  • Patent number: 10712058
    Abstract: A rotary compressor includes: a closed upright cylindrical compressor housing including an upper portion provided with a discharge section of refrigerant and a body portion provided with an intake section of the refrigerant; a compression section disposed at a lower part in the compressor housing and configured to compress the refrigerant suctioned by the intake section to discharge the refrigerant from the discharge section; and a motor disposed at an upper part in the compressor housing and configured to drive the compression section. The motor has a rotor disposed on an inner side and a stator disposed on an outer side, the refrigerant is HFO1123 refrigerant or a refrigerant mixture containing the HFO1123 refrigerant, and an inner welded portion formed by welding using flux is provided within a projection area of the rotor at the upper portion of the compressor housing.

  • Patent number: 10359201
    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes: a heat transfer pipe in which refrigerant flows; and a spiral groove formed at an inner peripheral surface of the heat transfer pipe. A height of an inner wall of the groove in a radial direction of the heat transfer pipe is equal to or greater than 0.1 [mm], and when a wetted edge length of the heat transfer pipe is S, an inclination angle between a pipe axis direction of the heat transfer pipe and a longitudinal direction of the groove in a section of the heat transfer pipe parallel with the pipe axis direction is ?, and a length of the heat transfer pipe is L, the inclination angle ? is an acute angle, and a wetted area S×L/cos ? of the heat transfer pipe satisfies S×L/cos ??0.5 [m2].
