  • Patent number: 10544799
    Abstract: Provided are a centrifugal compressor gas-supplementing structure and a compressor using the foregoing gas-supplementing structure. The centrifugal compressor gas-supplementing structure includes a annular gas-supplementing passage (6) for introducing supplemented gas into a gas passage (5) of a compressor, and an airflow-guiding assembly is provided in the annular gas-supplementing passage (6). The gas-guiding assembly is used for adjusting a direction of the supplemented gas flowing into the gas passage (5), so that an angle between a direction of the supplemented gas flowing into the gas passage (5) and a direction of an airflow in the gas passage (5) falls within a preset range, and a turbulence loss generated when the two passages of gas merge is avoided to the greatest extent, thereby improving cycle efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20190310072
    Abstract: A grating measuring device includes: a light source module (300) for generating two light beams having different frequencies, one of which serves as a measuring beam and the other as a reference beam; a grating (200); and a grating measuring probe (100) including a dual-frequency light reception module, a vertical measurement module, a vertical detection module and a reference detection module. The dual-frequency light reception module is configured to receive the measuring and reference beams, and the vertical measurement module is adapted to project the measuring beam onto the grating (200), collect a zeroth-order diffracted beam resulting from double diffraction occurring at the grating, and feed the zeroth-order diffracted beam to the vertical detection module. The zeroth-order diffracted beam interferes with the reference beam in the vertical detection module, resulting in a vertical interference signal.

  • Patent number: 10323653
    Abstract: The invention discloses a centrifugal compressor. The centrifugal compressor includes multiple stages of compression units which are communicated in sequence. Each stage of compression unit includes a diffusion cavity (1) and a diffusion adjustment device, wherein the diffusion adjustment device includes a movable member (21) configured to change a radial flow area of the diffusion cavity (1) provided in correspondence thereto, the movable member (21) being movably provided in an axial direction of the centrifugal compressor. The invention also discloses a centrifugal unit having the centrifugal compressor. The movable member of each stage of compression unit of the centrifugal compressor changes the radial flow area of the diffusion cavity of this stage of compression unit, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of surging.

  • Publication number: 20190086124
    Abstract: Disclosed is a high-temperature air conditioning device. By changing an arrangement mode of throttle valves, a pressure of refrigerant inside a low-pressure pipeline is made to be lower than a pressure of refrigerant inside a medium-pressure pipeline, thus ensuring that the refrigerant, used for cooling components, inside the low-pressure pipeline has a low pressure, thereby solving a problem in the prior art that a frequency converter, a motor and lubricating oil are not cooled sufficiently or cannot be cooled due to excessively high evaporation pressure.
