  • Patent number: 6413061
    Abstract: A rotary compressor comprises a cylinder having an inner space and a groove, a roller sliding along the inside of the inner space of the cylinder, a vane penetrating through the groove, and refrigerant. The groove penetrates through the outside and inner space of the cylinder. The vane slides on the roller, and the vane also slides in and out of the groove. The vane includes stainless steel formed by sintering of powder material, a nitrogen diffusion layer disposed on the surface of the stainless steel, and a compound layer of iron and nitrogen disposed on the surface of the nitrogen diffusion layer. The stainless steel has a plurality of fine pores formed by sintering of powder material. The plurality of fine pores have a porosity of 15% or less.

  • Patent number: 6142756
    Abstract: A vane of a compressor is made of solid phase sintering material of which a sintering density is not less than 7.2g/cm.sup.3 and a hollow rate is not more than 10%, and to which CrN phase is adhered through a PVD process. A roller of the compressor is made of hardened and tempered material having a hardness equal to cast iron FC300 (specified by JIS). The roller may be made of hardened and tempered material including at least one of Ni, Cr and Mo, and having a hardness equal to cast iron FC300. The vane and roller are combined, so that a sliding section having excellent abrasion-resistance can be constructed. As a result, a rotary compressor, which employs R134a or R22 coolant as well as HFC system or HC system coolant both of which are R22 substitutes, having extremely high reliability can be realized.
