Abstract:
The scroll compressor includes stationary and moving scrolls each including a scroll plate provided with a spiral wrap, the spiral wraps defining the variable-volume compression chambers, a separating plate mounted on the scroll plate of the stationary scroll and defining with the latter a first intermediate volume, and a delivery chamber defined by the separating plate and the sealed casing. The compressor includes a bypass passage arranged to communicate the first intermediate volume with an intermediate compression chamber, a flow passage arranged to communicate the first intermediate volume with the delivery chamber, and a bypass valve associated with the flow passage, each bypass valve associated with a flow passage mounted on the surface of the separating plate turned toward the delivery chamber and movable between closing and opening positions for closing and opening the flow passage.
Abstract:
This refrigerating compressor comprises a sealed chamber delimiting a suction volume and a compression volume arranged respectively either side of a body contained in the chamber, and an oil injection circuit arranged to inject oil into the compression volume. The oil injection circuit comprises a moving blocking piece, operated by a centrifugal force, between a first position enabling oil injection into the compression volume and a second position preventing or limiting oil injection into the compression volume, the blocking piece being arranged to be displaced into its second position when the speed of the compressor exceeds a predetermined value.
Abstract:
A scroll-type refrigerant compressor with a sealed enclosure defined by a shell and containing a suction volume and a compression volume at opposite ends of the enclosure. The shell has a gas inlet, an electric motor on the suction side having a stator and defining with the shell an annular volume. The stator is surrounded by a jacket defining an annular volume with the shell and a chamber which contains the motor winding and is directed towards the compression volume, an end of the intermediate jacket directed away from the compression volume being located at an end of the stator directed away from the compression volume. Structure is provided for conveying some of the gas arriving at the gas inlet into the chamber containing the motor winding, and gas conveyed by the structure is admitted into the chamber containing the winding through the gas intake orifice.
Abstract:
The invention concerns an element comprising an annular body (9) provided with two series of pins (10, 12) projecting from at least one side of the body (9), the pins (10) of a first series being engaged in grooves (7) of the fixed volute (3) and the pins (12) of a second series being engaged in grooves (8) of the mobile volute (4), to provide an orbital movement of the mobile volute (4) relative to the fixed volute (3), the contact surfaces of the pins (10, 12) of a common series with the walls of the grooves of the corresponding volute being parallel and the contact surfaces of the pins (10, 12) belonging to two series of pins being perpendicular. The annular body (9) is made of a first metal with a specific density and the pins are made of a second metal having a lower density than that of the first metal.

Abstract:
A device for guiding a movable scroll of a scroll compressor. The device includes a track that guides the movable scroll and supports the radial inertial forces to prevent excessive and potentially harmful contact forces between the fixed scroll and the movable scroll. Hence, the radial inertial forces are supported by the guide track so that the scrolls are not overloaded and there is no risk that the crankshaft will bend.
Abstract:
A discharge check valve assembly for use with a hermetic scroll compressor having a compressor shell is provided. The discharge check valve assembly includes a valve housing and a valve seat located within the valve housing. The valve housing is configured to mount the discharge check valve assembly to the compressor shell. The discharge check valve assembly also includes a discharge fitting and a valve subassembly. The discharge fitting is configured to mount to the compressor shell and configured to connect to a connecting tube in fluid communication with a high-pressure system. The valve subassembly has a valve member movable between an open position and a closed position. Additionally, the valve subassembly is configured to be inserted through the discharge fitting into the valve housing.
Abstract:
The scroll compressor includes stationary and moving volutes each including a scroll plate provided with a spiral wrap, the spiral wraps defining the variable-volume compression chambers, a delivery conduit including a first end emerging in a central compression chamber and a second end designed to be communicated with a delivery chamber, a delivery valve movable between closing and opening positions for closing and opening at least one delivery opening arranged to communicate the delivery conduit and the delivery chamber, at least one bypass valve associated with a bypass passage arranged to communicate the delivery chamber with an intermediate compression chamber. The compressor includes a retaining plate mounted on the scroll plate of the stationary scroll and on which first and second retaining elements are formed, the latter being arranged to limit respectively the amplitude of movement of the delivery valve and of each bypass valve toward the opening position thereof.
Abstract:
A machine having two volute casings describing an orbital relative movement, one of the volute casings being fitted with at least one scroll and the other volute casing being equipped with at least two scrolls, the various scrolls delimiting a first series of variable-volume chambers belonging to a first compression or expansion stage, and a second series of variable-volume chambers belonging to a second compression or expansion stage, each stage having a high-pressure fluid passage and low-pressure fluid passage. A portion of the low-pressure fluid passage of the second stage is designed to open into one of the chambers of the second stage and is further away from the zone of convergence of the scrolls delimiting the variable-volume chambers of the second stage than a portion of the high-pressure fluid passage of the first stage that is designed to open into one of the chambers of the first stage.
