A system to equalize pressure connected to a compressor for use in HVAC&R system is provided. The system includes a component in fluid communication between a high pressure side and an intermediate pressure side of the compressor. The component is configured to permit flow of refrigerant between the high pressure side and the intermediate pressure side at least when the compressor is not in operation.

A two-stage reciprocating compressor is provided. The compressor includes a block with a single cylinder and associated single compression chamber and single piston. The compressor further includes a crankshaft. The crankshaft has an eccentric crankpin that is operatively connected to the piston. A reversible motor is provided to rotate the crankshaft in a forward direction and in a reverse direction. An eccentric cam is rotatably mounted on the eccentric crankpin. The eccentric cam is held stationary with respect to the crankpin when the crankshaft is rotating in the forward direction. When rotating in the forward direction, the crankshaft drives the piston at a full stroke between a bottom position and a top dead center position. The eccentric cam rotates with respect to the crankpin when the crankshaft is rotating in the reverse direction. When rotating in the reverse direction, the crankshaft drives the piston at a reduced stroke between an intermediate position and the top dead center position.

For a refrigerant compressor having two capacities, a camming structure operable in different manners depending on direction of crankshaft rotation, to achieve each capacity while providing top dead center piston operation thru the use of a circular cam bushing which is eccentrically, rotatably mounted on the crankshaft eccentric and within the connecting rod bearing wherein the combined eccentricities of the bushing and the eccentric equal the primary stroke of the piston. A first stop mechanism is provided for stabilizing the bushing on the eccentric upon rotation of the crankshaft in one direction whereby the eccentricities of the eccentric and bushing become aligned and remain so during synchronous rotational orbiting motion of the eccentric and bushing during rotation of the crankshaft for producing full stroke and full capacity. A second stop mechanism is provided for stabilizing the bushing within the bearing upon opposite rotation of the crankshaft whereby the bushing eccentricity becomes and remains substantially aligned with the connecting rod stroke axis while the eccentric moves alone thru its rotational orbit for producing reduced stroke and reduced capacity. A unique electrical control system is also provided for a reversible electric induction motor for selectively and efficiently driving the compressor crankshaft in either direction for providing the different capacities.

An electrical control system for a variable capacity compressor having an A/C motor is provided. The control system includes a first circuit that has a start winding in series with a capacitor, a second circuit that has a main winding. The control system also includes a third circuit that includes the start winding and a fourth circuit that includes the main winding in series with the capacitor. There is also provided a power supply line that provides power to each of the circuits. The control system further includes a first switch and a second switch, both of which are responsive to loading conditions. The first switch operates to connect the first and second circuits with the power supply line to run the compressor for high load operation and the second switch operates to connect the third and fourth circuits with the power supply line to run the compressor for partial load operation.

An automatic self-modulation capacity compressor for an HVAC&R system is disclosed. The system includes a housing, a compressor, a motor, and a pressure sensitive control valve. The HVAC&R system further comprises an expander and a condenser. In the open position, the control valve permits a portion of the pressurized gasses from the compressor to escape, creating a partial capacity compressor within the system. Once a predetermined set point pressure differential is met, the control valve moves to the closed position, where all of the pressurized gasses within the compressor are provided to the system, thereby creating a full capacity compressor. Once the compressor is operating in full capacity, the compressor remains in full capacity mode until the demands of the system are met and the compressor shuts down. Upon restart, the compressor operates in partial capacity until the predetermined set point pressure is met once again and the compressor begins operating in full capacity.

A stabilizing structure for a throw adjusting eccentric cam in a two-stage reciprocating compressor is provided. The compressor includes a block that has at least one cylinder with an associated compression chamber and piston, a crankshaft that includes an eccentric crankpin, and a reversible motor for rotating the crankshaft in a forward and a reverse direction. An eccentric, two position cam is rotatably mounted over the crankpin. The cam rotates to and operates at a first position relative to said crankpin when the motor is running in the forward direction and rotates to and operates at a second position relative to said crankpin when the motor is running in the reverse direction. The combined eccentricities of the crankpin and the cam cause the piston to have a first stroke when the motor operates in the forward direction and a second stroke when the motor operates in the reverse direction. There is also provided a control for selectively operating the motor either in the forward direction or in the reverse direction.
摘要:
A pressure equalization method and system is provided for starting a compressor while maintaining the condenser at a high pressure and includes a valve and a bleed port. The compressor has a compressor inlet for receiving a fluid at a first pressure and a compressor outlet for discharging the fluid at a second pressure, and is operable to compress the fluid from the first pressure to the second pressure. The valve is proximate to and in fluid communication with the compressor outlet and is movable to an open position when the compressor is operating to permit the fluid at the second pressure to flow through the valve and is movable to a closed position when the compressor stops operating to prevent backflow of the fluid at the second pressure through the valve toward the compressor inlet. The bleed port is upstream of the valve and in fluid communication with the compressor inlet to equalize the pressure of the fluid contained in the compressor when the compressor stops operating.
