Abstract: A defroster restrains a vane jump that takes place when an evaporator is defrosted in a refrigerant circuit using a so-called internal intermediate-pressure type double-stage compression rotary compressor. The defroster includes a rotary compressor that discharges a refrigerant gas that has been compressed by a first rotary compressing unit into a hermetic vessel and further compresses the discharged intermediate-pressure refrigerant gas, a gas cooler, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. To defrost the evaporator, the refrigerant gas discharged from the second rotary compressing unit is introduced into the evaporator without decompressing it by the expansion valve. Furthermore, the refrigerant gas discharged from the first rotary compressing unit is introduced into the evaporator. At the same time, an electromotive unit of the rotary compressor is run at a predetermined number of revolutions.

Abstract: There is provided a rotary compressor capable of preventing deterioration of performance following plug fixing carried out to prevent falling-off of a spring member. The rotary compressor comprises a cylinder constituting a rotary compression element, a roller engaged with an eccentric portion formed in a rotary shaft of an electric element, and eccentrically rotated in the cylinder, a vane abutted on the roller to divide an inside of the cylinder into a low pressure chamber side and a high pressure chamber side, a spring member for always pressing the vane to the roller side, a housing portion of the spring member, formed in the cylinder, and opened to the vane side and a hermetically sealed container side, a plug positioned in the hermetically sealed container side of the spring member, and inserted into the housing portion to fit into a gap, and an O ring attached around the plug to seal a part between the plug and the housing portion.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to attain the downsizing of a closed rotary compressor while realizing separation of oil from gas without any problem, and since an electric motor is constituted by a motor of a magnetic pole concentrated winding type which includes: a stator fixed to the inner wall of a closed container; a rotator rotatably supported by a rotating shaft on the inner side of said stator; a stator core constituting said stator; a plurality of cog portions and slot portions formed to said stator core; and a stator winding directly wound around each cog portion utilizing the slot portions, a protrusion dimension of the winding from the stator core is reduced, and the excellent oil separation effect can be obtained.

Abstract: There is provided a highly reliable rotary compressor which uses polyalkylene glycol as a lubricant or polyalfa olefin as base oil in a compressor utilizing as a refrigerant carbon dioxide which is a natural refrigerant, and prevents abnormal abrasion of a roller and a vane.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a horizontal closed type compressor for vehicle use which can suck a lubricating oil from an oil suction pipe without an oil surface of the lubricating oil becoming lower than the oil suction pipe, even in the case that a vehicle is inclined and the compressor is accordingly inclined.

Abstract: An optical recording medium which comprises a substrate and a recording layer provided on the substrate by using an organic dye compound having absorption maximum in a region with wavelengths longer than that of a writing light used, and which records information by allowing to irradiate the recording layer with the writing light to act on the organic dye compound to form a pit on the substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel trimethine cyanine dyes, light absorbents, light-resistant improvers, and optical recording media which comprise the trimethine cyanine dyes. The cyanine dyes exert satisfactory solubility and heat resistance when used in high-density optical recording media.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-cylinder rotary compressor which can eliminate a number of balancers for preventing vibrations. Assuming that the mass eccentricity in a cylinder is m1×r1; the mass eccentricity in another cylinder is m2×r2; the mass eccentricity of a balancer attached to the lower side of a rotator is m3×r3; the mass eccentricity of another balancer attached to the upper side of the rotator is m4×r4; respective distances from the cylinder to another cylinder, the lower balancer and another balancer are L2, L3 and L4, when the balancing is attained with the expressions m1×r1+m4×r4=m2×r2+m3×r3, m4×r4×L4=m2×r2×L2+m3×r3×L3, and m1×r1=m2×r2, the lower balancer is eliminated and the mass eccentricity of the balancer is set to be not less than 20% and not more than 80% of m4×r4.
