    摘要: A compressor (22) has a housing assembly (40) with a suction port (24), a discharge port (26), and a motor compartment (60). An electric motor (42) has a stator (62) within the motor compartment and a rotor (64) within the stator. The rotor is mounted for rotation about a rotor axis (500). One or more working impellers (44) are coupled to the rotor to be driven by the rotor in at least a first condition so as to draw fluid in through the suction port and discharge the fluid from the discharge port. An inlet guide vane (IGV) array (174) is between the suction port (24) and the one or more impellers (44). One or more bearing systems (66, 68) support the rotor (64) and/or the one or more impellers (44). One or more main drain passages (120, 234 206; 120, 232, 202, 206) are coupled to the bearings to pass fluid along a drain flowpath from the bearings to a location (172) upstream of the impeller and downstream of the IGV array.

A purge unit (400) has a vapor inlet line (410) for receiving a refrigerant flow and a return line (414, 417A, 417B) for returning a contaminant-depleted refrigerant flow. A supply flowpath (407A, 407B) for supplying refrigerant to the bearings extends from the purge unit.

    摘要: A compressor system includes a compressor including a compressor inlet, a compressor outlet, and a bearing assembly, the compressor configured to compress a heat transfer fluid. An additive dispenser is fluidly coupled to the compressor upstream of the bearing assembly. The additive dispenser is configured to controllably release a volume of an additive material into the heat transfer fluid, the additive material configured to lubricate the bearing assembly. A method of lubricating a bearing assembly of compressor includes locating a volume of additive material at an additive dispenser fluidly coupled to a compressor, dispensing a portion of the additive material into the flow of heat transfer fluid at a selected time, flowing the heat transfer fluid containing the additive material to a bearing assembly of the compressor, and lubricating the bearing assembly of the compressor with the additive material.

    摘要: A vapor compression system (20) comprises a compressor (22) having one or more bearing systems (66, 68) supporting a rotor and/or one or more working elements (44). One or more bearing feed passages (114) are coupled to the bearings to pass fluid along a supply flowpath to the bearings. A mechanical pump (130; 330) is positioned to drive fluid along the supply flowpath. An ejector (140, 150) has a motive flow inlet (142, 152) coupled to the mechanical pump to receive refrigerant from the mechanical pump.
