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.
