FIG. 1 is a side elevation in cross-section of a refrigeration compressor including a linear compressor suspended in a housing. -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional side elevation of the relevant portion of the housing illustrating the connection of flexible discharge conduit at the outlet according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is a cross section taken on line A-A inFIG. 2 . - Referring to
FIG. 1 the compressor for a vapour compression refrigeration system includes a linear compressor 1 supported inside ahousing 2. Typically thehousing 2 is hermetically sealed and includes a gases inlet port 3 and a compressedgases outlet port 4. Uncompressed gases flow within the interior of the housing, surrounding the compressor 1. These uncompressed gases are drawn into the compressor during intake stroke, compressed between thepiston crown 14 andoutlet valve plate 5 on the compression stroke and expelled throughdischarge valve 6 into a compressedgases manifold 7. Compressed gases exit themanifold 7 to theoutlet port 4 in the shell through aflexible tube 8. To reduce the stiffness effect ofdischarge tube 8 the tube is preferably arranged as a loop or spiral transverse to the reciprocating axis of the compressor. - The intake to the compression space may be through the piston (with an aperture and valve in the crown) or through the head, divided to include suction and discharge manifolds and valves.
- The illustrated linear compressor 1 has, broadly speaking, a cylinder part and a piston part connected by a main spring. The cylinder part includes
cylinder chassis 10,cylinder head 11,valve plate 5 and acylinder liner 12. The cylinder part also includesstator parts 15 for a linear electric motor. Anend portion 18 of the cylinder part, distal from thehead 11, mounts the main spring relative to the cylinder part. In the illustrated embodiment the main spring is formed as a combination ofcoil spring 19 andflat spring 20. - The piston part includes a
hollow piston 22 withsidewall 24 andcrown 14. Arod 26 connects between thecrown 14 and a supportingbody 30 forlinear motor armature 17. The rod has aflexible portion 28 in approximately the centre of thehollow piston 22. Thelinear motor armature 17 comprises a body of permanent magnet material (such as ferrite or neodymium) magnetised to provide one or more poles directed transverse to the axis of reciprocation of the piston within the cylinder liner. Anend portion 32 ofarmature support 30 which is distal from thepiston 22 is connected with themain spring - The linear compressor 1 is mounted within the
shell 2 on a plurality of suspension springs to isolate it from the shell. In use the large outer body of the linear compressor, the cylinder part, will oscillate along the axis of reciprocation of the piston part within the cylinder part. In the preferred compressor the piston part is purposely kept very light compared to the cylinder part so that the oscillation of the cylinder part is small compared with the relative reciprocation between the piston part and cylinder part. In the illustrated form the linear compressor is mounted on a set of foursuspension springs 31 generally positioned around the periphery. Alternate suspension spring arrangements are illustrated in PCT/NZ2004/000108. The ends of each suspension spring fit over elastomeric snubbers connected with the linear compressor 1 at one end of each spring and connected with thecompressor shell 2 at the other end of each spring. - This briefly describes a linear compressor of a type for which the improved discharge conduit connection of the present invention is useful. However it will be appreciated that the usefulness of the present invention is not restricted to linear compressors of the type and configuration illustrated. The improvement is generally applicable.
- Illustrated in
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional side elevation of a portion of thehousing 2. This portion includes anoutlet 60 through which the compressed gases exit the refrigeration compressor. An outlet is located outside the compressor housing for connection to refrigeration conduit typically leading to a condenser. Theoutlet 60 is connected to the compressor assembly via aflexible discharge tube 61 through which compressed gases may flow. - The
discharge tube 61 connects to the discharge of the compressor inside the housing and extends through the wall of the housing to discharge compressed gases to theoutlet tube 62 at a location outside the housing. The discharge tube is made from a material that has lower heat conductivity than the housing material. For example the tubing may be a polymer/plastic, for example PTFE, while the housing may be pressed steel. This combination of insulative material and extending through the housing is advantageous as the discharge tube insulates the housing from being unnecessarily heated by the flow of hot gases produced by the compressor. - The portion of the
discharge tube 61 extending through the wall of thehousing 2 is preferably enclosed in theoutlet tube 62. The outlet tube is preferably a type of metal tubing such as the copper tubing commonly found in refrigeration systems. The inner diameter of the outlet tube is comparable to the outside diameter of the discharge tube. A seal is formed between the overlapping section of the outlet tube and discharge tube by crimping or swaging of the outlet tube for example atpoint 63 outside the housing. The inside surface of the outlet tube deforms against the outside surface of the discharge tube, engaging the sections. The discharge tube extends through the housing, therefore the crimp or swage may occur outside the compressor housing allowing the appropriate tooling to easily access the necessary area and allowing the seal to be made after the compressor is fitted into the housing. - A suitable sealant may also be included between the exterior of the discharge tube and the interior of the outlet tube.
- The
outlet tube 62 may also extend inside the compressor housing. The leadingedge 64 of the outlet tube within the housing is preferably flared to allow the discharge conduit to easily be inserted inside the second hollow body when assembling the compressor into the housing. Theflare 64 also reduces fretting or wear of thedischarge tube 61 at the entrance of the outlet tube. - The outside surface of the
outlet tube 62 is welded or brazed into anaperture 65 of thecompressor housing 2 before assembly. The discharge tube may be connected to the compressor, then the compressor introduced to the housing, and the discharge tube inserted through the outlet tube and secured by swaging the outside housing. - To stop the enclosed section of the discharge tube rotating relative to the outlet tube which may eventually cause undue wear, the outlet tube may be crimped inside the housing. The crimp forces a
noncircular profile 70 into the sides of the tubes that locks their rotational position.FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the crimped tubes. This crimp need not be sufficiently accurate to produce a seal if the swage outside the housing is also made. - As well as promoting a seal against the outside of the discharge tube the crimps or swages also mechanically secures the discharge tube inside the outlet tube, against a tendency to blow out under pressure.
- The above embodiment provides a refrigeration compressor comprising a housing having a suction gases inlet and a compressed gases outlet, a linear compressor supported for operation within the housing, and a compressed gases discharge conduit extending from the linear compressor to the housing to connect with the outlet. The conduit is formed of a material of lower heat conductivity than the housing, and passes through the wall of the housing at the compressed gases outlet.
- Preferably the conduit passes into a hollow tubular body extending from the outer surface of the housing, and forms a seal therewith.
- Preferably the hollow tubular body is crimped or swaged at a location outside the housing such that the inside surface thereof seals against the outside surface of the discharge conduit.
- Preferably the hollow tubular body extends through the wall of the housing and protrudes from the inside surface of the wall. The inner edge of the protruding end diverges from the outer surface of the discharge conduit.
- Preferably the protruding end of the hollow tubular body locks the portion of the discharge conduit passing through it from relative rotation. For example the protruding end may be suitably swaged or deformed.
- The flexible discharge conduit may be a suitable polymer/plastic material, for example a PTFE based plastic material. The hollow tubular body may be a copper (or other metal) pipe, and may be brazed (for example) to the housing.
