SCROLL COMPRESSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240240637 titled 'SCROLL COMPRESSOR
The abstract describes a scroll compressor with first and second variable-capacity units that facilitate communication between intermediate pressure chambers and the low-pressure portion of the compressor.
- The first variable-capacity unit includes a passage connecting to the intermediate pressure chamber, at least one valve to control the passage, and an opening and closing valve to regulate the valve's operation.
- The second variable-capacity unit features a passage connecting to a different intermediate pressure chamber, at least one valve to control the passage, and an opening and closing valve to regulate the valve's operation.
Potential Applications: - HVAC systems - Refrigeration units - Air compressors
Problems Solved: - Improved efficiency in compression systems - Enhanced control over pressure levels
Benefits: - Energy savings - Increased performance - Reduced wear and tear on components
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Variable-Capacity Scroll Compressor Technology This technology can be utilized in various industries such as HVAC, refrigeration, and manufacturing, offering improved efficiency and performance in compression systems.
Questions about Variable-Capacity Scroll Compressor Technology: 1. How does the variable-capacity feature improve the efficiency of the compressor?
- The variable-capacity units allow for precise control over the compression process, optimizing energy usage and performance.
2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this technology?
- By improving efficiency and reducing wear on components, users can benefit from lower energy costs and maintenance expenses over time.
Original Abstract Submitted
a scroll compressor is provided that may include first and second variable-capacity units that provide communication between a first intermediate pressure chamber and a low-pressure portion and between a second intermediate pressure chamber and the low-pressure portion. the first variable-capacity unit may include a first variable-capacity passage that communicates with the intermediate pressure chamber, at least one first variable-capacity valve that opens/closes the first variable-capacity passage, and a first variable-capacity opening and closing valve that controls opening/closing of the at least one first variable-capacity valve, and the second variable-capacity unit may include a second variable-capacity passage that communicates with a second intermediate pressure chamber, at least one second variable-capacity valve that opens/closes the second variable-capacity passage, and a second variable-capacity opening and closing valve that controls opening/closing of the at least one second variable-capacity valve.
