摘要:
A multi-compressor system comprising first and second stage motor-compressor units, a low pressure line for transmitting vapor from a source thereof to the first stage unit, an intermediate pressure line for transmitting vapor between the first and second stage units, a high pressure line for transmitting vapor from the second stage unit, and a bypass line for transmitting vapor from the low pressure line to the intermediate pressure line to selectively bypass the first stage unit. The first stage unit includes a first supply of lubricant, a first compressor, and a first lubricant overflow passage for passing overflow lubricant from the first supply thereof into the first compressor. The second stage unit includes a second supply of lubricant, a second compressor, and a second lubricant overflow passage for passing overflow lubricant from the second supply thereof into the second compressor. The low pressure line includes a first section, and a second section extending substantially at a right angle to the first section. The bypass line includes a first bypass section connected to the first section of the low pressure line and extending substantially collinear therewith, and a check valve for preventing vapor flow from the intermediate pressure line to the low pressure line via the bypass line.

Apparatus for modulating the capacity of a reciprocating compressor having a cylinder chamber and a valve assembly extending over the cylinder chamber, defining fluid inlet and outlet paths, and including a suction valve for regulating vapor flow through the inlet path. The capacity modulating apparatus comprises a lever, a fulcrum, and control means. The lever extends through the fluid inlet path and above the suction valve, and has a first end located outside the valve assembly and a second end engaging the suction valve. Both the fulcrum and the control means engage the lever, and the control means is provided for applying a variable force to the lever wherein the lever transmits the force to the suction valve to urge the suction valve to an open position.
摘要:
A method of operating a refrigeration system having at least three compressors, in which each compressor has an oil sump with oil at an oil level. The method includes separately connecting the oil sumps of the at least three compressors. Each separate connection allows oil flow only between the oil sumps of two of said compressors thereby preventing bypass flow. The method further includes flowing oil between oil sumps of the at least three compressors and along the separate connections to tend to equalize the oil levels among the oil sumps of the at least three compressors.

A compressor (20) has a housing (22) having first (52) and second (48) members. A motor (24) within the housing (22) is coupled to one or more working elements (26, 28) to drive the one or more working elements (26, 28) to compress a fluid. A number of electrical terminals (104) are each mounted in an associated aperture (132) in the second housing member (48) and electrically connected to the motor (24).

A screw compressor (10) comprises a housing (12, 14, 16), a slide valve assembly (23) and a pulsation damper. The housing (12, 14, 16) receives a supply of working matter from a pair of intermeshing screw rotors (18, 20), and comprises a slide recess (51), a pressure pocket (32), and a piston cylinder (54). The slide valve assembly (23) regulates the capacity of the screw compressor (10), and comprises a slide valve (36) axially movable within the slide recess (51) and the pressure pocket (32), a piston head (40) axially movable within the piston cylinder (54), and a piston shaft (38) connecting the slide valve (36) with the piston head (40). The pulsation damper comprises a flange (58) for separating the pressure pocket (32) from the piston cylinder (54), a bore (60) for receiving the piston rod (38), and a damping channel (46A) extending through the flange (58).
摘要:
A three rotor screw compressor is provided with a bearing cover, and an integral discharge case having a divider wall formed integrally with the bearing cover. The bearing cover closes bearing chambers for each of three rotor shafts, and the divider wall divides a plenum into two distinct chambers. By providing the divider wall, noise and efficiency losses from intermixing of two discharge flows from two separate compression chambers is eliminated. By forming a divider wall integrally with the bearing cover, leakage which has existed in the prior art is eliminated.
摘要:
The seat of a suction valve of a reciprocating compressor is modified to limit the area in which an annular oil film can be established between the valve and the valve seat. The seat is configured to limit the oil film from 3% to 33% of the total inlet port opening. In a modified embodiment gas at discharge pressure exerts an opening bias to the suction valve at the end of the discharge stroke.
摘要:
An internally compounded two-stage compressor has an interstage cooler and an oil separator associated therewith. The oil, and any hot gas mixed with it, discharged from the oil separator is passed in heat exchanger relationship with the cooling refrigerant flowing into the interstage cooler.

A method of operating a multiple-compressor refrigeration system is provided. This method includes the steps of supplying, via a common supply line, refrigerant gas and oil to a plurality of compressors coupled in series, and attaching an oil flow conduit between adjacent compressors of the plurality of compressors. The oil flow conduit is configured to move oil from a compressor with a relatively higher pressure to a compressor with a relatively lower pressure. The method further includes controlling the pressure for each of the plurality of compressors by regulating a speed at which each of the plurality of compressors operates in order to maintain a pressure differential between the adjacent compressors to facilitate the flow of oil from the compressor with the relatively higher pressure to the compressor with the relatively lower pressure.

A compressor for compressing fluid is provided. The compressor includes a housing having a housing inlet for receiving fluid and a housing outlet for discharging the fluid. A compressing mechanism is adapted to compress the fluid toward the housing outlet. The compressing mechanism is disposed in the housing. A drive unit is operatively connected to the compressing mechanism for driving the compressing mechanism to compress fluid. A suction duct is disposed in the housing. The suction duct extends vertically downward from the housing inlet toward a sump defined in the housing. The suction duct is configured for attachment to a motor housing. The suction duct has a duct inlet fluidically connected with the housing inlet, and defines a passage fluidically connecting the duct inlet with an interior cavity of the housing. A suction gas filter disposed in the suction duct, and having a filter screen positioned downstream of the duct inlet.
