Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a swash plate type variable capacity compressor that changes a stroke of a piston by controlling the pressure of a crank chamber ( 6 ), lubrication oil contained in refrigerant gas is maximally prevented from being circulated outside the compressor. Some of discharged refrigerant gas in a discharge chamber ( 22 ) flows into the crank chamber ( 6 ) through a communication passage ( 25 ) ( 25 a and 25 b ) and a control valve ( 27 ), while some of the discharged refrigerant gas flows out to a suction chamber ( 21 ) from the crank chamber ( 6 ) through a second communication passage ( 26 ) and an orifice ( 28 ), and the pressure of the crank chamber ( 6 ) is controlled through a balance between an inflow amount and an outflow amount. Oil storage chamber ( 30 ) extends downstream of the control valve ( 27 ) on the first communication passage ( 25 ) to separate oil and store the separated oil. Oil return passage ( 31 ) returns the oil stored in the oil storage chamber ( 30 ) to the crank chamber ( 6 ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A variable capacity compressor including a piston which compresses refrigerant gas containing lubrication oil drawn from a suction chamber to discharge the compressed refrigerant gas to a discharge chamber, a crank chamber disposed in the rear of the piston, a first communication passage which allows the discharge chamber and the crank chamber to communicate with each other, a second communication passage which allows the crank chamber and the suction c…
