  • Patent number: 11965681
    Abstract: A refrigeration system and a lubricating method thereof. The refrigeration system (100) includes: a compressor (110), a condenser (120), an evaporator (130), and a lubrication circuit (200), the lubrication circuit including a post-lubrication flow path (230,240,260) connected from the compressor into the condenser and the evaporator respectively; and a pre-lubrication flow path (210,220,250) connected from the condenser and the evaporator into the compressor respectively; wherein after flowing from the condenser via the pre-lubrication flow path to the compressor for lubrication, a part of refrigerant for lubrication can flow back to the evaporator via the post-lubrication flow path; or after flowing from the evaporator via the pre-lubrication flow path to the compressor for lubrication, the part of refrigerant for lubrication can flow back to the condenser via the post-lubrication flow path.

  • Publication number: 20220074633
    Abstract: A lubricant recovery system for a heat exchange system, and a heat exchange system. The heat exchange system includes a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device and an evaporator connected in sequence to form a loop, and further includes a reservoir for storing lubricant and in communication with the compressor, and the lubricant recovery system includes: a first flow path disposed between a suction chamber of the compressor and the reservoir, and having a first pump and a first filter, wherein the first pump is configured to pump a part of the lubricant in the suction chamber to the reservoir, and the first filter is disposed upstream of the first pump for filtering the lubricant; and/or a second flow path disposed between the evaporator and the suction chamber, and having a second pump and a second filter.

  • Patent number: 10823198
    Abstract: A diffuser for a centrifugal compressor and a centrifugal compressor having the same. The diffuser (100) comprises a drive component (110), a transmission assembly (120), an adjustment assembly (130), a spool valve assembly (140) and a rear wall (150); wherein the transmission assembly is used for transmitting power produced by the drive component to the adjustment assembly, the adjustment assembly is capable of circumferentially reciprocating with respect to the rear wall and driving the spool valve assembly to reciprocate axially; and wherein a rolling element (160) is provided between the adjustment assembly and the rear wall. Intervention of a mechanism for adjusting a flow passage width is better achieved by such an arrangement in combination with an existing configuration of the diffuser; and a low-friction fit between the adjustment assembly and the rear wall is achieved by the rolling element.
