  • Patent number: 6401472
    Abstract: In order to improve a refrigerant compressor apparatus comprising a drive motor, a compressor driven by the drive motor and having several cylinders arranged in a V shape and a compressor shaft bearing eccentrics for driving pistons operating in the respective cylinders in such a manner that as smooth a running as possible can be achieved at any desired V angle it is suggested that the cylinders be arranged at a V angle of less than 90°, that the compressor shaft be mounted with only two bearing sections thereof in corresponding compressor shaft bearings, that the eccentrics be arranged between the bearing sections and that a separate eccentric be provided for each piston and be arranged at a distance from the other, individual eccentrics for the respectively other pistons.

  • Patent number: 6325175
    Abstract: In order to improve a compressor for refrigerant, comprising a housing, at least one refrigerant-compressing element arranged in the housing, a shaft which has a section extending in the housing and driving the refrigerant-compressing element, a section passing through a wall of the housing and a drive section projecting out of the housing as well as a sealing arrangement effective between the section of the shaft passing through the wall and the housing and having a slide ring seal and an outer sealing ring, between which an oil receiving chamber is arranged, from which oil can be discharged via an oil outlet, in such a manner that, on the one hand, as little oil as possible leaks out and, on the other hand, as good a shut-off as possible in relation to the entry of air can be achieved it is suggested that an oil collecting area of the oil receiving chamber communicate via a siphon arrangement with an ascending channel which leads to an outlet for the oil.

  • Patent number: 6131406
    Abstract: In order to improve a refrigerant compressor comprising a motor unit which has a motor and a cooling duct for the motor originating from an outer cooling duct connection as well as a compressor unit which has a compressor stage with a compressor stage inlet and a compressor stage outlet and a suction duct originating from an outer suction connection, this duct, like the cooling duct, being guided to the compressor stage inlet, such that the cooling can be realized variably with as few constructional alterations as possible it is suggested that an outer connection unit be provided, on which the cooling duct connection and the suction connection are arranged, that the connection unit have a receiving means and an adjustment part which can be inserted into the receiving means in at least two different positions and that as a result of the various positions of the adjustment part the amounts supplied to the cooling duct connection and the suction connection of the total quantity of the suction gas supplied via an
