MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiments, the same or equivalent parts are designated by the same reference numerals in the drawings.

[0014] (First Embodiment)

The compressor according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The compressor of this embodiment constitutes a small air conditioner 1. The small air conditioner 1 is installed under the seat of a vehicle such as an automobile or a personal moity, and is used to improve the comfort of passengers by blowing air-conditioned air from the side of the seat. In the following description, when terms such as upper side, lower side, left side, and right side are used, those terms are used for convenience of explanation, and the position and orientation when the small air conditioner 1 is mounted on a vehicle, etc. Is not limited.

[0015] As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, in the small air conditioner 1, the blower side blower 7, the exhaust side blower 8 and the like are housed in the air conditioning case 10 together with the refrigeration cycle components 2 to 5. It is a thing.

[0016] In the refrigeration cycle, a compressor 2, a condenser 3, a pressure reducing mechanism 4, an evaporator 5 and the like are connected by piping to form a vapor compression refrigerator. As a refrigerant circulating in the refrigeration cycle, for example, 1 ^to 10 series refrigerant (for example,

1 3 4 ₃ ) or 1 ^to 1 0 type refrigerant (for example,

Etc. are used. Note that a natural refrigerant (for example, carbon dioxide) or the like may be used as the refrigerant.

[0017] In the following description, among the refrigerants circulating in the refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant flowing from the compressor 2 to the pressure reducing mechanism 4 via the condenser 3 is referred to as a high pressure refrigerant, and from the outlet of the pressure reducing mechanism 4 to the evaporator 5 The refrigerant flowing into the compressor 2 via the refrigerant is sometimes called a low-pressure refrigerant.

The compressor 2 compresses the refrigerant sucked from the pipe 90 and discharges it from the outlet 2 12. The compressor 2 is an electric compressor that drives a compression mechanism with an electric motor.

The rotation speed of the electric motor is controlled by the control signal transmitted from the control device 30 shown in FIG. Therefore, the control device 30 controls the number of revolutions of the electric motor to change the refrigerant discharge capacity of the compressor 2.

A refrigerant inlet of the condenser 3 is connected to a pipe through which the high pressure refrigerant is discharged from the compressor 2. The condenser 3 is a heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the high-temperature and high-pressure cooling medium discharged from the compressor 2 and the air passing through the condenser 3. The refrigerant flowing through the condenser 3 radiates heat to the air passing through the condenser 3 to be condensed. The air passing through the condenser 3 absorbs heat from the refrigerant flowing through the condenser 3 and becomes hot air.
