Patent number: 6478550Abstract: A first bypass valve (27) that sets discharge capacity to 60% is provided in a first scroll 21 of an asymmetrical spiral-type scroll compressor. Also, a second bypass valve (40) that makes suction side and discharge side communicated with each other so that set load of the compressor becomes 50% is provided outside a scroll of the first scroll (21). In this way, by closing the first and second bypass valves (27, 40), effective load of the compressor is set to 100%. Also, by opening the first bypass valve (27) and concurrently closing the second bypass valve (40), the effective load of the compressor is set to 60%. Further, by opening both the first and second bypass valves (27, 40), the effective load of the compressor is set to 30%.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2002Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Matsuba, Shigeki Hagiwara, Yoshitaka Shibamoto, Hiroyuki Kuroiwa

Patent number: 6416851Abstract: A porous bronze 1b and a resin 1c impregnated in pores of the porous bronze 1b formed on a backing metal 1a constitute a bearing 1. At a surface to be brought into contact with a crank shaft 5, porous bronze 1b and resin 1c are sparsely exposed. Ratio of area of exposure of porous bronze 1b at the contact surface 1d is at least 5% and at most 60%. Thus a bearing for a refrigerating compressor having high seizure resistance at the time of boundary lubrication and having small amount of wear caused by sliding as well as a refrigerating compressor employing the same can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1999Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Kuroiwa, Kenji Matsuba, Toshiaki Yoshii, Masaki Nomura, Hiroshi Kitaura

Further, by opening both the first and second bypass valves (27, 40), the effective load of the compressor is set to 30%. That is, 50% or lower partial load operation with high reliability is performed by setting volume ratio Vr during minimum capacity operation to a value of “1” or more. As a result of this, 50% or lower partial load operation can be changed over in multiple stages.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2002Publication date: June 13, 2002Applicant: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Matsuba, Shigeki Hagiwara, Yoshitaka Shibamoto, Hiroyuki Kuroiwa

Patent number: 6139287Abstract: A scroll type fluid machine having a bypass hole structure for capacity control is disclosed. The scroll type fluid machine comprises a first scroll having a first spiral blade, and a second scroll having a second spiral blade. A first fluid working chamber is formed between an inner surface of the first spiral blade, and a second scroll having a second spiral blade. A first fluid working chamber is formed between an inner surface of the first spiral blade and an outer surface of the second spiral blade, and a second fluid working chamber is formed between an outer surface of the first spiral blade and an inner surface of the second spiral blade. A winding end of the first spiral blade is extended so that the first fluid working chamber and the second fluid working chamber open and close with respect to a single low-pressure port. A common bypass hole making the first and second fluid working chambers communicate with the low-pressure port in common is provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1998Date of Patent: October 31, 2000Assignee: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Kuroiwa, Shigeki Hagiwara

Patent number: 4190372Abstract: Sludge deposit is stored in a sludge deposit receiving hopper, and the stored sludge deposit is fed onto a belt conveyor and transferred to a mixer. A hardener is fed to this mixer from a hardener hopper. A conveyor belt is disposed on the belt conveyor to measure the quantity of the sludge deposit transferred by the belt conveyor. According to this measured value of the transferred sludge deposit, the quantity of the sludge deposit fed from the sludge deposit receiving hopper and the quantity of the hardener fed from the hardener hopper are controlled. The sludge deposit is mixed and kneaded with the hardener, and the sludge deposit is solidified.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1976Date of Patent: February 26, 1980Assignee: Takenaka Komuten Co., Inc.Inventors: Atsushi Takagi, Hiroyuki Kuroiwa, Mitsuo Miura, Teruo Mizuhata, Takefumi Ito, Masao Miyaguchi, Tateo Kawamura
