Patent number: 8794940Abstract: This compressor comprises first and second volutes describing an orbital relative movement and each comprising a plate from which a spiral extends, the two spirals being engaged one inside the other and defining pairs of compression chambers of variable volume. The compressor has a housing formed in that surface of the plate of the first volute which is turned towards the spirals, which housing opens into one of the compression chambers, refrigerant delivery means leading into the housing, and a nonreturn device being mounted in the housing, the nonreturn device preventing communication between the delivery means and the compression chamber into which housing opens in a first or closed position, and allowing communication between the delivery means and said compression chamber in a second or open position.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2009Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Danfoss Commercial CompressorsInventors: Christophe Ancel, Pierre Ginies, Pierre Emilien Clement

Patent number: 8075290Abstract: Compressor has a fixed scroll and a scroll movable in an orbit relative to the fixed scroll. The fixed and movable scrolls are equipped with a spiral wrap that engage each other and delimit variable-volume compression chambers. The spiral wrap of the movable scroll has a stepped portion extending over at least a portion of its length. At least one of the scrolls defines a passage for communication, during orbital movement of the movable scroll, between two compression chambers, with the ends of the passage terminating respectively on either side of the outer and inner walls of the spiral wrap of the scroll with the passage or inside the outer and inner walls of the spiral wrap of the scroll with the passage. The passage has a check valve for allowing fluid to flow only from the outer wall of the spiral wrap of the scroll with the passage to the inner wall.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2009Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Danfoss Commerical CompressorsInventors: Pierre Ginies, Christophe Ancel, Dominique Gross

Patent number: 6715999Abstract: In a compressor at least one bypass valve is arranged in a low-pressure zone inside a casing of the compressor. The bypass valve defines a chamber connected by a first duct to at least one compression pocket situated in the peripheral zone of the compression stage and by a second duct to the low-pressure zone, the two ducts opening near one another so that they can be shut off by a shutter which can move in the chamber, being guided by the walls that delimit this chamber, a third duct intended for conveying a shutter-control fluid opening into the lower wall of the chamber of the valve. The shutter is opened by gravity when no control fluid is applied.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2002Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: Danfoss Maneurop S.A.Inventors: Christophe Ancel, Yves Rosson, Jean De Bernardi
