Definitions

  • This invention relates to a hermetically-enclosed refrigerating machine in which the internal chamber of the capsule enclosing the machine is under pressure.
  • hermetically-enclosed refrigerating machines In the interior of the capsule of hermetically-enclosed refrigerating machines heat is generated at the windings of the driving motor, by the compression of the refrigerant gas, and as a result of friction in the machine parts.
  • modern hermetically-enclosed refrigerating machines are, because of the requirement for the lowest possible noise level, spring mounted inside the capsule, and therefore they have a very poor thermal connection to the wall of the capsule. It is, for this reason, diicult to carry away the heat generated inside the capsule.
  • Increased temperatures in the capsule as a result of the accumulation of the heat generated are not only dangerous from the standpoint of the electrical parts ofthe compressor, but they also lower the viscosity of the lubricating oil to a substantial extent.
  • those parts of the refrigeration unit which are disposed in the interior of the capsule and which conduct lthe cooling medium under compression pressure are provided with means for suppressing emission of heat to the interiorof the capsule.
  • the capsule temperature is decreased by means of a reduction in heat emission interiorly of the capsule itself in contrast to known methods which involve forced cooling.
  • the pressure line of the refrigeration unit is provided with heat insulation.
  • Such a construction, according to the invention, is particularly effective when the exterior of the pressure line is provided with means which hinder gas flow and oil condensation which would tend to cause heat transmission.
  • the muler or silencer in the pressure line can form part of the pressure line. Because the muffler in the pressure line has a rather large surface, and is thus a rather large heat emitting member, the insulation of the mutaler in connection With the insulation of the pressure line is 'of great importance. Even in the case when only the muflier in the pressure line is insulated, a significant reduction in the capsule temperature will be brought about.
  • the pressure line is positioned in the unit externally of the oil in a crankcase portion of the capsule or hermetic casing of the refrigeration compressor.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a hermetically-enclosed machine embodying features of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan View of the assembly shown in FIG. l but with the cover of the capsule removed;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a heat insulation according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a similar view of another embodiment of a heat insulation according to the invention.
  • the machine illustrated and designated generally by the reference numeral 1 is mounted by means of springs 4 interiorly of a hermetic sealed casing or capsule 2 which is provided with a cover 3, all in conventional manner.
  • the springs 4 are secured to the supporting element 5 for the motor stator 7, the element 5 being provided with a bearing for the vertical crank shaft 6 of the motor.
  • the shaft 6 supports the rotor (not shown) of the electric motor.
  • the compressor cylinder 8 is disposed and secured above the stator-supporting element 5.
  • the cylinder S receives the piston 9 which is actuated by the crank pin 11 through the crank rod 10.
  • the valve separator plate 12 is disposed at the upper dead center point of the piston and carries the suction and pressure valves, which, however, are not visible.
  • the two valve chambers, together with their associated outlet lines, are disposed in the cover plate 13.
  • the portion of the machine just described forms no part of the present invention and can be of known construction. From the pressure outlet of the cover plate 13 a tube 14 leads to a muiiier 15 in the pressure line which, by means of a connector i6, communicates with a circular sinuous line 17. By reason of this construction, the pressure line can easily equalize the movements which occur between the cylinder assembly and the pressure line passage unit 18 in the capsule Wall. In FIG. 1 part of the connector 16 has been omitted so that the inlet 14 can be sho-wn.
  • the hot gas pressure line, or conduit means i.e. the entire assembly 14 to'l7, or part of it, is provided with means for reducing heat emission.
  • this means is shown in FIG. 3 wherein the pressure line tube section i7 is shown as being provided with its own insulation.
  • FIG. 4 A like result is obtained with the construction shown in FIG. 4 wherein the sinuous section 17 of the pressure line is surrounded by an insulating foil sealed sleeve or envelope Ztl, which, in the embodiment illustrated, is formed from two foil sheets suitably joined together. It is advantageous to join the two foil sheets together along marginal edge portions for example along their edges 21. In this case, also, heat transmission between the refrigerant which is under compression pressure and the cooling medium which is under suction pressure is reduced because the latter cannot cause condensation on the line 17. Even the heat loss through the oil is reduced considerably as a result of this foil wrapping.
  • the mutl'ler can also be provided with insulation in the manner shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4. Due to the placement of the muflier in the pressure line there is no danger that heat loss will occur because of heat transfer to the cylinder structure, so that the larger part of that heat which the refrigerant previously emitted into the interior of the capsule, new will be emitted outside the capsule, whereby aisance the internal capsule temperature will be considerably re- Y quizd.
  • the placing of the muffler in the pressure line has the further advantage that the entire cylinder assembly is available for placing silencer chambers for the suction pressure so that a better cooling of the cylinder is thus obtained, and by connecting several silencer chambers in series to the suction line, a very low frequency limit can be achieved.
  • the material must also not lose its strength as a result of continuous vibration or motion because breaking apart of the insulation can have an adverse effect upon the function and eiiiciency of the capsule.
  • a porous material is preferably utilized. Especially suited for this purpose isa terephthalic acid polyester.
  • the motor and the compressor per se are not part of the present invention and they can be of conventional construction, such to the structural changes relating to heat removal described and illustrated which are characteristic of the present invention.
  • a typical motor compressor in which the present invention can be embodied is described, for example, in US. Patent No. 2,312,596. example, of the construction shown in my ctn-pending application led November 13, 1961 entitled Lubricating Device for a Motor Compressor.
