  • Publication number: 20240133379
    Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a compression chamber that compresses a fluid, an outer peripheral passage into which the fluid flows from a motor chamber, and a suction passage draws in the fluid from the outer peripheral passage to the compression chamber. The compression chamber is defined by a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll. The outer peripheral passage is defined by a third peripheral wall of a discharge housing member and a fixed peripheral wall of the fixed scroll. The suction passage is provided in the fixed peripheral wall and includes an upstream-side outer peripheral surface located between the suction passage and an electric motor in an axial direction of a rotary shaft. A distance from an axis of the rotary shaft to the upstream-side outer peripheral surface varies in the axial direction of the rotary shaft.

  • Patent number: 9879335
    Abstract: This welded structure comprises a weld metal which contains C, Si, Mn, Cr, Mo, V, Nb, N and O in prescribed amounts respectively with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities and which exhibits an A value of 200 or more and a Z value of 0.05 or more. The A value is calculated from the element contents of the weld metal according to the formula: A value=([V]/51+[Nb]/93)/{[V]×([Cr]/5+[Mo]/2)}×104. The Z value is calculated according to the formula: Z value=N×[insol. V] [wherein N (particles/?m) is the number density of carbide particles present in a prior austenite grain boundary per unit grain boundary in the stress-relief annealed weld metal, and [insol. V] is the concentration of compound-type V as determined by analyzing an extraction residue of the stress-relief annealed weld metal].
