摘要:
A refrigeration system of the type having an economizer cycle is provided with a null cycle, in addition to heating and cooling cycles, without shutting a compressor prime mover down, to preserve air flow in a conditioned space. First, second and third controllable valves respectively: (1) select main and auxiliary condensers, (2) open and close a liquid line, and (3) open and close a line which provides a warm liquid to an economizer heat exchanger. The valves are controlled in at least one predetermined open/close pattern during a null cycle, and preferably in a plurality of selectable predetermined open/close patterns, to provide a null cycle at any instant which substantially matches the net heat gain or loss taking place in the conditioned space. Thus, the temperature of the served space will be more apt to remain in a null temperature range close to set point, providing smoother and more accurate control over the temperature of the conditioned space for longer shelf life of perishables stored therein. The system achieves the latter by controlling maximum operating pressure.

An oil flooded screw compressor including suction, rotor, and discharge sections having suction, intermediate pressure, and discharge ports, respectively, and an oil sump. The discharge section includes radially spaced internal and external housings, with the internal housing receiving an oil-gas stream from the rotor section. A filter is disposed to surround the internal housing, with the filter including a cylindrical, foraminate body portion, an end wall, and a filter pad against the end wall. The oil-gas stream from the rotor section exits the inner housing, via an opening which forms part of a first stage of oil removal. The oil-gas stream strikes the filter pad, removing oil as the oil-gas stream is forced to turn 90 degrees to exit the filter through the foraminate body portion, which also removes oil. The filter functions as second and third stages of oil removal.

摘要:
A refrigerant compressor having a cylinder assembly which includes a piston mounted for reciprocal movement within a cylinder to provide suction and compression strokes which respectively introduce and compress a refrigerant vapor which may have entrained compressor lubricant. The piston includes a suction ring valve which is operated by pressure differentials during the suction and compression strokes to cause the suction ring valve to contact predetermined end surfaces of a predetermined end portion of the piston during the compression stroke and thereby close a refrigerant vapor supply opening surrounded by the predetermined end surfaces, and to cause the suction ring valve to lift from the predetermined end surfaces of the piston during the suction stroke to open the refrigerant vapor supply opening and introduce refrigerant vapor into a compression chamber of the cylinder assembly. The predetermined end surfaces of the piston include an open ended spiral groove which provides a spiral support surface for the suction ring valve, and a spiral depression which collects compressor lubricant entrained in refrigerant vapor, to provide support for the suction ring valve while reducing stiction forces created between the suction ring valve and the piston.

A compressor and oil separator assembly for compressing a fluid includes a suction end, a discharge end, and first and second rotors rotatably mounted between the suction and discharge ends. A discharge line communicates with the discharge end, and an oil separator communicates with the discharge line. An oil sump communicates with the oil separator and an oil supply line communicates between the oil sump and the rotors. A bleed line selectively communicates between the discharge line and the oil supply line for equalizing a pressure differential between the suction end and the discharge end without causing substantial backward rotation of the rotors or displacement of oil to the rotors through the oil supply line. Preferably, the assembly further includes a valve that defines a portion of the discharge line and is also coupled to the bleed line.
