Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a two-stage compressor and a two-stage compression system in which refrigerant gas is compressed from a low pressure to a high pressure through two stages.
  • a differential pressure in each compressor can be made small. This allows leakage loss in each compressor to be made small and the compression efficiency to be enhanced.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses a two-stage compressor which includes two compressors provided in a single hermetic housing.
  • One of the two compressors is a rotary compressor on a low-stage-side and the other is a scroll compressor on a high-stage-side, and a refrigerant compressed to an intermediate pressure in the low-stage-side rotary compressor is discharged to the housing and the intermediate-pressure refrigerant is sucked into the high-stage-side scroll compressor, and thus the refrigerant is compressed through two stages.
  • Patent Literature 2 discloses a substantially similar two-stage compressor in which low-stage-side and high-stage-side compressors are both configured as a rotary compressor.
  • Patent Literature 3 discloses an example of a two-stage compression system, in which two independent compressors, i.e. low-stage-side compressor and high-pressure-stage-side compressor, are connected in series to perform two-stage compression.
  • the low-stage-side compressor of the two-stage compressor or the two-stage compression system serves to compress a low-pressure refrigerant to an intermediate pressure. Therefore, when the intermediate-pressure-housing type rotary compressor is adopted as the low-stage-side compressor, a back pressure applied to a back surface of the blade corresponds to the differential pressure between the low pressure inside the cylinder chamber and the intermediate pressure outside the cylinder chamber. It is thus conceivable that the aforementioned blade jumping has been caused by the fact that the back pressure applied to the back surface of the blade is lower compared to the single-stage rotary compressor where the differential pressure between the low pressure and the high pressure is applied as the back pressure.
  • the present invention is made in view of such circumstances, and the object is to provide a two-stage compressor and a two-stage compression system capable of, even when the intermediate-pressure-housing type rotary compressor is used as the low-stage-side compressor of the two-stage compressor or the two-stage compression system, enabling compressors to be operated efficiently at sufficiently wide range without blade jumping.

  • the low-stage-side compressor is a rotary compressor provided with a blade partitioning an inside of a cylinder chamber into a suction side and a compression side, and the blade reciprocates in response to rotation of a rotor and wherein the blade is formed of a material having a density of 3 g/cm 3 or less so as to reduce inertial force of the blade in consideration of a low back pressure acting on a back surface of the blade.
  • the low-stage-side compressor is the rotary compressor provided with the blade partitioning the inside of the cylinder chamber into the suction side and the compression side, the blade reciprocating in response to rotation of the rotor, the blade being formed of a material having a density of 3 g/cm 3 or less so as to reduce the blade's inertial force in in consideration of the lower back pressure acting on the back surface of the blade.
  • the blade is made of a material having a density of 3 g/cm 3 or less and lightweight enough to reduce the inertial force during reciprocating motion and suppress so-called blade jumping, despite the fact that the lower back pressure corresponding to the differential pressure between the intermediate pressure and the low pressure is applied to the back surface of the blade.
  • the two-stage compression system is a two-stage compression system comprising: a low-stage-side compressor having a compression system housed in a housing; and a high-stage-side compressor having a compression system housed in another housing and connected in series with the low-stage-side compressor, wherein a refrigerant gas is compressed to an intermediate-pressure in the low-stage-side compressor and it is discharged inside the housing, and then it is sucked into the high-stage-side compressor to be compressed to a high pressure
  • the low-stage-side compressor is an intermediate-pressure-housing type and also is a rotary compressor provided with a blade partitioning an inside of a cylinder chamber into a suction side and a compression side, and the blade reciprocates in response to rotation of a rotor, and wherein the blade is formed of a material having a density of 3 g/cm 3 or less so as to reduce inertial force of the blade in consideration of a low back pressure acting on a back surface of the
  • the intermediate-pressure-housing type low-stage-side compressor is the rotary compressor provided with the blade partitioning the inside of the cylinder chamber into the suction side and the compression side, the blade reciprocating in response to rotation of the rotor, the blade being formed of a material having a density of 3 g/cm 3 or less so as to reduce the blade's inertial force in response to the lower back pressure acting on the back surface of the blade.
  • the blade is made of a material having a density of 3 g/cm 3 or less and lightweight enough to reduce the inertial force during reciprocating motion and suppress so-called blade jumping, despite the fact that the lower back pressure corresponding to the differential pressure between the intermediate pressure and the low pressure is applied to the back surface of the blade.
  • the low-stage-side compressor is the rotary compressor and the high-stage-side compressor is a scroll compressor or a rotary compressor.
  • the low-stage-side compressor is the rotary compressor and the high-stage-side compressor is a scroll compressor or a rotary compressor. Therefore, by adopting a scroll compressor or a rotary compressor, which have conventionally been used in wide-ranging applications, as the high-stage-side compressor, and adopting the rotary compressor as described above provided with the blade made of a material having a density of 3 g/cm 3 or less as the low-stage-side compressor, it is possible to configure the two-stage compressor or the two-stage compression system in which leakage loss is made small in both the low-stage-side compressor and the high-stage-side compressor. Thus, the efficiency of the two-stage compressor or the two-stage compression system can be enhanced.

  • the refrigerant is the HFC refrigerant, the HFO refrigerant, the HC refrigerant, or the mixed refrigerant of these refrigerants. Therefore, by using the HFC refrigerant, the HFO refrigerant, the HC refrigerant, which are considered not to destroy the ozone layer, or the mixed refrigerant of these refrigerants, even when, in the two-stage compressor and the two-stage compression system where the differential pressure between the low pressure and the intermediate pressure is small, and even when the low-stage-side compressor of the intermediate-pressure-housing type two-stage compressor and the intermediate-pressure-housing type low-stage-side compressor of the two-stage compression system is each configured with a rotary compressor, it is possible to sufficiently reduce the blade's inertial force during reciprocating motion and suppress blade jumping.

  • the two-stage compression system is configured by the low-stage-side rotary compressor, which is the above-described rotary compressor 2 provided in an independent housing, and the high-stage-side scroll compressor, which is the above-described scroll compressor 3 provided in another independent housing, connected in series through a pipe.
  • the low-stage-side rotary compressor is an intermediate-pressure-housing type compressor in which a refrigerant compressed to an intermediate-pressure is discharged inside the housing, and the intermediate-pressure refrigerant gas discharged inside the intermediate-pressure housing is sucked through the pipe into the high-stage-side scroll compressor and compressed thus in two stages.
  • the present invention is not limited to the invention according to the above-described embodiments, and modifications can be made as necessary without departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • the low-stage-side compressor is the rotary compressor
  • the high-stage-side compressor is the scroll compressor.
  • the high-stage-side compressor does not necessarily have to be the scroll compressor, and other types of compressors, including a rotary compressor, may be employed.
  • the blade of the high-stage-side rotary compressor in which the housing has a high-pressure structure, does not necessarily have to be configured as described above to suppress blade jumping.
