Abstract: A refrigerant compressor that enhances compressor efficiency by both reducing an amplitude of pressure pulsations and reducing pressure losses in a discharge muffler space into which is discharged a refrigerant compressed at a compression unit. A low-stage discharge muffler space is formed in the shape of a ring around a drive shaft. In the low-stage discharge muffler space, a discharge port rear guide is provided in the proximity of a discharge port through which is discharged the refrigerant compressed by a low-stage compression unit. The discharge port rear guide is provided at a flow path in one direction out of two flow paths from the discharge port to a communication port in different directions around the drive shaft, and prevents the refrigerant from flowing in that direction, thereby causing the refrigerant to circulate in a forward direction in the ring-shaped discharge muffler space.

Abstract: Scroll type fluid machinery, in which two stationary scrolls (2A, 2B) are fixed onto a housing (1), and form volume changing mechanisms (50A, 50B) with matching orbiting scrolls (3A, 3B). Three orbiting units (40) are located between the two volume changing mechanisms. Each orbiting unit comprises a rotating member (10) and a thrust-cancelling shaft (20). Assembly sets of the thrust-canceling shaft consist of turning elements and a connector, which in turn connects with orbiting scrolls through threads. There exists only circumferential constraint but no axial constraint between the connector and the turning element. Rotating turning element will rotate the connector, and thus move the two orbiting scrolls closer or farther through the threads on the connector. The rotating member of this invention further provides a larger space to the supporting bearings (14A, 14B) of the thrust-canceling shaft, and also eases component manufacturing, machinery's assembly and adjustment, and bearings' cooling.

Abstract: A 2 stage rotary compressor is provided that includes a hermetic container that defines an outward appearance of the compressor; a 2 stage compression assembly provided in the hermetic container, wherein a low pressure cylinder, a middle plate, and a high pressure cylinder are successively stacked from any one of upper and lower portions; and first discharge port that discharges refrigerant compressed in the low pressure cylinder, and having an inner volume equivalent to 0.5% to 2.5% of an inner volume of the low pressure cylinder. A valve is installed on or under the discharge port. When the valve is opened, compressed refrigerant is discharged through the discharge port. When the valve is closed, refrigerant remains in the discharge port as much as the volume of the discharge port. Accordingly, refrigerant remaining in the discharge port is re-expanded in the cylinder, to thereby cause a compression loss.

Abstract: A positive displacement rotary machine with a body having an internal spherical cavity, a rotor, and a ring working cavity formed by the body and the rotor. The working cavity is functionally divided into bypass and propulsion halves. A separator embodied in the form of a wobble plate is mounted in the working cavity at an angle to the rotor. A piston with a sealable through-slot for the separator passage is mounted in a slot made in the rotor. Multiple openings made through the separator in the propulsion half of the cavity make the separator transparent for the working medium flow. The openings are small enough so the separator seals the through-slot of the piston. The configuration allows for one input port and one output port on the opposite sides of the separator in the bypass half to make the supply steady.
