A positive displacement rotary compressor is designed for near isothermal compression, high pressure ratios, high revolutions per minute, high efficiency, mixed gas/liquid compression, a low temperature increase, a low outlet temperature, and/or a high outlet pressure. Liquid injectors provide cooling liquid that cools the working fluid and improves the efficiency of the compressor. A gate moves within the compression chamber to either make contact with or be proximate to the rotor as it turns. |

In the hermetically sealed scroll compressor, an injection pipe for injecting a fluid to a compression chamber is connected to an injecting port of a fixed scroll. The injecting port includes a first injecting port which is provided in the vicinity of a fixed scroll inner curve and injects the fluid to an orbiting outer compression chamber, and a second injecting port 22b which is provided in the vicinity of a fixed scroll outer curve and injects the fluid to a orbiting inner compression chamber 8b. The second injecting port is placed in parallel in a radius direction with respect to the first injecting port and is placed so that an orbiting scroll wrap does not practically communicate with the orbiting outer compression chamber in the state in which the orbiting scroll wrap is in contact with the outer side of a fixed scroll wrap. |

A screw compressor has a screw rotor and a cylinder having an economizer port. The economizer port communicates with a compression chamber formed between the screw rotor and the cylinder. The economizer port is configured and arranged to jet a refrigerant into the compression chamber before closing the compression chamber. Accordingly, the economizer is in communication with the compression chamber while the inner pressure of the compression chamber is low. |

The fluid system is intended for an oscillating-piston engine (100) which has at least two double-armed oscillating pistons (4) arranged in a spherical housing (19) and revolving together about an axis (23) of revolution arranged in the housing centre, wherein the oscillating pistons, when revolving, mutually perform reciprocating oscillating movements about an oscillation axis (24) perpendicular to the axis (23) of revolution, and guide members (5) attached to at least two pistons (4) engage in at least one guide groove (17) formed in the housing (19) and serving to control the oscillating movements. The fluid system (70) comprises at least one central feed opening (1), lying in the vicinity of an end of the axis (23) of revolution, for a fluid, continuous cavities and/or bores (10) in the pistons (4) for the fluid, and a fluid discharge on the outer side (3) of the respective piston. A rotation of the pistons (4) about the axis (23) of revolution causes a pressure difference which acts as suction at the feed opening (1) and as pressure in the discharge region (16) and thus makes possible a pumpless fluid system or a fluid system which needs only a low supply pressure. The fluid system serves, for example, to lubricate the oscillating-piston engine (100) and—when fuel is used as the fluid—can be supplied with fluid from a fuel tank together with a fuel supply and with cooling of the oscillating-piston engine. |

A screw compressor has a screw rotor (10) and a cylinder (11) having an economizer port (12). The economizer (12) communicates with a compression chamber (13) before closing the compression chamber (13) between the screw rotor (10) and the cylinder (11). Accordingly, the economizer port (12) can be communicated with the compression chamber (13) while the inner pressure of the compression chamber (13) is low. Thereby, the amount of a refrigerant jetted form the economizer can be increased. Cooling effect by a refrigerant is enhanced by increasing the amount of the refrigerant jetted from the economizer port. |

A temperature control system for compressor exhaust includes a data sampling unit, an exhaust sensor, a control unit, and a temperature adjusting unit. The data sampling unit obtains temperature and-humidity values of an environment of the compressor. The exhaust sensor senses exhaust temperature. The control unit is coupled to the data sampling unit and the exhaust sensor, generates a reference temperature value from the temperature and humidity values received from the data sampling unit, and further generates a control signal from the reference temperature value and the exhaust temperature received from the exhaust sensor. The temperature adjusting unit is coupled to the control unit, and is operable so as to adjust the exhaust temperature in response to the control signal received from the control unit. |

The refrigeration system of the present invention includes multiple economizer circuits. After flowing through the condenser, a first path of refrigerant is split from the main path. The refrigerant in the first path is expanded to a lower pressure and cools the refrigerant in the main path in the high pressure economizer heat exchanger. The refrigerant in the first path then returns to the compressor in a high pressure economizer port. A second path of refrigerant is then split from the main path. The refrigerant in the second flow path is expanded to a lower pressure and cools the refrigerant in the main path in the low pressure economizer heat exchanger. The refrigerant in the second path then return to the compressor in a low pressure economizer port. The refrigerant in the main path is then evaporated. The dual stage economizer refrigeration system can be employed with a screw compressor or a scroll compressor. |

A refrigeration system has a compressor which incorporates fluid injection into one or more of the fluid pockets. A source of fluid for injection into the pockets is attached directly to the shell of the compressor to eliminate the need for having fluid piping between the source of fluid and the compressor. The source of fluid can be a flash tank which increases the capacity and efficiency of the system or the source of fluid can be a heat exchanger which also increases the capability and efficiency of the system. |

A scroll compressor incorporates a vapor injection system where, only one vapor injection port is utilized. The single vapor injection port injects refrigerant vapor into two of the initially formed enclosed spaces. The scrolls of the scroll compressor are designed with asymmetric wraps where the non-orbiting scroll wrap extends angularly further than the orbiting scroll wrap. |

A scroll compressor is provided with economizer injection ports which extend through the wrap of one of the scroll members. Preferably the injection ports are formed through a so-called “hybrid” wrap which has a varying thickness. The other scroll member is provided with grooves in its base plate. The injection of economizer fluid occurs only during a portion of the orbiting cycle when the injection port and corresponding grooves are aligned with each other. However, as the orbiting cycle continues, the injection port will no longer be aligned with the groove. At that point, the injection is ceased. This allows a simple and precise way for valving the flow of the economizer fluid into the compression chambers. |
