Abstract: The present invention provides an improved refrigerant compressor comprising an overall casing, an electric motor with a stator and a rotor which is mounted on a drive shaft, and a screw compressor. A compressor screw of the screw compressor is mounted on the drive shaft, which is rotatably mounted in the casing by a first radial bearing between the rotor and the compressor screw and a second radial bearing disposed on a side of the compressor screw lying opposite the first radial bearing. The drive shaft is mounted in the casing by a third radial bearing disposed on a side of the rotor lying opposite the first radial bearing. A portion of the drive shaft which extends between the first radial bearing and one of the second and third radial bearings being adapted to compensate for alignment errors between the three radial bearings.

Abstract: In a screw compressor for gaseous media, in particular refrigerants, comprising a compressor housing, two screw rotors arranged in screw rotor bores in the compressor housing, which are rotatingly drivable and interact to compress the medium, and a control slide arranged adjacent the screw rotors and movable in a direction of displacement for controlling the compression of the screw compressor, in order to solve the problem that the compression of the screw compressor can be controlled, but not precisely regulated, it is proposed that a scannable element, which is scannable with a measuring sensor so as to recognize a position of the control slide in the direction of displacement, be coupled with the control slide.

Abstract: In order to improve a screw compressor for compressing a working medium, comprising an outer housing, two screw rotors which are arranged in the outer housing in rotor bores provided for them and a drive for the screw rotors, in such a manner that the sealing gap is subject to as little variation as possible it is suggested that a compressor screw housing, in which the rotor bores for the screw rotors are arranged, be provided within the outer housing and that a space be arranged between a substantial part of the compressor screw housing and the outer housing.

Abstract: A casting mold member is produced from a master which has a section with a spirally symmetrical outer contour such that the casting mold member surrounds the section in an azimuthally closed manner with respect to the axis of symmetry. The casting mold member is used to provide a casting mold. The casting mold member is filled by feeding a cast iron melt, and solidifying the melt by using a graphitization pressure to prevent cavities and pores in the casting and by chilling the melt to obtain shell hardening.
