  • Publication number: 20030113215
    Abstract: The invention relates to a reverse rotation preventing structure of a centrifugal compressor. The reverse rotation preventing structure of the centrifugal compressor comprises: a discharge pipeline of the centrifugal compressor; a suction pipeline of the centrifugal compressor; a bypass pipeline for connecting the discharge pipeline and the suction pipeline, wherein a predetermined valve is formed thereon; a control means for controlling an operation of the centrifugal compressor; and a detecting means for generating a predetermined signal to the control means if the operation of the centrifugal compressor is suddenly stopped, thereby opening the bypass pipeline.

  • Publication number: 20030059315
    Abstract: A turbo compressor includes: a casing having a fluid chamber for receiving a fluid from an external source; a driving unit disposed in the casing and generating a rotational force; a first compressing part installed at one side of a rotational shaft rotated according to the driving of the driving unit and first compressing the fluid; a second compressing part installed at the other side of the rotational shaft and secondly compressing the fluid compressed in the first compressing part; and a bearing cooling unit for supplying a fluid of the fluid chamber to a bearing chamber to perform a cooling operation when a temperature of the bearing chamber where the thrust bearing for supporting a load working in an axial direction of the rotational shaft is mounted is increased, and cutting off the fluid from being introduced into the bearing chamber when the temperature of the bearing chamber is maintained at a proper level.

  • Patent number: 6499955
    Abstract: A centrifugal compressor includes first and second impellers coupled to opposite ends of a drive shaft. Each impeller includes a hub with a plurality of blades on a front face. The blades compress a fluid, while forcing the fluid off an outer periphery of the hub. At least one of the impellers includes a plurality of uniformly shaped pressure attenuating grooves provided around its outer periphery. The pressure attenuating grooves reduce an axial load applied to the impeller, and act to balance the overall resultant axial load applied to the drive shaft by the two impellers, thereby reducing wear on thrust bearings engaging the rotating drive shaft.

  • Publication number: 20020037215
    Abstract: Disclosed is a centrifugal compressor structure including impellers, each of the impellers including a hub coupled to a drive shaft, a plurality of blades provided at a front surface of the hub and adapted to compress an external fluid while forcing the fluid to flow from an upstream end of the hub to a downstream end of the hub, and a plurality of uniformly-shaped pressure attenuating grooves provided at an outer peripheral edge of the hub and adapted to reduce an axial load applied to the impeller. The formation of the pressure attenuating grooves are carried out without any variation in the size and length of each blade serving as important factors for adjusting the fluid compression degree of the impeller, so that thrust bearings adapted to support an axial load are effectively protected, thereby eliminating problems resulting from the thrust bearings.

  • Patent number: 6336800
    Abstract: A rotary compressor of the low operational noise type is disclosed. This compressor consists of a casing, a rotating shaft set within the casing, a roller eccentrically fixed to the rotating shaft and eccentrically, rotatably set within a cylinder so as to form a variable suction chamber and a variable compression chamber within the cylinder. The compressor also has a bypass passage, which is formed on the internal surface of the cylinder at a position around the refrigerant exhaust stroke initiating point, thus allowing the compression and exhaust chambers to communicate with each other through the bypass passage and allowing highly compressed refrigerant to be fed from the compression chamber back into the suction chamber at the initial stage of each exhaust stroke.
