Abstract: A system includes a variable-capacity compressor operable in a first capacity mode and in a second capacity mode that is higher than the first capacity mode. A control module is configured to switch the variable-capacity compressor between the first capacity mode and the second capacity mode based on a demand signal from the thermostat. The control module determines a number of previous consecutive operating cycles of the variable-capacity compressor in the first capacity mode within a predetermined period of time. The control module operates the variable-capacity compressor in the second capacity mode in response to the number of previous consecutive operating cycles of the variable-capacity in the first capacity mode within the predetermined period of time exceeding a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A system for controlling capacity of a compressor comprises a minimum determination module (204) selectively increasing a minimum capacity of a compressor when a temperature of the compressor is greater than a first predetermined temperature; and a control module (104) increasing an actual capacity of the compressor in response to an increase in the minimum capacity. A method for controlling capacity of a compressor is also disclosed. The system and method modulate the capacity of the compressor according to the different temperatures.

The first end plate may define a discharge passage and an annular recess surrounding the discharge passage. The second scroll includes a second end plate and a second spiral wrap extending from the second end plate. The first and second spiral wraps cooperate to define a plurality of fluid pockets. The seal may be at least partially received in the annular recess and may cooperate with the first scroll to define a biasing chamber receiving fluid at an intermediate pressure. The seal may include inner and outer diametrical surfaces. The inner diametrical surface may include a plurality of first annular grooves. The outer diametrical surface may include a plurality of second annular grooves.

The driveshaft is drivingly engaged with the motor assembly and the compression mechanism for rotation about an axis and extends from a first end to a second end. The bearing assembly is disposed within the shell and supports the driveshaft for rotation. The bearing assembly includes a bracket, a hub, and a bushing. The bracket is coupled to the shell and includes an aperture. The hub is disposed within the aperture and defines a bore having a radially inwardly extending lip. The bushing includes a first portion and a second portion. The second portion of the bushing includes a plurality of radially extending engagement features. The second portion of the bushing is disposed within the bore of the hub such that the engagement features engage the lip of the hub.

Abstract: A compressor includes a shell, a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor, and a control module. The shell includes a motor, a compression mechanism and a lubricant sump. The first temperature sensor is at least partially disposed within the shell and configured to measure a first temperature of a lubricant at a first position. The second temperature sensor is at least partially disposed within the shell and configured to measure a second temperature of the lubricant at a second position that is vertically higher than the first position. The control module is in communication with the first and second temperature sensors and configured to determine a first difference between the first temperature and the second temperature. The control module is configured to determine whether a liquid level of the lubricant in the lubricant sump is below a predetermined level based on the first difference.

Abstract: A compressor may include first and second scrolls, a hub plate and a valve. The first scroll may include an end plate defining first and second sides, a primary discharge passage extending therethrough, and a secondary discharge passage extending therethrough and located radially outward from the primary discharge passage. The hub plate may be mounted to the first scroll and may include first and second opposite sides and a hub discharge passage in fluid communication with the primary discharge passage. The first side of the hub plate may face the second side of the end plate and may include a valve guide extending axially toward the end plate adjacent the hub discharge passage. The valve member may be secured on the valve guide for axial movement between open and closed positions to respectively allow and restrict fluid communication between the secondary discharge passage and the hub discharge passage.

Abstract: A compressor may include first and second scrolls, a seal assembly and a valve ring. The first scroll may include a first end plate having a discharge passage, a modulation port, and a biasing passage. The modulation port may be in communication with a first pocket formed between spiral wraps of the first and second scrolls. The biasing passage may be in communication with a second pocket formed between spiral wraps of the first and second scrolls. The modulation valve ring is axially displaceable relative to the seal assembly and the first scroll between first and second positions. The valve ring may abut an end plate of the first scroll and close the modulation port when in the first position. The valve ring may abut an axially-facing surface of the seal assembly and is spaced apart from the end plate to open the modulation port when in the second position.

Abstract: A system and method for a compressor includes a compressor connected to a condenser, a discharge line temperature sensor that outputs a discharge line temperature signal corresponding to a discharge line temperature of refrigerant leaving the compressor, and a control module connected to the discharge line temperature sensor. The control module determines a saturated condenser temperature, calculates a discharge superheat temperature based on the saturated condenser temperature and the discharge line temperature, and monitors a flood back condition of the compressor by comparing the discharge superheat temperature with a predetermined threshold. The control module increases a speed of the compressor when the discharge superheat temperature is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold.
