  • Patent number: 10578107
    Abstract: Typical liquid-cooled compressors use the effective means of reducing no-load power by repeatedly starting and stopping an electric motor according to the amount of required air, but sufficient consideration has not been given to the fact that frequent starting and stopping of large-output electric motors leads to a decline in motor reliability. In order to solve this problem, a liquid-cooled compressor for circulating a liquid inside a compressor body using a pressure difference, and equipped with a cooling channel for circulating said liquid for cooling, configured so as to have an intake valve for adjusting the air intake of the compressor body, to change the amount of air taken in through the intake valve, and as a result, to perform a low-pressure operation during no-load operation at two levels of reduced operating pressure consisting of a value no less than a minimum circulation oil supply pressure and a low value.

  • Patent number: 10393116
    Abstract: A compressor has a compressor body and a motor integrated with one another, with the structure in which the sub-assembly of the motor portion and the compressor body assembled by positioning centers of the motor and compressor casings with positioning pins. When the deformation of a flange surface of the motor casing is large on a side of the compressor casing, positioning pin holes may have positional dimensions where the positioning is difficult, and the rigidity of the motor casing is increased to avoid change to the dimensional positions of the pin holes of the motor casing after the sub-assembly process. Fastening seats to fasten a motor stator by use of fastening members and ribs to reinforce the fastening seats are thus provided inside the motor casing to increase rigidity of the motor casing and inhibit deformation of the positional dimensions of the positional pin holes.
