Description

本実施形態では、スライドバルブ(70)の先端面(P2)がスクリューロータ(40)に形成された螺旋溝(41)の伸長方向に沿うように傾斜しているため、円筒壁(30)の内周面(35)におけるバイパス通路(33)の開口部(34)も、スクリューロータ(40)に形成された螺旋溝(41)の伸長方向に沿うように傾斜した形状となる。このため、円筒壁(30)の内周面(35)におけるバイパス通路(33)の開口部(34)のうち螺旋溝(41)と重複する部分の面積(即ち、実バイパス面積)を拡大させることができ、流体室(23)内の冷媒がバイパス通路(33)へ流出する際の圧力損失を低減することができる。従って、本実施形態によれば、流体室(23)内の冷媒をバイパス通路(33)へ押し出すために必要な動力を削減することができ、円筒壁(30)の内周面(35)にバイパス通路(33)が開口している状態(即ち、スクリュー圧縮機(1)の運転容量が最大値未満に設定されている状態)におけるスクリュー圧縮機(1)の運転効率を向上させることができる。
図15に示すように、本実施形態において、スライドバルブ(70)のスクリュー側縁部(73)は、スクリューロータ(40)の周方向シール面(45)の前縁(46)と平行な形状に形成されていてもよい。同図(B)に示すように、本変形例において、流体室(23a)がバイパス通路(33)から遮断された時点では、スライドバルブ(70)のスクリュー側縁部(73)の全体が、流体室(23a)の後方に位置する周方向シール面(45b)の前縁(46b)と重なり合う。
図17,図18に示すように、本実施形態において、スライドバルブ(70)のスクリュー側縁部(73)の形状は、その伸長方向とスクリューロータ(40)の周方向(即ち、スクリューロータ(40)の回転方向)のなす角度が図7に示す場合よりも若干小さくなる形状であってもよい。図17及び図18の何れに示すものにおいても、円筒壁(30)のスクリュー側縁部(13)は、スライドバルブ(70)のスクリュー側縁部(73)と平行になっている。
図19,図20に示すように、本実施形態において、スライドバルブ(70)のスクリュー側縁部(73)の形状は、その伸長方向とスクリューロータ(40)の周方向(即ち、スクリューロータ(40)の回転方向)のなす角度が図7に示す場合よりも若干大きくなる形状であってもよい。図19及び図20の何れに示すものにおいても、円筒壁(30)のスクリュー側縁部(13)は、スライドバルブ(70)のスクリュー側縁部(73)と平行になっている。
上記実施形態は、シングルスクリュー圧縮機に本発明を適用したものであるが、ツインスクリュー圧縮機(いわゆるリショルム圧縮機)に本発明を適用してもよい。
