METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF COMPRESSORS AND REFRIGERATORS
Compressor with double compression chamber and gas purification process, having a set of movable mechanisms and fixed parts, and procedures for the preparation of refrigerators and hermetic compressors before filling with refrigerant gas, which greatly enhances the energetic efficiency and useful life of refrigeration compressors. Additional, by adding a process tube, made of copper, steel, or any other appropriate material to the side wall of the hermetic or semi-hermetic compressor, on its bottom, or attached vertically to the central base of the compressor. This additional tube and the traditional suction tubes, discharge process, follows an alternative construction format to enhance the efficiency and useful life of a refrigeration system.
Process and equipment for enhanced efficiency of compressors and refrigerators. This is a descriptive circumstantial report on the invention. It refers to this invention, which is a set of moveable mechanisms and immoveable parts, which are inserted in refrigeration compressors, as well as inserted in the refrigeration preparation process (and/or air conditioning appliances, drinking fountains, etc. . . ) it greatly improves the performance of these kinds of equipment, decreases electrical consumption, as well as; making cooling faster (i.e. achieve low temperatures), also increasing the useful life of these kinds of equipment, decreases maintenance costs (refrigeration repair technicians, it is a known fact; for example, refrigeration appliances when they are turned off for long periods of time, create rust inside, in the compressor, this problem will be done away with by using our invention, the subject of this patent request), it also makes it possible to manufacture compressors with decreased noise (therefore it runs more silently), smaller in size, lighter in weight, and less quantities of raw materials, among other benefits derived from using our invention, herein introduced and described, which is all part of this invention patent request.

Thus, on #3 indicates the oil level in the reservoir (when the compressor is at rest), on #4 indicates that reservoir. Scientifically, we have that the refrigerant gas has low density (much lower than the atmospheric air). The operator must prepare for the refrigerator, will be instructed to perform a different process of entering gas. For now, before you put gas in the system, it is only a vacuum by connecting a vacuum pump to the process pipe (see paragraph #25 of drawing
Making up a decontamination process prior to removal of “all air” still existing in-house system. Thus, the operation of placing gas compressors in refrigerators and in gas cylinders (whether coolant gases or fuel gas as in cooking gas cylinder, gas cylinder or soft drinks for resale at retail) will henceforth be performed using our technology in the previous withdrawal of all the air contained inside the container (it being understood as a container: the screw, cylinder, hermetic compressor, piping, refrigerator, etc. . . . ). The specific process of putting gas in the refrigerator (air concionado and related devices, will follow basically the following sequential steps:
1) have the prior process of vacuum (to remove internal moisture).
2) put a little gas in the system at a pressure of about ¼ or the normal working pressure for this pipe using the normal process (see paragraph #25 of
3) Wait about a half-time hours (ie leave the “rest system”) for heavier than air will settle on the bottom, above oil.
4) Using “clean pipe”, see n. 8 # en #2, removing the air that is under pressure deep inside the system, since opening the “clean pipe”, will come under pressure a little gas soda and all the atmospheric air, which is in the lower part of the system (because the air atmosphere is heavier than the refrigerant gas). However, the opening operation of the tube-to-clean, be quick, or controlled, not to allow the pressure falls to zero. That is, it is necessary to close the tube-to-clean quickly, so that it is a residual pressure (however small) within the system. Well, cannot return air into the system.
5) Seal (kneading and welding) the output of “clean pipe”.
6) complete gas charge. Important Note: Before operating with refrigerant, it is necessary to remove all existing in the atmospheric air hoses, pressure gauges (manifold), etc . . . Interestingly and unfortunately, this is not normally done by manufacturers and repair shops for refrigerators. The term described above as “clean pipe”, is a term created by us (for the occasion and necessity of this patent). Thus, this “clean pipe” specific, there is no refrigeration compressors in the current state of the art. Thus, for continuation and regularization of the procedures above to fix the exact amount of gas that must enter the system, you can use as alternatives, for example:
a) measuring the weight and volume of the amount of air left the system by “clean pipe” and compensate for this weight and volume, weight and volume of refrigerant to be introduced. Or,
b) measure the system pressure by adjusting it on the low side and high pressure. Or,
c) making up the various procedures of adjustment amount of gas inside the cooling system. The new process for high efficiency cooling, sometimes described putting gas in the sealed refrigeration systems free from any contamination, caters for all types of gas, for example: -A R134, R600, etc . . . So, you get better results for less miscible (ie the less miscible) is the refrigerant used with atmospheric air. To escape the need to use our technology-of-pipe decontamination, manufacturers of refrigerators and/or repair shops will try to use a device not advisable, not to add the tube-to-clean, but only to create a controllable output of the gas in the tube-of-process (see
In FIG. A clean tube, the part that becomes apparent, is indicated by the numbers 1 and 2, where n #1 indicates the point where the tube touches the wall of the compressor en #2 indicates the body of the tube-to-clean. However, the total length of the tube should be up near the center of the compressor. For, along the inner vertical walls of the compressor may contain refrigerant. The tube-to-decontamination shown in
It should also be noted that the tube-to-decontamination is straight, unlike the tubes, or existing, which are indicated by the numbers 25, 26 and 27 and are curved. This patent claims straight pipes (not curved, for all tubes from the compressor), this to avoid the five operations of welding, the weld drain liquid into the compressor, or the inside of the tube (for example, in welding oxy-acetylene, we use a cleaning product with the material flux and this cleaning product flows under the influence of fire, or heat weld). The cleaner oxy-acetylene welding is a contaminant of the refrigerant gas, so should be banned from the internal environment of the compressor (mainly welding in workshops cooling, it is a little product that will always stay inside but their quantity should be reduced to the lowest level).
