  • Patent number: 10174747
    Abstract: Semi-commanded valve system applied to an alternative-type compressor with at least a cylinder (1), at least a piston (2), at least a compression chamber (3), and at least one valve (71;81) acting in their respective orifice (7;8). Said at least one valve (71;81) is prestressed in a first operation state and is able to act as a check valve. Furthermore, said at least one valve (71;81) has at least a ferrous portion and can be selectively actuated by a magnetic field generating element (72;82). Method of modulating the capacity of a compressor provided with such a semi-commanded valve system.

  • Publication number: 20140044569
    Abstract: The present invention pertaining to the field of refrigeration equipments was designed to allow an unexpected construction and operation, and which is more efficient than the one achieved by using existing similar equipments. It is consisted of a compressor (1) comprised of a shell (2) within which it is located a compression cylinder (3), whereas from the shell (2) it is projected an inlet tube (5) from an evaporator and a discharge tube (6), which conducts the fluid into a condenser; at least one pre-condenser (7) associated with the compressor (1), the pre-condenser (7) being fed by a tubing (8) from the compression cylinder (3) located within the compressor (1), and equipped with an outlet tube (11); and a heat exchanger (91) internal to the outer region of the compressor (1) and cooperative with the pre-condenser (7) through the outlet tube (11) of the pre-condenser (7), the heat exchanger (91) comprising tubes attached around the shell (2) of the compressor (1).

  • Publication number: 20130045119
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermally efficient refrigeration compressor, comprising a housing which surrounds the component parts of the compressor and a heat accumulating material occupying a volume internal (4, 7, 15, 18, 23, 27) or adjacent (9, 11, 30, 32, 37) to the compressor housing. Accordingly, the present invention takes advantage of the thermodynamics existing between the compressor and the refrigeration system, achieving a reduction of the internal temperatures reliably and efficiently and consequently improving the performance of the compressor.
