Abstract: An apparatus for compressing fluid comprises a cylinder bore longitudinally penetrating a cylinder block a suction port penetrating to the cylinder bore, and a pair of slot-shaped fluid discharge having one opening at an end portion of the cylinder bore; a piston; a discharge valve assembly movably disposed at the cylinder bore to selectively open and close the fluid discharge ports of the cylinder block, the discharge valve assembly including a valve piston having a flange for limiting movement of the discharge valve assembly; a cylinder head defining a discharge chamber communicating with the fluid discharge ports, the cylinder head having a fluid discharge passage from the discharge chamber. The fluid suction port is selectively opened by the piston reciprocally moving in the cylinder bore to draw in fluid, which is discharged through the fluid discharge ports opened by the movement of the valve piston as the pressure of the fluid in the cylinder bore increases beyond a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A dual capacity compressor, which can maintain a fixed eccentricity and stable operation, even when the compressor is rotated in both the regular and reverse directions in order to provide multiple compression capacities, is provided. This dual capacity compressor implements an improved key member and associated key member fitting parts to inhibit relative motion of the crank pin and the eccentric sleeve during operation, so as to reduce or eliminate a destabilizing effect due to centrifugal forces on the eccentric sleeve and external forces applied through the connecting rod.

Abstract: A linear compressor provided with an anti-collision device to prevent a piston from coming into collision with a cylinder head and/or a suction valve even when the piston moves past an upper dead center position thereof. The anti-collision device prevents the piston of the compressor from being brought into collision with the cylinder head and/or the suction valve even when the piston moves past the upper dead center position during an operation of the compressor. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the piston and the cylinder head having the suction valve, from breaking. The linear compressor having the anti-collision device almost completely prevents a collision of the piston with the suction valve or the cylinder head during an operation, thus minimizing a gap between the piston and the cylinder head when the piston reaches the upper dead center position thereof.

The internal signal may be generated by an internal pressure monitoring device.
