SCROLL COMPRESSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18150002 titled 'SCROLL COMPRESSOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a scroll compressor with a refrigerant accommodating groove recessed in the fixed wrap and orbiting wrap of the compression chamber.

  • The refrigerant accommodating groove increases the volume of the compression chamber in the discharge area, allowing for the escape of liquid refrigerant and preventing excessive compression.
  • This reduces stress on the fixed wrap and prevents damage to it caused by pressure in the compression chamber.
  • The refrigerant accommodating groove ensures a space for liquid refrigerant to escape, improving the overall efficiency and performance of the scroll compressor.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a scroll compressor. The scroll compressor may be provided with at least one refrigerant accommodating groove recessed to a preset depth in at least one from a side surface of a fixed wrap constituting a compression chamber and a side surface of an orbiting wrap. Thus, a volume of the compression chamber in a discharge area may be increased in correspondence with a volume of the at least one refrigerant accommodating groove, and a space into which liquid refrigerant, etc. may escape may be ensured to resolve excessive compression in the compression chamber. Then, a stress exerted on the fixed wrap is reduced, and a damage to the fixed wrap due to pressure in the compression chamber may be suppressed.
