    摘要: A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a compressor having an impeller configured to rotate and drive a working fluid through a working fluid circuit of the HVAC system in an active operating mode. The HVAC system further includes a controller configured to, in response to receiving an input indicative of a transition to operate in an inactive operating mode, suspend the active operating mode by interrupting a supply of power to the compressor, adjust pre-rotation vanes of the compressor, a variable geometry diffuser of the compressor to a first position, or both to enable a backflow of the working fluid through the compressor for a first interval of time, and, after the first interval of time has elapsed, adjust the pre-rotation vanes, the variable geometry diffuser, or both to a second position to block the backflow of the working fluid through the compressor.

    摘要: A hybrid cooling system for a hermetic motor includes an annular cavity in a motor housing that receives a vapor flow and an annulus in the motor housing that receives a liquid flow. The hybrid cooling system includes a sleeve disposed adjacent to the annular cavity and the annulus, where a radial opening is defined through the sleeve. The hybrid cooling system includes a stator at least partially surrounded by the sleeve, a gap defined between the stator and a rotor, and a vent slot of the stator configured to receive the vapor flow from the annular cavity through the radial opening of the sleeve and direct the vapor flow to the gap. The hybrid cooling system includes an exit path in the motor housing configured to direct an evaporated vapor flow, generated from the liquid flow contacting the stator, and the vapor flow out of the motor housing.

    摘要: A compressor for a heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) unit includes an impeller, a shaft configured to rotate the impeller, and a fastener. The impeller includes an opening and does not include keys, splines, pins, or any combination thereof. The fastener is coupled to an end of the shaft and extends through the opening of the impeller, and the fastener is configured to stretch in an axial direction relative to the shaft via a tensioner during assembly of the compressor.
