  • Patent number: 6446462
    Abstract: It is desired to avoid lack of lubricant oil in any of a plurality of compressors disposed in parallel in a single refrigerant circuit. To achieve this result, a freezer unit is provided, wherein a first kind of oil return pipe leading to a refrigerant suction pipe of a first compressor from an oil separator installed in a discharged refrigerant junction pipe is installed, and a second kind of oil return pipe leading to a refrigerant suction pipe of a second compressor from the regular oil level height of the first compressor 1 is utilized.

  • Patent number: 6071099
    Abstract: A high-performance scroll compressor permits the prevention of the deformation of an end plate of a fixed scroll in a hermetically sealed vessel of a typical wall thickness and strength, thus obviating the need for increasing the wall thickness of the vessel or employing a material of higher strength to enhance the pressure resistance of the vessel. A partition is provided between the rear surface of the fixed scroll and the hermetically sealed vessel, and a hole of the partition is communicated with a discharge hole in the end plate of the fixed scroll. A covering member is mounted on the partition to form a muffler, and a discharge pipe is attached to the muffler.

  • Patent number: 6050794
    Abstract: A high-performance compressor is capable of preventing inadequate oil feed even if the compressor tilts or foams and it is also capable of reducing the amount of oil discharged. The compressor has a compression element and an electric element housed in a hermetically sealed vessel, the interior of the hermetically sealed vessel being divided into an oil reservoir chamber and a hermetically sealed chamber. Two oil pumps are mounted on one end of a rotary shaft and oil is sucked into one of the oil pumps from the oil reservoir chamber and fed to the compression element mounted on the other end of the rotary shaft; oil is sucked into the other oil pump from the hermetically sealed chamber and fed to the oil reservoir chamber.

  • Patent number: 5242284
    Abstract: A scroll compressor has a first scroll member and a second scroll member rotated in the same direction as the first scroll member. A limit plate is provided to limit an axial movement of one of the scroll members with respect to the other. A pressure chamber is formed between the limit plate and an end plate of the scroll member, and the pressure chamber is connected to a compression space formed by the two scroll members. A resilient sealing device is provided in the pressure chamber so that the sealing device is contacted with at least one of the limit plate and the end plate of the scroll member.

  • Patent number: 5242282
    Abstract: A scroll compressor incorporates an electric motor unit and a scroll compressor unit in a sealed container. The scroll compressor unit has a frame having a bearing at the center thereof, a first scroll driven by the electric motor unit having an end plate and a wrap of an involute curve projecting from the end plate, and a second scroll having an end plate and a wrap of an involute curve projecting from the end plate of the second scroll provided in a juxtaposed relation with the first scroll so that the wraps of the two scrolls are fitted closely together to form a plurality of compression spaces. A driving device rotates the second scroll in the same direction as the first scroll.

  • Patent number: 4838773
    Abstract: A scroll compressor according to the present invention has a fixed scroll member and an orbiting scroll member, the latter being arranged in a juxtaposed relation with the former so that wraps thereof are fitted closely together, an electric motor having a driving shaft, and a swing link between the orbiting scroll member and the electric motor for transferring a rotational force generated by the electric motor to the orbiting scroll member. The swing link has an opening for receiving a boss of the orbiting scroll member and an eccentric opening to receive a driving pin of the driving shaft so that the orbiting scroll member orbits but does not rotate relative to the fixed scroll member.
