  • Patent number: 7251949
    Abstract: A refrigerant system 1D comprises a heat insulating housing 3 provided with an accommodating space inside and a refrigeration unit 9 attached to a lower portion of the heat insulating housing 3, in which a compressor 5, a gas cooler 6, an internal heat exchanger 10, a restriction means 16 and an evaporator 8 accommodated in a heat insulating case 7A are disposed on a unit base 4. The gas cooler 6 and the heat insulating case 7A are disposed so that air heat-exchanged by the gas cooler 6 moves toward the heat insulating case 7A, an air passage T is provided between the unit base 4 and the heat insulating case 7A, the air heat-exchanged by the gas cooler 6 is passed through the air passage T to be discharged outside, and the internal heat exchanger 10 is disposed in such a manner that it is embedded in a heat insulating material layer 7C provided around the heat insulating case 7A to be provided with a heat insulation property.

  • Patent number: 7223082
    Abstract: A so-called internal intermediate pressure multistage compression type rotary compressor makes it possible to prevent the pressure inside a roller from inconveniently increasing and also to permit smooth and reliable supply of oil into a cylinder of a second rotary compressing element by a relatively simple construction. A lubrication groove for providing communication between an oil bore and a low-pressure chamber in the cylinder is formed in a surface of an intermediate partitioner that is adjacent to the cylinder of the second rotary compressing element. Furthermore, a through bore for providing communication between a hermetically sealed vessel and the inside of the roller is formed in the intermediate partitioner.

  • Publication number: 20040076537
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-cylinder rotary compressor which can enhance the reliability by improving the compression efficiency/mechanical efficiency. The bearings are fixed on the inner wall of the closed container, the cylinders are fixed to the bearings, and a gap is formed between the respective cylinders and the inner wall of the closed container. The design with the relatively large internal volume of the closed container is possible, and the reliability can be enhanced. Further, improvement in the compression efficiency and the mechanical efficiency can be achieved with the compact multi-cylinder rotary compression element.
