Abstract:
The present invention provides the art with a scroll machine which has a plurality of built-in volume ratios along with their respective design pressure ratios. The incorporation of more than one built-in volume ratio allows a single compressor to be optimized for more than one operating condition. The operating envelope for the compressor will determine which of the various built-in volume ratios is going to be selected. Each volume ratio includes a discharge passage extending between one of the pockets of the scroll machine and the discharge chamber. All but the highest volume ration utilize a valve controlling the flow through the discharge passage.

Abstract:
The present invention provides the art with a scroll machine which has a plurality of built-in volume ratios along with their respective design pressure ratios and comprising a shell having an end cap, said end cap defining a barrier between a chamber defined by said shell and an environment outside said scroll machine; a first scroll member disposed within said chamber having a first spiral wrap projecting outwardly from a first end plate; a second scroll member disposed within said chamber having a second spiral wrap projecting outwardly from second end plate, said second scroll wrap being interleaved with said first spiral wrap; a drive member for causing said spiral wraps to orbit with respect to one another whereby said spiral wraps create pockets of progressively changing volume between a suction pressure zone at a suction pressure and a discharge pressure zone at a discharge pressure; a first annular seal engaging said end cap and said first scroll member, said first annular seal being disposed around a hole extending through said end cap.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor incorporates a vapor injection system where only one vapor injection port is utilized. The single vapor injection port injects refrigerant vapor into two of the initially formed enclosed spaces. The scrolls of the scroll compressor are designed with asymmetric wraps where the non-orbiting scroll wrap extends angularly further than the orbiting scroll wrap.
Abstract:
A refrigeration system has a compressor which incorporates fluid injection into one or more of the fluid pockets. A source of fluid for injection into the pockets is attached directly to the shell of the compressor to eliminate the need for having fluid piping between the source of fluid and the compressor. The source of fluid can be a flash tank which increases the capacity and efficiency of the system or the source of fluid can be a heat exchanger which also increases the capability and efficiency of the system.
Abstract:
A compressor includes orbiting and non-orbiting scrolls forming first and second fluid pockets therebetween. First and second ports are disposed in the non-orbiting scroll and radially spaced apart from each other. The first port communicates with the first pocket at a first radial position and the second port communicates with the second pocket at a second radial position. A blocking device is movable between a first position preventing communication between the ports and a fluid source and a second position allowing communication between the ports and the fluid source. The first and second pockets have first and second pressures, respectively. One of the pressures may have a disproportionate pressure change compared to the other of the pressures after at least one of the pockets communicates with the fluid source through at least one of the ports. The disproportionate pressure change biases the orbiting scroll relative to the non-orbiting scroll.
Abstract:
A system may include a compressor, a heat exchanger, an expansion device, and first and second working fluid flow paths. The compressor may include a compression mechanism and a motor. The heat exchanger may receive compressed working fluid from the compressor. The expansion device may be disposed downstream of the heat exchanger. The first working fluid flow path may fluidly connect the heat exchanger and the expansion device. The second working fluid flow path may be disposed downstream of the heat exchanger and may fluidly connect the heat exchanger with the compressor. The second working fluid flow path may provide compressed working fluid to the compression mechanism and to the motor.
Abstract:
A compressor may include first and second scroll members and first and second pistons. The first scroll member includes a first end plate and a first scroll wrap. The second scroll member includes a second end plate and a second scroll wrap that is intermeshed with the first scroll wrap to define moving fluid pockets. The second end plate may include a first and second passages, first and second recesses, and first and second ports extending through the second end plate and communicating with at least one of the pockets. The first piston may be disposed in the first recess and movable between first and second positions controlling communication between the first passage and the first port. The second piston may be disposed in the second recess and movable between first and second positions controlling communication between at least one of the pockets and said second passage.
Abstract:
A compressor may include a first scroll member, a second scroll member and a drive shaft. The first scroll member may include a first end plate defining a first discharge port and a first spiral wrap extending from the first end plate. The second scroll member may include a second end plate defining a first variable volume ratio port and a second spiral wrap extending from the second end plate and meshingly engaged with the first spiral wrap and forming compression pockets. The variable volume ratio port may be located radially outward relative to the first discharge port and in communication with a first compression pocket. The drive shaft may be engaged with the second scroll member and driving orbital displacement of the second scroll member relative to the first scroll member.
