  • Patent number: 5071329
    Abstract: A scroll type fluid transferring machine comprises a stationary scroll having a wrap member, a movable scroll having a wrap member combined with the stationary scroll, a driving means for causing the movement of revolution of the movable scroll along a circular orbit so as to make the movable scroll line-contact with the stationary scroll whereby a closed space is produced between the stationary and movable scrolls, and an Oldham ring for maintaining the stationary and movable scrolls at predetermined positions while the movement of rotation of the both scrolls are prevented, wherein the Oldham ring is formed by injection-molding at least one thermoplastic resinous material selected from the group consisting of polyphenylene sulfide, polyetheretherketone, polyetherketone, wholly aromatic polyester, polysulfone, polyarylsulfone, polyethersulfone, polyetherimide, polyoxybenzyliden polyketonsulfide, polythioethersulfone and polyarylate.

  • Patent number: 4711617
    Abstract: In a rotary compressor for compressing a refrigerant gas by a compressor element adapted to be rotated by an electric motor, the improvement comprises a cylindrical member provided inside or outside the closed container and communicated with the first intake passage and with the first discharge passage; a second intake passage communicated with the cylindrical member and with the compressor element; a second discharge passage communicated with the cylindrical member and within the closed container; a first communication passage for communicating the second intake passage with one end of the cylindrical member; a second communication passage for communicating the closed container with the other end of the cylindrical member; and a valve member provided in the cylindrical member; and a spring which urges the end of the valve near the first communication passage; the valve member being moved to a first position to communicate the first intake pasage with the second intake passage and also communicate the first d

  • Patent number: 4645429
    Abstract: The discharge gas which has been compressed by the compressor main body is cooled by heat dissipation through the heat exchanger, after which it is again returned to the compressor. When the lubricant oil is sucked under pressure of the discharge gas, it is also cooled. Each and every component part of the compressor main body and the electric motor is cooled by causing the cooled discharge gas to pass there through, whereby the temperature rise in the compressor as a whole can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 4628963
    Abstract: A discharge valve for a refrigerant compressor includes a leaf spring 10 for biasing a flexible valve plate 9 which opens and closes a refrigerant discharge port 8. The leaf spring has a centrally deformed portion which engages an intermediate portion of the valve plate. During the initial opening of the discharge port, no spring force is applied to the free end 9a of the valve plate to thereby reduce any opening delay and increase the efficiency of the compressor.

  • Patent number: 4624630
    Abstract: The lubricating oil pool 11 in the bottom of the shell 1 of a rolling piston refrigerant gas compressor is communicated directly with the space 16 inside the cylindrical piston 4 via a supply passage 10c in a side plate 10. Sufficient clearance is provided between the ends of the piston and the compressor side plates 9, 10 to enable limited communication between the space 16 and the compression and suction chambers 6, 18. The compressor discharge is supplied to the space 7 within the shell, and the resultant differential pressure applied to opposite ends of the supply passage causes a steady flow of oil into the piston interior to properly lubricate the moving parts of the compressor.

  • Patent number: 4611473
    Abstract: The number of potentially rupturable brazed refrigerant tubing connections in a refrigeration system is reduced by crimping the check valve 14a directly within a tubing section 14b prior to its bending and assembly, either upstream or downstream of the accumulator/separator 16.

  • Patent number: 4592705
    Abstract: The vane slot 20 and lubricating oil passageway 21 in the cylinder member 3 of a rotary vane compressor are configured such that the radial length of the slot wall 20a on the low pressure side of the vane 5 is less than that of the opposite wall 20b on the high pressure side. Such a shortened low pressure side slot wall reduces wear by providing improved lubrication at the critical inward edge of the slot (F1), and facilitates the flushing away of abrasive particles formed during the initial seating of the vane. For a horizontal installation the lubricating oil level is maintained below the radially outermost edge of the wall 20a to prevent the oil from being drawn into the low pressure chamber 17 when the compressor is stopped.

  • Patent number: 4560329
    Abstract: A strainer device for a rotary type compressor includes a rolling piston which rotates with rotation of a rotational shaft, a cylinder plate provided in correspondence to the direction of the outer periphery of the rolling piston, a pair of side plates supporting the rotational shaft, and disposed on both side surfaces of the cylinder plate to define a compression chamber. A suction pipe passes through a shell housing with one end thereof being connected with a suction port formed in one of the side plates to introduce intake gas. A communication path leads the intake gas from the suction port to the compression chamber and a strainer removes foreign substances contained in the intake gas, the strainer being provided in a path formed in the cylinder plate or the side plate, not in the suction pipe, through which the intake gas flows.
