Abstract: A compressor including a motor having a rotary shaft, a rotor and a stator, and an impeller at a front end of the rotary shaft to suction refrigerant in an axial direction and compress the refrigerant in a centrifugal direction. The compressor has a collar at a rear end of the rotary shaft and coupled to the rotary shaft to be extended outwardly in a radial direction of the rotary shaft. Radial bearings support a radial movement of the rotary shaft at a front and rear of the stator. A thrust bearing prevents an axial movement of the rotary shaft. A mechanical backup bearing also prevents the axial movement of the rotary shaft. A fixing unit supports the backup bearing at the rear end of the rotary shaft, wherein the backup bearing is arranged to overlap the thrust bearing in the radial direction of the rotary shaft.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compressor and a chiller system including the compressor, the compressor comprising: one or more impellers for suctioning a refrigerant in an axial direction and compressing the same in a centrifugal direction; a rotary shaft formed so as to rotate the impeller; a collar coupled to the rotary shaft so as to extend outward in the radial direction of the rotary shaft; a thrust magnetic bearing formed so as to support the collar by means of a magnetic field, thereby preventing axial movement of the rotary shaft; and a mechanical backup bearing formed so as to prevent axial movement of the rotary shaft, wherein the backup bearing is disposed so as to overlap a portion of the thrust magnetic bearing in the radial direction of the rotary shaft.
