Abstract:
A scroll compressor is more economically constructed and operated. The scroll compressor includes an orbiting scroll member, a non-orbiting scroll member, and a single phase electric motor, the single phase electric motor further includes a rotor, a stator having a plurality of slots, the stator being mounted concentrically with the rotor, an aluminum start winding that is wound within a portion of the slots distal from the rotor, a copper main winding that is wound with a portion of the slots between the aluminum start winding and the rotor, and a drive shaft coupled to the rotor, the drive shaft being configured to couple to the orbiting scroll member of a scroll compressor to cause the orbiting scroll member to orbit the non-orbiting scroll member.
Abstract:
A six lead, two speed, consequent wound, single phase induction motor with a tapped auxiliary winding having a 2-pole high speed mode and 4-pole low speed mode. A portion of the auxiliary winding is connected in series with the four pole main winding. The 4-pole low speed mode has an efficiency of over 80%.
Abstract:
A variable capacity compressor assembly (20) configured for variable capacity modulation includes a housing (30), with a compressing mechanism (22) and a driving mechanism (24) disposed within the housing. The compressing mechanism includes compressing members (54, 56) that are shiftable relative to one another between loaded and unloaded states. The driving mechanism includes a line-start brushless permanent magnet motor (26). The line-start brushless permanent magnet motor includes a plurality of permanent magnets (102) that are mounted on, and extend generally axially along, a rotor core body (90) of the motor. Using the motor may reduce manufacture cost, maintain conveniently, and increase reliability.
