Abstract:
A volume ratio control system for a compressor includes a chamber formed within a housing of the compressor, a piston disposed within the chamber, where the piston is configured to separate the chamber into at least a first portion fluidly coupled to a low pressure side of the compressor and a second portion fluidly coupled to a high pressure side of the compressor, and a biasing device disposed within the chamber, where the biasing device is configured to adjust a position of the piston in response to a pressure differential between the low pressure side of the compressor and the high pressure side of the compressor falling below a threshold value.
Abstract:
A screw compressor slide valve with gas pulsation attenuation function includes valve walls and internal through holes. A screw compressor includes the screw compressor slide valve. A part of exhausted gas of the screw compressor is directly discharged from an exhaust port to an exhaust chamber to form a main exhaust flow channel; another part of the exhausted gas is discharged from the exhaust port into the exhaust chamber after being delayed by the internal through holes, which forms a branched exhaust flow channel. Since the branched exhaust flow channel is longer than the main exhaust flow channel, when the gas pulsation in the branched exhaust flow channel lags behind that in the main exhaust flow channel by 180-degree in phase, two gas pulsations in the two flow channels are offset due to opposite gas pulsation phases, which attenuates the gas pulsation, thereby suppressing induced vibration and noise.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are used to control operation of a rotary compressor of a refrigeration system to improve efficiency by varying the volume ratio and the speed of the compressor in response to current operating and load conditions. The volume of the axial and/or radial discharge ports of the compressor can be varied to provide a volume ratio corresponding to operating conditions. In addition, permanent magnet motors and/or control of rotor tip speed can be employed for further efficiency gains.

Abstract:
A screw compressor includes a screw rotor, a gate rotor, a drive mechanism to rotate the screw rotor, a cylinder, a discharge port and an adjustment mechanism. The screw rotor has an outer periphery with a helical groove engaged with radially arranged gates of the gate rotor. First and second axial ends of the screw rotor form suction and discharge sides, respectively. The cylinder accommodates the screw rotor to define a compression chamber in the helical groove. Fluid in the compression chamber flows through the discharge port toward the discharge side of the screw rotor. The adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust a compression ratio of the compression chamber within a predetermined range. The adjustment mechanism adjusts the compression ratio to a minimum compression ratio immediately before or when operation of the adjustment mechanism is stopped.

A compressor including a compression mechanism configured and positioned to receive vapor from an intake passage and provide compressed vapor to a discharge passage. An opening is positioned in the compression mechanism in fluid communication with the discharge passage. A valve has an aperture formed therein, the aperture configured and positioned in fluid communication with a passageway to provide a path for a pressurized vapor flow to a first chamber and a first piston without mixing with vapor in the discharge passage. A second chamber is in fluid communication with a second piston and the discharge passage, the first piston and the second piston of the valve configured to move together. First piston and second piston movement are controllable in response to predetermined conditions to maintain the magnitude of pressure of the compression mechanism immediately upstream of the opening at substantially the same pressure magnitude at the discharge passage.

A compressor includes a casing, a screw rotor, a slide member with at least one economizer port, and a control unit controlling a position of the slide member along the axis of the screw rotor to position the at least one economizer port based on the rotating speed of the screw rotor to advance the timing of opening of the at least one economizer port. The controller controls the position of the slide member along the axis such that the slide member moves upstream toward a suction side of the compressor when the rotating speed of the screw rotor increases, and downstream toward a discharge side of the compressor when the rotating speed of the screw rotor decreases. A refrigerating apparatus includes the compressor, a condenser, a heat exchanger, an expansion unit, and an evaporator, sequentially connected, and has an economizer line.

Abstract:
A screw compressor includes a casing, a screw, an air entry, an air outlet, a slide valve with a flexible volume ratio, and first and second air cylinders. The slide valve is disposed between the first and second air cylinders and includes a slide valve main body. Two ends of the slide valve seal the first and second air cylinders. The first air cylinder is connected to the air outlet of the compressor through a first connection pipe, and the second air cylinder is connected to a last closed spiral flute through a second connection pipe. The slide valve searches for balance under the driving of pressures in the first and second air cylinders. The screw compressor having a slide valve with a flexible volume ratio can enable the volume ratio of the compressor to be automatically adjusted to an optimal state.
