  • Patent number: 7640762
    Abstract: A refrigeration apparatus includes two sub passages which are branched from a main passage located between a condenser and an expansion part and which are connected to a compressor. On the sub passages are provided supercooling-use expansion parts, and supercooling-use heat exchangers for performing heat exchange between a refrigerant on an outlet side of the supercooling-use expansion part and a refrigerant of the main passage. Therefore, each time the refrigerant of the main passage passes through the two supercooling-use heat exchangers the degree of liquid supercooling of the refrigerant is increased.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6595761
    Abstract: There is provided a screw compressor which needs neither a bed nor a coupling, therefore not involving alignment, and yet in which gas is not heated by the motor. The screw compressor has a compression section 21 and a motor section 22 inside a casing 20. Both a rotor 27 of a motor 23 and a screw 26 of the compression section 21 are fixed to one main shaft 25. The main shaft 25 is supported at three points by a total of three bearings of both-end rolling bearings 31, 32 and a central rolling bearing 33. A refrigerant passage 45 passes only through the compression section 21 and not through the motor section 22.

  • Patent number: 4747755
    Abstract: A capacity control device for a screw compressor provided with a capacity control passage and a slide valve adjusting the opening thereof, wherein the slide valve is driven in a closing direction due to a pressure difference between a high pressure and a low pressure and is moved in an opening direction thanks to function of a spring when the high pressure is balanced with the low pressure, and when the pressure difference between the high pressure and low pressure is lower to cause the slide valve to be open thanks to the function of the spring, the slide valve is moved in the closing direction against the spring by use of pressure in a compression-processing part in the screw compressor, thereby enabling to quickly transit from no load condition to a loaded condition.
