  • FIG. 1 further shows a tube bundle 144 of the heat absorption heat exchanger (e.g., carrying water, brine, or other heat transfer fluid to be chilled).
  • An exemplary compressor ( FIG. 2 ) is a centrifugal compressor having a housing assembly (housing) 150 .
  • the housing assembly contains an electric motor 152 and an impeller 144 drivable by the electric motor in the first mode to draw fluid (refrigerant) in through the suction port 24 , compress the fluid, and discharge the fluid from the discharge port.
  • the exemplary impeller is driven indirectly by the motor via a transmission 156 .
  • the housing defines a motor compartment 160 containing a stator 162 of the motor within the compartment.
  • a rotor 164 of the motor is partially within the stator and is mounted for rotation about a rotor axis 500 .
  • the exemplary mounting is via one or more bearing systems 166 , mounting a shaft 170 of the rotor to the housing assembly.
  • the exemplary impeller 154 is mounted to its own shaft 172 to rotate about an axis 502 .
  • An exemplary bearing system 174 mounts an intermediate portion of the shaft 172 to an intermediate wall 178 of the housing assembly.
  • FIG. 2 further shows the compressor inlet 24 and outlet 26 .
  • the inlet 24 is at the upstream end of a suction housing member 200 of the housing assembly.
  • the suction housing member carries a circumferential array of inlet guide vanes 202 which may be articulated (e.g., rotated about respective axes via an actuator not shown) to control the inlet (suction) flow.
  • the flowpath extends downstream to the upstream end or tip 204 of the impeller 154 .
  • the impeller has a generally downstream outwardly flaring body 206 bearing blades 208 .
  • the blade tips fall along a shroud 210 of the housing assembly extending downstream from the suction housing 200 .
  • the impeller and shroud thus define a generally axial inlet 212 and a radial outlet 214 .
  • the outlet 214 of the impeller is surrounded by a diffuser 220 .
  • the diffuser has a circumferential array of passageways 222 extending from inlets 224 to outlets 226 .
  • Each passageway is a partial tangential orientation and has a cross-sectional area increasing from upstream/inboard to downstream/outboard.
  • the outlets are along a discharge plenum 228 .
  • FIG. 3 further shows the economizer port 58 .
  • the exemplary port 58 is along a suction housing chamber 230 radially outboard of an upstream portion of the shroud.
  • the economizer flowpath thus passes through a conduit (e.g., tube) 231 within this chamber and through a port 232 in the diffuser.
  • the economizer flowpath then passes through one or more bores 236 to intersect with the diffuser passageways 222 .
  • An exemplary intersection is just downstream of the inlets 224 .
  • FIG. 4 further shows the intersection 240 of the bores 236 and the passageways.
  • ports and/or conduits e.g., a circumferential array fed by branches of the conduit 231 ) sufficient to provide a desired flow rate and distribution.
  • a sufficient number of bores 236 of sufficient diameter may be provided to accommodate a target range of economizer flow. This may involve bores 236 intersecting anywhere between one and all of the diffuser passageways.
  • the port 58 , chamber conduit 231 , and bores 236 thus define the one or more passages positioned to draw the economizer flow from the economizer port and deliver the economizer flow downstream of the impeller inlet but upstream of the diffuser passage outlets.
  • the economizer flow is delivered downstream of the impeller outlets, more particularly, at or slightly downstream of the diffuser passageway inlets.
  • FIG. 5 shows an alternate compressor 260 wherein, rather than penetrating the diffuser, the economizer flowpath extends to a gap 262 between the diffuser and the impeller.
  • the flowpath may further pass through a gap 264 between the impeller shroud and the diffuser.
  • the exemplary economizer flowpath passes through a mounting flange 266 of the shroud extending radially outward and mating with the diffuser.
  • the exemplary economizer flowpath is defined by one or more conduits 268 or branches thereof extending from the economizer port 58 to one or more associated apertures 270 in the flange.
  • the economizer flowpath and main/primary flowpath may thus merge at the intersection/gap 262 .
  • FIG. 6 shows an alternate compressor 300 having a variable diffuser 302 .
  • the diffuser 302 comprises a fixed outer member (outer diffuser ring) 304 and a movable inner member (inner diffuser ring) 306 (e.g., rotatable about the axis 502 ).
  • the inner diffuser ring may be rotated relative to the outer diffuser ring so as to bring inboard/upstream portions 308 ( FIG. 7 ) of the passageways (in the inner diffuser ring) into and out of registration with outboard/downstream portions 310 (in the outer diffuser ring) to effectively throttle and unthrottle the passageways.
  • the exemplary economizer passage and flowpath pass from the economizer port 58 through a conduit 320 (the conduit 320 passing through the suction housing chamber 230 ).
  • a downstream end of the conduit 320 is mounted in a bore 321 in an outboard flange 322 of the shroud.
  • the economizer flowpath passes into a shroud chamber 330 along an outboard surface of a downstream portion of the shroud and inboard of an inner/ID surface of the inner diffuser ring.
  • FIG. 8 is a pressure-enthalpy diagram for the system of FIG. 1 .
  • the exact location of the intersection of the economizer flowpath and the main flowpath may be chosen based upon anticipated system conditions. As noted above, a convenient location is exactly between the impeller outlet and diffuser inlet. However, locations more downstream within the diffuser are possible (e.g., between 0% and 70% of a length from the diffuser inlet to the diffuser outlet, more narrowly, 0-50% or 10-50%).
  • FIG. 9 shows a compressor 400 having a vaneless diffuser 402 having an annular passageway 403 .
  • the passageway 403 has an inboard inlet 404 and an outboard outlet 406 to a discharge plenum 408 .
  • the economizer conduit has an outlet 410 of the economizer conduit 412 along the diffuser intermediate the inlet 404 and outlet 406 (but, in the exemplary embodiment, much closer to the inlet 404 ).
