  • Publication number: 20130177404
    Abstract: This compression device comprises first and second compressors mounted in parallel, a suction line intended to be connected to an outlet of an evaporator, first and second suction conduits arranged for putting the suction line respectively in communication with the admission orifices of the first and second compressors, and an oil level equalization conduit connecting the oil pans of the first and second compressors. The compression device further comprises an oil separator mounted on the suction line or on the second suction conduit, and an oil return conduit arranged for connecting an oil outflow orifice of the oil separator to the oil pan of the first compressor.

  • Publication number: 20130156612
    Abstract: The oil injection device according to the invention includes an oil pump designed to be rotationally coupled to the electric motor of a compressor and including inlet and outlet ports, an oil injection duct connected to the first outlet port and designed to supply a compression stage of the compressor with oil, and an oil return duct connected to the first outlet port and designed to return the oil into an oil sump of the compressor. The pressure losses in the oil injection duct are primarily singular pressure losses proportional to the square of the oil flow rate passing through the oil injection duct. The pressure losses in the oil return duct are primarily pressure losses due to friction proportional to the oil flow rate passing through the oil return duct.

  • Publication number: 20130156623
    Abstract: The compressor includes a sealed enclosure containing a compression stage, an electric motor having a stator and a rotor, an oil pump rotationally coupled to the rotor, including an oil inlet port connected to an oil sump, and control means arranged to command the operation of the motor in a start-up mode in which the rotor is rotated at a first speed of rotation included in a first speed range, and a normal operating mode in which the rotor is rotated at a second speed of rotation included in a second speed range higher than the first speed range. The compressor includes an oil injection device having an oil injection duct connected to a first oil outlet port of the oil pump and arranged to supply the compression stage with oil.

  • Publication number: 20130136642
    Abstract: The scroll refrigeration compressor according to the invention includes a sealed enclosure at least partially defining a discharge chamber designed to be connected to a discharge line, and a discharge valve attached on the sealed enclosure and fluidly connected to the discharge chamber. The discharge valve includes a valve body, a valve seat, and a discharge check valve movable between a covering position and a released position. The discharge valve includes deflection means positioned in the valve body and arranged to orient the flow of refrigerant coming from the discharge line at least partially toward the periphery of the discharge check valve.

  • Publication number: 20130098100
    Abstract: The refrigeration compressor according to the invention includes a sealed enclosure containing a compression stage and provided with a refrigerant inlet and outlet, the compressor being configured such that under usage conditions, a flow of refrigerant circulates through the refrigerant inlet, the compression stage, and the refrigerant outlet. The compressor has an oil pan and oil recirculation means arranged to orient the oil contained in the oil pan into the flow of refrigerant when the oil in the oil pan exceeds a predetermined oil level. The recirculation means include a recirculation line housed in the sealed enclosure and including an inlet port situated at a height substantially corresponding to the predetermined oil level, an outlet port emerging in the refrigerant flow, and an intermediate part connecting the inlet and outlet ports. The intermediate part includes a first portion extending below the predetermined oil level.
