant discharge space (52) serving as a flow path of a refrigerant discharged from a discharge chamber (26b) through the discharge port (41). The lower bearing member (7) is provided with a first recess (7t) on the same side as the suction port (20) with respect to a reference plane, the reference plane being a plane including a central axis of the cylinder (15) and a center of the vane (33) when the vane (33) protrudes maximally toward the central axis of the cylinder (15). A portion of oil stored in an oil reservoir (22) flows into the first recess (7t), and thereby an oil retaining portion (53) is formed.
Abstract:
A fin tube heat exchanger (100) includes fins (31) and heat transfer tubes (21). Each of the fins (31) has a flat portion (35), a first inclined portion (36), and a second inclined portion (38). A length of the fin (31) in a gas flow direction is defined as S1, a center-to-center distance between the heat transfer tubes in a row direction is defined as S2, a diameter of the flat portion (35) is defined as D1, a flat plane passing through an upstream end and a downstream end of the fin (31) in the gas flow direction is defined as a reference plane H1, an angle between the reference plane H1 and the first inclined portion (36) is defined as θ1, an angle between the reference plane H1 and the second inclined portion (38) is defined as θ2, and a distance from the reference plane H1 to the flat portion (35) is defined as α. The fin tube heat exchanger (100) satisfies a relationship: tan -1 {(S1 • tanθ1 ± 2α)/(S2 - D1)} ≤ θ2
Abstract:
A gas liquid separator (1A) includes: a sealed container (2) including an upper cover portion (21), a tubular portion (22), and a lower cover portion (23); and three pipes extending from the outside of the sealed container (2) to the inside thereof, that is, a first pipe (3A), a second pipe (3B), and a gas outlet pipe (4). A guide member (5) that forms an inflow space (11) between the guide member (5) and the upper cover portion (21) and forms a flow passage (15) for a two-layer flow F between the guide member (5) and the inner peripheral face of the tubular portion (22) is disposed in the sealed container (2). The first pipe (3A) and the second pipe (3B) are configured such that when one of the first pipe (3A) and the second pipe (3B) is used to introduce a gas-liquid two-phase fluid into the inflow space (11) from outside the sealed container (2), the other one is used to discharge a liquid in a liquid reservoir (13) from the sealed container (2) through a liquid outlet port (31 or 32) of the other one while forming a liquid surface at a level above the liquid outlet port (31 or 32).
Abstract:
A refrigeration cycle apparatus 100 includes a compressor 2, a radiator 3, a positive displacement fluid machine 4, an evaporator 7 and an injection flow passage 10f. The positive displacement fluid machine 4 performs (i) a step of drawing, at a first pressure, a refrigerant into a working chamber, (ii) a step of expanding the drawn refrigerant to a second pressure lower than the first pressure and overexpanding further the refrigerant to a third pressure lower than the second pressure, (iii) a step of supplying, through an injection port 30, the refrigerant having the third pressure to the working chamber so as to mix the supplied refrigerant with the overexpanded refrigerant, (iv) a step of recompressing, in the working chamber, the mixed refrigerant to the second pressure by using power recovered from the refrigerant in the step (ii), and (v) a step of discharging the recompressed refrigerant from the working chamber.

A refrigeration cycle apparatus 100 includes a compressor 2, a radiator 3, a positive displacement fluid machine 4, an evaporator 7, an injection flow passage 10f and a controller 102. The positive displacement fluid machine 4 performs a step of drawing a refrigerant, a step of expanding and overexpanding the drawn refrigerant, a step of supplying, through an injection port 30, the refrigerant to a working chamber so as to mix the supplied refrigerant with the overexpanded refrigerant, a step of recompressing the mixed refrigerant by using power recovered from the refrigerant, and a step of discharging the recompressed refrigerant. The controller 102 executes an activation control for allowing a pressure in the injection flow passage 10f to be a pressure equal to an outlet pressure of the compressor 2 at time of activation of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 100.
Abstract:
A rotating shaft (56) of a compression mechanism (21) and a rotating shaft (36) of an expansion mechanism (22) are connected at a connection section (80), and oil feeding paths (38, 68) are formed inside the rotating shafts (36, 56), respectively. The periphery of the connection section (80) is covered by an upper bearing (42). Lubricating oil is prevented from flowing out from the connection section (80).
