A light shielding film includes a protrusion for a touch sensor, which is formed to protrude further than a color filter layer toward the side of a first substrate, and a spacer portion, which is formed to protrude further than the protrusion for a touch sensor toward the side of a first substrate and defines the thickness of a liquid crystal layer. A counter electrode, which covers the protrusion for a touch sensor and the color filter layer, is formed on a second substrate.

A rotary compressor includes a cylinder having an annular cylinder space, a piston eccentrically disposed relative to the cylinder, and a drive shaft (53) connected to the piston. The piston has a piston portion eccentrically rotatable relative to the cylinder, and a piston end plate closing the cylinder space. The cylinder has an end plate storage space storing the piston end plate in an eccentrically rotatable manner. The cylinder space forms a main cylinder chamber, and the end plate storage space forms a sub-cylinder chamber.
摘要:
In a compression/expansion unit (30) serving as a fluid machine, both of a compression mechanism (50) and an expansion mechanism (60) are contained in a single casing (31). A shaft (40) coupling the compression mechanism (50) to the expansion mechanism (60) has an oil feeding channel (90) formed therein. Refrigerating machine oil accumulated at the bottom of the casing (31) is sucked up into the oil feeding channel (90) and fed to the compression mechanism (50) and the expansion mechanism (60). The refrigerating machine oil fed to the expansion mechanism (60) is discharged from the expansion mechanism (60) together with the refrigerant after expansion, flows through the refrigerant circuit and then flows back to the compression mechanism (50) in the compression/expansion unit (30).

A refrigerant circuit (11) of an air conditioner (10) includes a compressor (20) and an expander (30). In the compressor (20), refrigerator oil is supplied from an oil reservoir (27) to a compression mechanism (21). In the expander (30), the refrigerator oil is supplied from an oil reservoir (37) to an expansion mechanism (31). The inner pressures of the compressor casing (24) and the expander casing (34) are the high pressure and the low pressure of the refrigeration cycle, respectively. An oil adjusting valve (52) is provided in an oil pipe (42) connecting the compressor casing (24) and the expander casing (34). The oil amount adjusting valve (52) is operated on the basis of an output signal of an oil level sensor (51). When the oil amount adjusting valve (52) is opened, the refrigerator oil flows from the oil reservoir (27) in the compressor casing (24) toward the oil reservoir (37) in the expander casing (34) through the oil pipe (42).
摘要:
A casing (31) houses therein an expansion mechanism (60) and a compression mechanism (50). The expansion mechanism (60) has a rear head (62) in which a pressure snubbing chamber (71) is provided. The pressure snubbing chamber (71) is divided by a piston (77) into an inflow/outflow chamber (72) which fluidly communicates with an inflow port (34) and a back pressure chamber (73) which fluidly communicates with the inside of the casing (31). The piston (77) is displaced in response to suction pressure variation whereby the volume of the inflow/outflow chamber (72) varies. This enables the inflow/outflow chamber (72) to directly perform supply of refrigerant to or suction of refrigerant from the inflow port (34) which is a source of pressure variation, thereby making it possible to effectively inhibit suction pressure variation.
摘要:
A refrigeration apparatus having a refrigerant circuit (20) for performing a vapor compression refrigeration cycle is disclosed. Refrigerant in a wet state, which provides an optimum coefficient of performance (COP) for a present operating condition, is drawn into the compressor (31). If the operating condition changes, the opening of an expansion valve (23) is adjusted such that the suction refrigerant of the compressor (31) is brought into a wet state which provides an optimum coefficient of performance for a new operating condition.
摘要:
The low-side pressure of a refrigeration cycle and the refrigerant temperature at the exit of a gas cooler under reference operating conditions are employed as a reference low pressure and a reference refrigerant temperature, respectively, and the high-side pressure of the refrigeration cycle at which the COP of the refrigeration cycle reaches a maximum value under the reference operating conditions is employed as a reference high pressure. In this case, the volume v2 of a first fluid chamber (72) in the expander (60) just after the closing off of fluid communication from its inlet channel and the volume v3 of a second fluid chamber (82) in the expander (60) just before the provision of fluid communication with its outlet channel are set to v2=ρ1v1r/ρ2 and v3=ρ2v2/ρ3, respectively, where ρ1 is the density of saturated gas refrigerant at the reference low pressure, ρ2 is the density of refrigerant at the reference high pressure and the reference refrigerant temperature, ρ3 is the density of refrigerant adiabatically expanded from a condition of the reference high pressure and the reference refrigerant temperature into a condition of the reference low pressure, v1 is the volume of the fluid chamber in the compressor just after the closing off of fluid communication from its suction channel, and r is the rotational speed ratio of the compressor to the expander.
摘要:
Oil supply grooves (74, 84) are formed respectively in a rotating shaft (70) of a compression mechanism (50) integral with an electric motor (40) and in a rotating shaft (80) of an expansion mechanism (60). The rotating shafts (70, 80) are coupled together by engagement between an engagement convex portion (85) and an engagement concave portion (75) which are formed respectively in shaft ends of the rotating shafts (70, 80). And, a seal groove (S) is formed in the peripheral surface of the engagement convex portion (85) and an O-ring (R) is engaged into the seal groove (S). Hereby, lubrication oil leakage from between the engagement convex portion (85) and the engagement concave portion (75) is prevented.
摘要:
Two rotary mechanism parts (70, 80) are provided in a rotary expander (60). The first rotary mechanism part (70) is smaller in displacement volume than the second rotary mechanism part (80). A first low-pressure chamber (74) of the first rotary mechanism part (70) and a second high-pressure chamber (83) of the second rotary mechanism part (80) are fluidly connected together by a communicating passageway (64), thereby forming a single expansion chamber (66). High-pressure refrigerant introduced into the first rotary mechanism part (70) expands in the expansion chamber (66). An injection passageway (37) is fluidly connected to the communicating passageway (64). When an motor-operated valve (90) is placed in the open state, high-pressure refrigerant is introduced into the expansion chamber (66) also from the injection passageway (37). This makes it possible to inhibit the drop in power recovery efficiency, even in the condition that causes the actual expansion ratio to fall below the design expansion ratio.
