HORIZONTAL COMPRESSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17966263 titled 'HORIZONTAL COMPRESSOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a horizontal compressor design for compressing refrigerant in a refrigeration system. The compressor is housed in a case, which is divided into a high-pressure chamber and a low-pressure chamber by a separating plate. The compressor is operated by a motor and is connected to a suction pipe that allows the refrigerant to be sucked into the compressor. The innovation lies in the inclusion of an internal suction pipe that passes through the separating plate, with one end connected to the compressor and the other end communicating with the low-pressure chamber. This allows the refrigerant in the low-pressure chamber to flow into the compressor. The internal suction pipe includes a connecting pipe located adjacent to the lower surface of the case and parallel to the central axis of the case.
- The patent describes a horizontal compressor design for compressing refrigerant in a refrigeration system.
- The compressor is housed in a case, which is divided into a high-pressure chamber and a low-pressure chamber by a separating plate.
- The compressor is operated by a motor and is connected to a suction pipe for sucking in the refrigerant.

- This allows the refrigerant in the low-pressure chamber to flow into the compressor.
- The internal suction pipe includes a connecting pipe located adjacent to the lower surface of the case and parallel to the central axis of the case.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in various refrigeration systems that require compressing refrigerant.
- It can be used in household refrigerators, air conditioners, and industrial cooling systems.
Problems Solved
- The design solves the problem of efficiently transferring refrigerant from the low-pressure chamber to the compressor.
- The inclusion of the internal suction pipe allows for a more streamlined and effective refrigerant flow.
Benefits
- The horizontal compressor design provides a compact and space-saving solution for refrigeration systems.
- The internal suction pipe improves the efficiency of refrigerant transfer, resulting in better overall performance.
- The connecting pipe located adjacent to the lower surface of the case ensures a more direct and efficient refrigerant flow.
Original Abstract Submitted
A horizontal compressor includes a case; a high and low pressure separating plate dividing an inner space of the case into a high-pressure chamber and a low-pressure chamber; a compressor in the high-pressure chamber configured to be operated by a motor to compress refrigerant; a suction pipe in the case to communicate with the low-pressure chamber and through which the refrigerant is sucked; and an internal suction pipe to pass through the high and low pressure separating plate, one end of the internal suction pipe connected to the compressor and another end of the internal suction pipe to communicate with the low-pressure chamber so that the refrigerant in the low-pressure chamber flows into the compressor, wherein the internal suction pipe includes a connecting pipe adjacent to a lower surface of the case parallel to a central axis of the case.
