Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multi-stage capacity-controlled scroll compressor which enables partial load operation in lower capacity regions.
  • Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 which is a sectional view taken along the line X - X of Fig. 8 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication HEI 9-170573).
  • This scroll compressor is an asymmetrical spiral-type scroll compressor in which a scrolling end of a first scroll 1 is ⁇ (rad) longer in involute angle than a scrolling end of a second scroll 2.
  • a first fluid working chamber A defined by an inner surface of the first scroll 1 and an outer surface of the second scroll 2 and a second fluid working chamber B defined by an outer surface of the first scroll 1 and an inner surface of the second scroll 2 are alternately opened and closed to a single low-pressure port 3.
  • a common bypass hole 4 common to the first fluid working chamber A and the second fluid working chamber B is provided at a point j which is a point about one-scroll inwardly unwound from an outermost side contact point E of the second scroll 2 with the first scroll 1.
  • a valve hole 5 communicating with the common bypass hole 4 is formed in the first scroll 1, and a bypass passage 6 communicating with the low-pressure port 3 is formed in a side portion of the valve hole 5.
  • a stepped cylindrical bypass valve 7 for opening and closing the common bypass hole 4 is internally fitted so as to be slidable.
  • a coil spring 8 is engaged with the stepped portion of the bypass valve 7, and an upper portion of the bypass valve 7 is closed by a lid member 9 and thereby partitioned from a discharge dome 10 to define an operating-pressure chamber 11.
  • an operating-pressure line 15 communicated selectively with a low-pressure line 13 or a high-pressure line 14 by a solenoid valve 12 is connected to the operating-pressure chamber 11 via a joint tube 16.
  • Reference numeral 17 denotes a capillary tube for preventing shortcircuit between the high-pressure line 14 and the low-pressure line 13
  • numeral 18 denotes a casing
  • numeral 19 denotes a high-pressure port.
  • the common bypass hole 4 is formed at the point j, which is a point about one-round inwardly unwound from the outermost side contact point E of the second scroll 2 with the first scroll 1. Therefore, when high-pressure gas is supplied to the operating-pressure chamber 11 of the bypass valve 7 by closing the solenoid valve 12 and then the bypass valve 7 is closed, discharge capacity becomes the full capacity (100%). On the other hand, when low-pressure gas is supplied to the operating-pressure chamber 11 of the bypass valve 7 by opening the solenoid valve 12 and then the bypass valve 7 is opened, the discharge capacity becomes about 60% of the full capacity because the position of the common bypass hole 4 serves as a compression start point. In this way, the discharge capacity of the scroll compressor is switched between 100% and 60%.
  • the above multi-stage capacity-controlled scroll compressor of the prior art has the following problems. First, because its volume ratio Vr considerably lowers during a 50% or lower partial load operation, there is a problem that the operational range is limited.
  • increasing the intrinsic volume ratio Vr causes the critical partial load ratio to lower so that a 50% or lower partial load operation is enabled, but the efficiency at the full load would be lowered in that case, conversely, so that increasing the intrinsic volume ratio Vr could not be adopted.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a multi-stage capacity-controlled scroll compressor which is capable of changing 50% or lower partial load operation in multiple stages and which is low in price and high in reliability.
  • a multi-stage capacity-controlled scroll compressor comprising:
  • the second opening/closing means opens and closes the second bypass passage, by which the load of the compressor can be switched between 100% and a first specified %.
  • the first opening/closing means opens and closes the first bypass passage, by which the discharge capacity of the compressor can be switched between 100% and a second specified %. Accordingly, in combinations of the opening and closing operations of the first opening/closing means and the opening and closing operations of the second opening/closing means, effective load of the compressor can be changed over in four stages. In this case, the discharge capacity of the compressor can be changed over only to the second specified % by the first opening/closing means.
  • the volume ratio for the compressor and the second specified % are so set that the volume ratio at which the discharge capacity of the compressor becomes the second specified % becomes 1 or more, then the volume ratio can be maintained 1 or more even when the effective load of the compressor becomes a minimum, so that high-reliability multi-stage load control can be achieved.
  • a first scroll and a second scroll of which the compression chamber is formed show asymmetrical spiral shapes, respectively, that a spiral end of one scroll is 180 degree longer in involute angle than a spiral end of the other scroll.
  • the first fluid working chamber defined by the inner surface of the first scroll and the outer surface of the second scroll and the second fluid working chamber defined by the outer surface of the first scroll and the inner surface of the second scroll are formed alternately at positions on the same first bypass passage. Accordingly, the high-pressure gas in the fluid working chambers is returned from the only one first bypass passage to the suction port.
  • the second bypass passage is provided outside a body of the compressor.
  • the second bypass passage and the second opening/closing means do not need to be formed within the compressor body, and may be formed between discharge line and suction line. Accordingly, the multi-stage capacity-controlled scroll compressor is produced with low price.
  • the second bypass passage and the second opening/closing means are provided each in a plural number.
  • the second bypass passage and the second opening/closing means are provided in pluralities. Accordingly, in combinations of the opening and closing operations of the second opening/closing means and the opening and closing operations of the first opening/closing means, 8 or more stages of multi-stage load control is achieved.
  • the second opening/closing means for opening and closing the second bypass passage is a motor-operated valve which is controllable to any arbitrary degree of openness.
  • the second opening/closing means operates on a differential pressure between a pilot pressure and a pressure on the suction side or a pressure on the discharge side.
  • control system for the second opening/closing means can be implemented with simplicity, so that the multi-stage capacity-controlled scroll compressor is produced with low price.
  • the multi-stage capacity-controlled scroll compressor further comprises a liquid injection tube for cooling a low-pressure chamber communicating with the suction port.
  • the low-pressure chamber and the driving motor are cooled by cooling liquid injected from the liquid injection tube.
  • temperature increase of the low-pressure chamber due to the return of the high-pressure gas in the compression chamber to the suction port is prevented, making it possible to lower the temperature of the discharged gas and the motor.
  • the first opening/closing means and the second opening/closing means operate on a pilot pressure
  • a pilot port of the first opening/closing means and a pilot port of the second opening/closing means are connected to their corresponding pilot lines, respectively, via one joint fitting provided at an upper center of the compressor body.
  • the joint fitting that connects the pilot ports of the first and second opening/closing means and their respective pilot lines to each other need to be provided only one in number at an upper center of the compressor, so that the port and line connection can be taken out from one place, the casing top center. Therefore, as compared with the case where the port and line connection is taken out from two decentered places of the casing top, in which case elliptical welding with the operating tube needs to be provided at two places, the welding work between the casing top and the operating tube can be achieved with simplicity, so that the man-hours for assembly is reduced, thus allowing a further cost reduction.
  • a multi-stage capacity-controlled scroll compressor comprises:
  • a twin multi-stage capacity-controlled scroll compressor is made up of a multi-stage capacity-controlled scroll compressor and a standard scroll compressor. Accordingly, in a combination of switching to two load states of unload and full load with the standard scroll compressor and n-stage load switching with the multi-stage capacity-controlled scroll compressor, load can be changed over in 2 ⁇ n stages. Thus, load control can be achieved in even further multiple stages.
  • the first opening/closing means operates on a pilot pressure
  • a pilot port of the first opening/closing means and joint fittings for connecting a pilot line to the pilot port are connected to each other by screws.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial sectional view of a multi-stage capacity-controlled scroll compressor of a first embodiment.

  • an upper portion of the cylinder 42 is partitioned from the discharge dome 30 to define an operating-pressure chamber 46.
  • an operating-pressure line 48 which is communicated selectively with the low-pressure line 33 or the high-pressure line 34 by a second solenoid valve 47 is connected to the operating-pressure chamber 46 via a joint tube 49.
  • the solenoid valve 32 is referred to as a first solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve 47 is referred to as a second solenoid valve.
  • reference numeral 50 denotes a capillary tube for preventing shortcircuit between the high-pressure line 34 and the low-pressure line 33.
  • a stepped portion which is made smaller in diameter on its low-pressure side, is formed in the outer circumferential surface of the valve body 43, and a spring 44 is fitted to this smaller-diameter portion.
  • a through hole 51 which radially communicates inside and outside of the cylinder 42 with each other.
  • the larger-diameter portion of the valve body 43 closes the through hole 51 so that the load of the compressor is set to 100% (hereinafter, the load set in this way will be referred to as set load).
  • the through hole 51 of the valve body 43 is opened so that the set load of the compressor becomes 50%. That is, in this embodiment, the second bypass passage is implemented by the through hole 45, while the second opening/closing means is implemented by the second bypass valve 40.
  • the multi-stage capacity-controlled scroll compressor having the above constitution is enabled to perform multi-stage load control, as shown below, by controlling the first bypass valve 27 and the second bypass valve 40.
  • closing the second solenoid valve 47 causes the second bypass valve 40 to be closed, so that the set load of the compressor becomes 100%.
  • the first bypass valve 27 that communicates with the low-pressure port 23 to yield a discharge capacity of 60% is provided at the point J (see Fig. 9) which is about one-round inwardly unwound from the outermost side contact point E of the second scroll 22 with the first scroll 21.
  • the second bypass valve 40 that makes the suction side and the discharge side selectively communicated with each other to yield a 50% set load of the compressor is provided outside the scroll of the first scroll 21.
  • the first bypass valve 27 and the second bypass valve 40 are opened and closed depending on a differential pressure between the pressure of the low-pressure line 33 or the high-pressure line 34 and the pressure on the suction side. Therefore, closing both the second bypass valve 40 and the first bypass valve 27 allows the effective load of the compressor to be 100%. Also, closing the second bypass valve 40 and concurrently opening the first bypass valve 27 allows the effective load of the compressor to be 60%.

  • the above embodiments have been described, taking as an example a so-called asymmetrical spiral-type scroll compressor in which, as shown in Fig. 9, the spiral end of the first scroll 21, 61, 81, 101 is ⁇ (rad) longer in involute angle than the spiral end of the second scroll 22, 62, 82, 102, and in which the outermost side contact point E of the second scroll 22, 62, 82, 102 with the first scroll 21, 61, 81, 101 is the aforementioned spiral end.
  • the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to so-called symmetrical spiral-type scroll compressors in which spiral ends of a symmetrical pair of scrolls are shifted from each other by ⁇ (rad) in involute angle.
  • the first fluid working chamber A defined by the inner surface of the first scroll and the outer surface of the second scroll, and the second fluid working chamber B defined by the outer surface of the first scroll and the inner surface of the second scroll are not formed at the same position but formed so as to be opposed to each other, in which case therefore the first bypass valve for changing the discharge capacity of the compressor needs to be provided two in number, one for the first fluid working chamber A and the other for the second fluid working chamber B, at positions opposed to each other.
