Patent number: 11927187Abstract: A compressor includes a shell, a bearing housing, an orbiting scroll, a non-orbiting scroll and a spacer. The bearing housing includes a central body and a plurality of arms extending radially outwardly from the central body. Each of the arms has a first aperture. The non-orbiting scroll is meshingly engaged with the orbiting scroll and includes a plurality of second apertures. Each second aperture receives a bushing defining a first longitudinal axis and a fastener defining a second longitudinal axis. The fastener extends through the bushing and into a corresponding one of the first apertures in the bearing housing. The spacer is disposed between the bushing and the fastener of each second aperture and is configured to engage one of the bushing and the fastener to restrict radial misalignment between the first longitudinal axis of the bushing and the second longitudinal axis of the fastener.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Copeland LPInventors: Harry B. Clendenin, Dennis D. Pax, Larry L Bingham, Keith J. Reinhart, Nicholas J. Altstadt

Patent number: 11248605Abstract: A compressor includes a shell, a compression mechanism and a fitting. The shell includes an opening and defines a chamber. The compression mechanism is disposed within the chamber of the shell. The fitting is attached to the shell at the opening. Working fluid flowing through the fitting flows to the compression mechanism. The opening is partially defined by a first edge and a second edge. The first edge includes a first planar surface and the second edge includes a second planar surface that faces the first planar surface. A first portion of the fitting extends at least partially into the opening and a second portion of the fitting abuts against the first and second edges.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2020Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Keith J. Reinhart, Larry L. Bingham

Patent number: 9581161Abstract: A scroll machine can include a shell, a first scroll member, a second scroll member and a valve assembly. The valve assembly can permit intermediate pressure in the shell to flow to an area of suction pressure in the shell. The valve assembly can include a first valve manifold that selectively couples to the shell. A second valve manifold can slidably and non-threadably locate against the first valve manifold. A retainer can couple to the first valve manifold to capture the second valve manifold against the first valve manifold. A valve can selectively connect an intermediate flow exiting the shell through the first and second valve manifolds to a suction flow entering the shell.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2013Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Larry L. Bingham, Keith J. Reinhart

Patent number: 9502873Abstract: A compressor electrical component enclosure may include a base and a lid. The base may include first and second opposing surfaces and a magnet. The magnet may be coupled to the second surface and may secure the base to a compressor shell. The lid may engage the base and cooperate with the base to define an electrical component housing.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2011Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Larry L. Bingham, Kenneth J. Monnier, Anne Dariene Powell, Stephen Shotaro Sakai, Matthew Paul Dunn, George A. Clark
