  • the retainer ring 570 is used to hold the pump cover 550 within the lower bearing assembly 510 (more precisely within the case 515 of the lower bearing assembly 510), as shown in Figure 6 .
  • the debris filter 590 arranged around an outer circumference of the oil pump prevents debris or the like from getting into the oil pump 500.
  • the pressure equilibrium tube 520 may function to ensure that the pressure in the oil intake chamber 5305 is the same as the gas pressure above the level of oil 1808 in the oil sump 180.
  • the pressure equilibrium tube 520 may also assist in removing the excessive refrigerant gas which gets inside the oil pump.
  • the diameter of the impeller 535 is slightly smaller than that of the crankshaft 120.
  • the diameter of the impeller 535 may be larger than or equal to that of the crankshaft 120 such that the oil droplets can pick up sufficient energy (speed and pressure) to move to the top of the crankshaft 120 even when the rotational speed of the crankshaft 120 is relatively low.
  • the oil intake chamber 5305 (position2) will be full of gas and the pressure therein will be equal to the gas pressure above the level of oil 1808 in the oil sump 180 (i.e., at position 8 shown in Figure 7 ).
  • the pressure equilibrium tube 520 ensures that the gas pressure above the oil sump 180 will not influence the flow velocity of the oil in the oil inlet 507.
  • the oil in the oil sump 180 continually flows into the oil intake chamber 5305 (i.e., from position 1 to position 2).
  • the flow velocity is dependent on the height difference H between the level of oil 1808 and the oil inlet 507 (here, the effect of oil viscosity is neglected). Normally, the height difference H just varies within a narrow range. In other words, when the compressor runs steadily, the height difference H is basically constant, and thus the flow velocity may be regarded as constant.
  • the precondition for delivering at the same oil flow rate at different rotation speeds of the crankshaft 120 is to make the diameter of the impeller 535 large enough so as to ensure that the oil pump 500 can pump sufficient oil to the top of the crankshaft 120 at low speed.
  • the oil flow rate can, therefore, be determined by selecting a size of the oil inlet 507 to just meet the lubrication requirement at different rotational speeds of the crankshaft 120.
  • the size of the oil inlet 507 and diameter of the impeller 535 can be selected such that when the crankshaft 120 is rotating at a relatively low speed, the oil pump 500 is just able to pump the oil to the top of the oil supply passage 127 of the crankshaft 120.
  • the oil pump 500 cannot pump more oil than at low speed since no more oil is able to flow through the oil inlet 507 and into the oil intake chamber 5305 than when the crankshaft 120 is rotating at a lower speed.
  • the rotational speed of the crankshaft 120 may have little or no influence on the oil flow rate through the oil supply passage 127.
  • experimental data obtained during operation of the oil pump 500 shows the relationship between the oil flow rate of the oil pump 500 and the rotational speed of the crankshaft 120.
  • the particular oil pump that was the subject of the experimental data of Figure 8 has an impeller having a diameter of about forty millimeters, an oil outlet having a diameter of about seven millimeters, the height difference H is about forty millimeters, and the oil type selected is 46BWMO.

  • a static passage 5506' is formed between the second and third inner circumference regions 5104', 5106' and an outer circumference surface of the middle section 533' of the impeller assembly 530'.
  • an oil outlet 509' is formed at both sides of the central passage 5306' so as to penetrate through the upper section 531' of the impeller assembly 530'.
  • the oil inlet 507', the oil intake chamber 5305', the guiding channel 5356', the oil discharging chamber 5308', the static passage 5506' and the oil outlet 509' are sequentially connected so as to form an oil flow path of the oil pump 500', as shown by a solid arrow in Figure 9 .
  • the oil outlet 509' of the oil pump 500' is, at the lower end part 126' of the crankshaft 120', in fluid communication with the oil supply passage 127' for supplying the oil to an upper end part of the crankshaft 120'.
  • the oil intake chamber 5305' may contain a quantity of gas and the pressure therein may be equal to the gas pressure above the level of oil in the oil sump due to the pressure equilibrium tube 520'.
  • the pressure equilibrium tube 520' ensures that the gas pressure above the oil sump will not influence the flow velocity of the oil in the oil inlet 507'.
  • the oil in the oil sump continually flows into the oil intake chamber 5305'.
  • the flow velocity is dependent on the height difference between the level of oil and the oil inlet 507' (here, the effect of oil viscosity is neglected). Normally, the height difference just varies within a narrow range. In other words, when the compressor runs steadily, the height difference is basically constant, and thus the flow velocity may be regarded as constant.
  • the oil pump 500' is able to provide a substantially constant oil flow rate through the oil supply passage 127' at a variety of rotational speeds of the crankshaft 120'.
  • the central passage 5306' and the venting hole 508' may not be provided, and instead, one end of the pressure equilibrium tube may enter the oil intake chamber 5305' via the oil inlet 507' and the other end of the pressure equilibrium tube may extend above the level of oil in the oil sump.
