  • the ratio Aac/Acy is simply set to 4 or less, the inner diameter of the accumulator 2 decreases, and hence there is a concern that the gas/liquid separation function may be degraded. For this reason, as a result of various experiments, when the ratio Vac/Vcy between the liquid retaining capacity Vac from the lower surface of the container 61 to the upper end of the suction pipe 13 of the accumulator 2 and the total displacement volume Vcy of the rotary compression mechanism section 11 (the sum of the displacement volumes of the first and second cylinders 21 and 22 ) is set to 20 or more, a sufficient liquid retaining capacity may be ensured, and the liquid back may be prevented.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the relation between the ratio As/Acy between the total inner diameter cross-sectional area As of extension portions inside the accumulator of the suction pipes 13 and 13 (the sum of the inner diameter cross-sectional areas of two suction pipes) and the inner diameter cross-sectional area Acy (mm 2 ) of each of the first and second cylinder chambers 21 a and 22 a (the inner diameter cross-sectional area of one cylinder chamber) and the ratio Ws/Wth between the suction loss Ws of extension portions inside the accumulator of the suction pipes 13 and 13 and the theoretical work Wth of the compressor. That is, in FIG. 3 , the horizontal axis indicates the ratio As/Acy, and the vertical axis indicates the ratio Ws/Wth.
  • the ratio Ws/Wth increases as the ratio As/Acy decreases and the ratio Ws/Wth, that is, the ratio of the suction loss with respect to the theoretical work abruptly increases particularly when the ratio As/Acy becomes smaller than 0.12.
  • the suction loss Ws of the suction pipes 13 and 13 inside the accumulator 2 with respect to the theoretical work Wth of the compressor may be set to substantially 2% or less as illustrated in FIG. 3 .
  • the theoretical work Wth of the compressor indicates the theoretical work which is derived by the design calculation of the sealed compressor 1 .
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the measurement characteristics of four types of sealed compressors by preparing the sealed compressor in which the heights of the first cylinder 21 and the second cylinder 22 are respectively set to 18 mm using the configuration of two cylinders of the first cylinder 21 and the second cylinder 22 of the embodiment, the sealed compressor in which the heights of the first cylinder 21 and the second cylinder 22 are respectively set to 22 mm using the above-described configuration, the single cylinder type sealed compressor with one cylinder in which the height of the cylinder is set to 20 mm, and the single cylinder type sealed compressor in which the height of the cylinder is set to 25 mm.
  • the characteristics of four types of the sealed compressors substantially overlap one another along the same curve.
  • the inner diameters of the respective cylinder chambers are set to 43 mm and the characteristics are measured by adjusting the operation rotation speed so that the cooling ability becomes 15 kw using the refrigerant of R410A.
  • the suction loss ratio Ws/Wth (%) may be reduced regardless of the number of the cylinders or the volume thereof, and an abrupt increase in the suction loss may be prevented.
  • FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a relation between the area ratio As/Acy of the total inner diameter cross-sectional area As of the extension portion inside the accumulator of the suction pipe of the sealed compressor 1 and the inner diameter cross-sectional area Acy of one cylinder chamber and the in-pipe flow velocity Vs(m/s) of the extension portion inside the accumulator of the suction pipe, where the horizontal axis indicates the area ratio As/Acy and the vertical axis indicates the in-pipe flow velocity Vs(m/s).
  • the suction pipe 13 inside the accumulator 2 is provided with the oil return hole 13 a that returns the lubricating oil accumulated in the accumulator 2 , and the lubricating oil is returned from the oil return hole 13 a to the first cylinder chamber 21 a and the second cylinder chamber 22 a.
  • the in-pipe flow velocity Vs decreases, there is a concern that the oil may not be sufficiently returned from the oil return hole 13 a.
  • the in-pipe flow velocity Vs may be maintained at 1 (m/s) or more, and the oil may be reliably returned by the oil return hole 13 a.
  • FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a relation between the area ratio As/Acy and the ratio Ws/Wth of the suction loss Ws and the theoretical work Wth of the compressor in the sealed compressor 1 at the rated rotation speed (60 rps) and the high rotation speed (125 rps).
  • the suction loss ratio Ws/Wth (%) may be reduced at not only the rated rotation speed (60 rps) but also the high rotation speed (125 rps), and an increase in the suction loss may be prevented.
  • the ratio L/Dcy of the axial distance L (mm) between the upper surface of the first cylinder 21 and the lower surface of the second cylinder 22 and the inner diameter ⁇ Dcy (mm) of each of the first and second cylinders 21 and 22 (the inner diameter of one cylinder chamber) is set to be smaller than 0.9, the heights (thicknesses) of the first and second cylinders 21 and 22 decrease, and the suction ports connecting the suction pipes 13 and 13 also decrease in size, so that the suction loss increases. Meanwhile, when the ratio L/Dcy becomes larger than 1.1, the distance between the bearings increases, and the rotary shaft is bent by the compression load, so that the performance is degraded.
  • the distance Lp between the axial centers of the suction pipes 13 and 13 may be increased. That is, when the suction pipes 13 and 13 are connected to the sealed container 10 , the member connecting the suction pipes 13 and 13 is connected to the sealed container 10 by welding. For this reason, when the distance Lp between the axial centers of the suction pipes 13 and 13 is set to a large value as possible, degradation in strength caused by welding may be prevented.
  • the air conditioner 100 that uses the sealed compressor 1 of the embodiment since the above-described configuration is employed, even when the sealed compressor 1 is operated in a high-speed rotation state, an abrupt increase in the suction loss may be prevented, and degradation in suction loss may be reduced. Further, according to the air conditioner 100 that uses the sealed compressor 1 , the oil is reliably returned, and hence the reliability may be improved.
  • the invention is not limited to the refrigeration cycle device 100 that uses the sealed compressor 1 of the embodiment.
  • the sealed compressor 1 of the above-described embodiment a configuration has been described in which two cylinders, that is, the first cylinder 21 and the second cylinder 22 are used as the cylinders, but the invention is not limited thereto.
  • the number of cylinders may be one or three or more.
  • the suction loss may be reduced and the in-pipe flow velocity Vs of the suction pipe 13 for returning the oil may be obtained as in the sealed compressor 1 of the embodiment using two cylinders. Further, the same effect may be obtained even in three cylinders.
  • the refrigeration cycle device 100 has been described as the air conditioner 100 with a configuration having the four-way valve 101 , but the invention is not limited thereto.
  • the refrigeration cycle device 100 may also be a refrigeration cycle device that performs only a heating operation or a cooling operation without the four-way valve 101 or a refrigeration cycle device other than the air conditioner.
  • the sealed compressor 1 has been described using a configuration in which the roller 24 and the blade are separately provided, but the invention is not limited thereto.
  • the same effect may be obtained.
