  • Patent number: 6599102
    Abstract: Disclosed are a gas compressor and an air conditioning system in which an anomalous temperature rise in an electro-magnetic clutch is detected at an early stage to stop the operation of the gas compressor. A temperature sensor is mounted at a position in the vicinity of a portion of the electro-magnetic clutch which is subject to anomalous heat generation. When there is a rise in the temperature as detected by the temperature sensor, a driving circuit of the electro-magnetic clutch is interrupted before trouble is caused by an abnormally high temperature.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20030095885
    Abstract: To provide a gas compressor in which fretting wear due to vibration of an oil separation filter is prevented to thereby achieve an improvement in durability. A gas compressor is provided with a press-fixing unit for press-fixing end portions of an oil separation filter.

  • Publication number: 20030031577
    Abstract: To provide a gas compressor in which a gas leakage from compression chambers is suppressed to thereby make it possible to enhance compressor characteristics such as a volumetric efficiency. A seal member is interposed between a cylinder of a gas compressor and two side blocks for sealing both end faces of the cylinder, and the seal member is arranged at a position for separating inside and outside of the cylinder so as to surround an opening of a hollow portion of the cylinder. The end face of the cylinder is brought into intimate contact with the end surface of a rear side block or a front side block. Then, the confronting surfaces of the two members are brought into intimate contact with each other to form a close contact portion.

  • Patent number: 6478551
    Abstract: An air conditioning compressor is equipped with an oil separator for separating high-pressure refrigerant gas and lubrication oil into a gas component and an oil component. The compressor's casing has a barrel portion surrounding an outer portion of the compressor and an enlarged case potion extending from the barrel portion. The enlarged case portion has a discharge chamber disposed between an inner surface of the casing and a rear portion of the compressor for temporarily holding the gas component and the oil component. An oil sump within the discharge chamber is dimensioned to store a sufficient amount of the oil component to suppress an increase in the oil circulation ratio of an air conditioning system while maintaining a sufficient amount of the lubrication oil in the compressor casing to lubricate the compressor.
