A compressor device includes first and second compressors. The first and second compressors include first and second casings having bottom portions in which lubricant is to be stored, first and second compression mechanisms provided in the casings to compress refrigerant and discharge the compressed refrigerant into the casings, and first and second motors provided in the casings. The first and second motors each include a stator and a rotor, and drive the first and second compression mechanisms. The second compressor compresses the refrigerant discharged from the first compressor. The first and second motors have first and second passages extending from axial ends of the first and second motors and through which the refrigerant discharged from the first and second compression mechanisms passes. A cross-sectional area of the second passage is larger than a cross-sectional area of the first passage. A refrigeration apparatus includes the compressor device.

Compressor device and refrigeration apparatus

A compressor includes a casing having a cylindrical barrel, a compression mechanism, and an electric motor. The electric motor has a tubular stator, and a rotor disposed inside the stator. The stator has a back yoke forming an outer peripheral portion of the stator, a plurality of teeth extending radially inward, and slots. A fluid passage extends between an outer peripheral surface of the stator and an inner peripheral surface of the barrel. The fluid passage has a plurality of wide portions arranged in a circumferential direction of the stator, and a narrow portion provided between adjacent ones of the wide portions. The narrow portion has a smaller radial width than each of the wide portions. Each wide portion is provided in the outer peripheral surface of the stator and between a core cut having a recessed groove shape between the slots and the inner peripheral surface of the barrel.

Compressor

A multistage compression system uses refrigerant and oil. The multistage compression system includes a low-stage compressor that compresses the refrigerant, a high-stage compressor that further compresses the refrigerant compressed by the low-stage compressor, and an oil return pipe that returns the oil discharged by the high-stage compressor or the oil in the high-stage compressor to the low-stage compressor. The low-stage compressor has a rotary compression part that compresses the refrigerant, a motor that drives the compression part, and a container housing the compression part and the motor. The motor is disposed above the compression part. The oil return pipe is connected to a space below the motor inside the container.

Multistage compression system

A compressor assembly becomes a compressor as a result of a terminal guard being attached. The compressor assembly includes a body, and a terminal guard mounting seat attached to an outer surface of the body. The terminal guard is attachable to the terminal guard mounting seat. A compressor includes the compressor assembly and the terminal guard. The compressor can be manufactured by attaching the terminal guard mounting seat to the outer surface, administering metal spraying to at least part of the outer surface after attaching the terminal guard mounting seat, and attaching the terminal guard to the terminal guard mounting seat after the administering metal spraying.

Compressor assembly, compressor, and method of manufacturing compressor

A multistage compression system uses refrigerant and oil. The multistage compression system includes a low-stage compressor that compresses the refrigerant, a high-stage compressor that further compresses the refrigerant compressed by the low-stage compressor, an oil return pipe that returns the oil discharged by the high-stage compressor to the low-stage compressor, and an oil discharge pipe that discharges the oil in the low-stage compressor. The low-stage compressor includes a compression part that compresses the refrigerant, a motor that drives the compression part, and a container that houses the compression part and the motor. The container forms a high-pressure space storing compressed refrigerant. Inside of the oil return pipe and inside of the oil discharge pipe are connected to the high-pressure space.

A multistage compression system uses refrigerant and oil. The multistage compression system includes a low-stage compressor that compresses the refrigerant, a high-stage compressor that further compresses the refrigerant compressed by the low-stage compressor, refrigerant pipes that-introduce the refrigerant compressed and discharged by the low-stage compressor into a suction part of the high-stage compressor, a pressure reducing element disposed between the refrigerant pipes, an accumulator disposed between the refrigerant pipes at a downstream side of the pressure reducing element and at an upstream side of the high-stage compressor, and an oil discharge pipe. The oil discharge pipe discharges the oil in the low-stage compressor. The oil discharge pipe connects the low-stage compressor and a portion of the refrigerant pipes. The portion of the refrigerant pipes is on a downstream side of the pressure reducing element and an upstream side of the accumulator.

A compressor includes a casing, a compression mechanism, and a motor that drives the compression mechanism. The casing is configured to cover an internal space. The internal space includes a first space and a second space larger than the first space. The casing has a first casing part covering the first space and a second casing part covering the second space. At least one of the first space and the second space is a high-pressure space configured to contain high-pressure fluid. A metallic coating may be formed on an outer surface of at least the first casing part. Alternatively, a resin coating may be formed on an outer surface of the casing.

Compressor for refrigerating machine

A multistage compression system uses refrigerant and oil. The multistage compression system includes a low-stage compressor that compresses the refrigerant, a high-stage compressor that further compresses the refrigerant compressed by the low-stage compressor, refrigerant pipes that introduce the refrigerant compressed and discharged by the low-stage compressor into a suction part of the high-stage compressor, an intercooler, and an oil discharge pipe. The intercooler cools the refrigerant discharged by the low-stage compressor before the refrigerant is sucked into the high-stage compressor. The intercooler is disposed between the refrigerant pipes. The oil discharge pipe discharges the oil in the low-stage compressor. The oil discharge pipe connects the low-stage compressor and a portion of the refrigerant pipes. The portion of the refrigerant pipes is on an upstream side of the intercooler.

A compressor includes a casing and a metallic coating. The casing includes a low-pressure casing part covering a low-pressure space and a high-pressure casing part covering a high-pressure space. The metallic coating is formed at least on a part of an outer surface of the casing.

At least either the average thickness of the low-pressure part coating or the average thickness of the welded part coating is greater than the average thickness of the high-pressure part coating.

A method of manufacturing a scroll member for a compression mechanism installed in a scroll compressor includes a casting step and a cutting step. An iron casting is formed in the casting step, which includes a spiraling part. The iron casting obtained in the casting step is cut during the cutting step in order to obtain a final shape of the scroll member. The iron casting may include a fixed part having a central portion with a first axial thickness and an external periphery portion with a second axial thickness larger than the first axial thickness before the cutting step. A dimension of a specified portion of the spiraling part may be larger before the cutting step is performed than after the cutting step is performed, with the specified portion preferably disposed toward an external periphery of the spiraling part.
