Abstract

A compressor uses a refrigerant containing R1123 (1,1,2-trifluoroethylene) as a working fluid, and uses a polyvinyl ether oil as a compressor lubricating oil. In addition, a fixed scroll ( 12 ) and a revolving scroll ( 13 ) each having a spiral lap rising from an end plate, and a compression chamber ( 15 ) which is formed by meshing the fixed scroll ( 12 ) and the revolving scroll ( 13 ), are provided. In addition, a discharge hole ( 18 ) which is provided at a center position of the end plate of the fixed scroll ( 12 ), and is open to a discharge chamber ( 31 ), a bypass hole ( 68 ) which is provided in the end plate of the fixed scroll ( 12 ), and communicates with the compression chamber ( 15 ) and the discharge chamber ( 31 ) at a timing different from a timing at which the compression chamber ( 15 ) communicates with the discharge hole ( 18 ), and a check valve which is provided in the bypass hole ( 68 ), and allows a flow from the compression chamber ( 15 ) side to the discharge chamber ( 31 ) side.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A compressor which uses a refrigerant containing 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene as a working fluid, and uses a polyvinyl ether oil as a compressor lubricating oil, comprising:
a fixed scroll and a revolving scroll each having a spiral lap rising from an end plate;
a compression chamber which is formed by meshing the fixed scroll and the revolving scroll;
a discharge hole which is provided at a center position of the end plate of the fixed scroll, and is open to a discharge chamber;
a bypass hole which is provided in the end plate of the fixed scroll, and communicates with the compression chamber and the discharge chamber at a timing different from a timing at which the compression chamber communicates with the discharge hole; and
a check valve which is provided in the bypass hole, and allows a flow from a compression chamber side to a discharge chamber side,
wherein the working fluid is selected from the group consisting of
a mixed working fluid comprising 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene and difluoromethane, the difluoromethane being at least 30% by weight to at most 60% by weight in the mixed working fluid,
a mixed working fluid comprising 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene and tetrafluoroethane, the tetrafluoroethane being at least 30% by weight to at most 60% by weight in the mixed working fluid, and
a mixed working fluid comprising 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene, difluoromethane, and tetrafluoroethane, a combination of the difluoromethane and the tetrafluoroethane being at least 30% by weight to at most 60% by weight in the mixed working fluid.

2. The compressor of claim 1 ,
wherein the check valve is a reed valve provided on an end plate surface of the fixed scroll.

3. The compressor of claim 2
wherein the discharge chamber always communicates with the compression chamber via the discharge hole.

4. The compressor of claim 1 ,
wherein the discharge chamber always communicates with the compression chamber via the discharge hole.

5. The compressor of claim 1 ,
wherein the polyvinyl ether oil contains a phosphate ester anti-wear agent.

6. The compressor of claim 1 ,
wherein the polyvinyl ether oil contains a phenolic antioxidant.

7. The compressor of claim 1 ,
wherein the polyvinyl ether oil is a mixed lubricating oil which is obtained by mixing an oil additive with a base oil, a viscosity of the oil additive being adjusted to be equivalent to a viscosity of the base oil by:
mixing a terpene type or a terpenoid type additive with a lubricating oil, an amount of the terpene type or the terpenoid type additive being equal to or greater than 1% and less than 50% of the mixed lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil having a higher viscosity than the viscosity of the base oil, or
mixing the terpene type or the terpenoid type additive with the lubricating oil in advance, the amount of the terpene type or the terpenoid type additive being equal to or greater than 1% and less than 50% of the mixed lubricating oil, the lubricating oil having a super-high viscosity, and an amount of the lubricating oil being equal to or greater than the amount of the terpene type or the terpenoid type additive.

8. The compressor of claim 1 , further comprising:
a motor portion which drives the revolving scroll,
wherein the motor portion uses an electrical wire which is obtained by coating a conductor with a thermosetting insulating material and baking with an insulating layer therebetween, as a coil.

9. The compressor of claim 1 , further comprising:
an airtight container which accommodates the compression chamber and the motor portion,
wherein the airtight container includes a power supply terminal which is installed in a mouth portion via an insulating member, a connection terminal for connecting the power supply terminal to a lead wire, and a doughnut-like insulating member which is disposed to adhere to the insulating member on the power supply terminal on an inner side of the airtight container.

10. A refrigeration cycle device comprising:
the compressor of claim 1 ;
a condenser which cools a refrigerant gas that is compressed by the compressor and has a high pressure;
a throttle mechanism which reduces a pressure of a high-pressure refrigerant which is liquefied by the condenser;
an evaporator which gasifies the refrigerant of which the pressure is reduced by the throttle mechanism; and
piping which links the compressor, the condenser, the throttle mechanism, and the evaporator to each other.

11. The compressor of claim 1 ,
wherein in the working fluid, a combination of the 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene and the difluoromethane and/or the tetrafluoroethane is 100% by weight.

12. A compressor which uses a refrigerant containing 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene as a working fluid, and uses a polyvinyl ether oil as a compressor lubricating oil, comprising:
a fixed scroll and a revolving scroll each having a spiral lap rises from an end plate;
a compression chamber which is formed by engaging the fixed scroll and the revolving scroll;
a first compression chamber which is formed on an outer wall side of the lap of the revolving scroll; and
a second compression chamber which is formed on an inner wall side of the lap of the revolving scroll,
wherein a suction volume of the first compression chamber is greater than a suction volume of the second compression chamber,
wherein the working fluid is selected from the group consisting of
a mixed working fluid comprising 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene and difluoromethane, the difluoromethane being at least 30% by weight to at most 60% by weight in the mixed working fluid,
