Abstract
An electric compressor includes a housing, refrigerant inlet port, a refrigerant outlet port, an inverter section, a motor section, a compression device, and a passive pressure system. The refrigerant inlet port is coupled to the housing and is configured to introduce the refrigerant to the intake volume. The compression device is a scroll-type compression device configured to compress the refrigerant. The refrigerant outlet port is coupled to the housing and is configured to allow compressed refrigerant to exit the scroll-type electric compressor from the discharge volume. The passive pressure system is located within the compression device and has a first end located adjacent the intake volume and a second end located adjacent the discharge volume. The passive pressure system is configured to automatically open a passage between the discharge volume and the intake volume allowing compressed refrigerant to be recycled into the intake volume.
