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.

The seat of a suction valve of a reciprocating compressor is modified to limit the radial extent and thereby the area in which an annular oil film can be established between the valve and the valve seat. The preferred radial extent of the seating surface is 0.014 to 0.018 inches and the preferred ratio of the area of the suction valve seat to the passage therethrough is in the range of 13% to 25%.
摘要:
In its unstressed state, a suction valve is spaced from its valve seat such that the suction valve must be deformed against its inherent spring force in order to achieve seating. The spring force due to deformation provides an opening bias to the suction valve such that it opens earlier in the suction stroke and offsets the effects of adhesion due to the presence of oil between the seating surface and the valve.

A method of operating a refrigeration system uses a plurality of compressors in connected parallel. The method includes returning refrigerant and oil to the compressors, the refrigerant also having oil entrained therein, separating the oil entrained in the refrigerant, and returning more of the oil entrained in the refrigerant to a lead compressor of the plurality of compressors regardless of whether the lead compressor is operating. The method also includes connecting the oil sumps of all of the plurality of compressors such that oil is supplied from the lead compressor to at least one non-lead compressor of the plurality of compressors when the at least one non-lead compressor is operating.

摘要:
A refrigeration system with two or more compressors configured to compress a flow of refrigerant with oil entrained therein. A suction flow piping arrangement is configured to supply a flow of refrigerant and oil to the two or more compressors. The suction flow piping arrangement has a suction header configured to carry the flow of refrigerant and oil, and a primary compressor supply conduit connected to the suction header. The primary compressor supply conduit supplies refrigerant and oil to a first compressor of the two or more compressors. A secondary compressor supply conduit branches off from the suction header. The secondary compressor supply conduit supplies refrigerant to a second compressor of the two or more compressors. The primary compressor supply conduit is configured to supply more oil to the first compressor than the secondary compressor supply conduit supplies to the second compressor.
摘要:
A multi-stage compressor unit for a refrigeration system configured to circulate a refrigerant comprises a first compressor sub-unit having a first stage and a second stage, and a second compressor sub-unit in parallel with the first compressor sub-unit and having a first stage. The first and second stages of the first compressor sub-unit each have a suction port and a discharge port. The first compressor sub-unit is configured to receive and compress a first portion of the refrigerant from an evaporator. The first stage of the second compressor sub-unit is configured to compress a second portion of the refrigerant.

A pair of keys of an Oldham coupling are located on a chord spaced from a diameter and are of a parallelogram shape. The ends of the corresponding slots are located at the same radius whereby a reduced envelope results.

The wraps of a scroll device are nonsymmetrical. Additionally, each wrap has a circular outer portion, an involute inner portion with a high order curve therebetween. To equalize displacement, the starting angles of the pockets can be adjusted.
摘要:
A low side scroll compressor is provided with a pivoted bistable check valve. In the open position the valve is out of the direct discharge from the scrolls but in close proximity to the discharge tube such that upon stopping the compressor the reverse flow from the system impinges upon the valve member causing it to close.
