20100329914 | COMPRESSOR - A compressor is configured to compress a refrigerant and use a lubricating oil. The compressor includes a compression mechanism configured to compress the refrigerant, a driving shaft configured to rotate about a rotation axis in order to drive the compression mechanism, a slide bearing slidably supporting the driving shaft, a first surface fixed to the driving shaft and intersecting with a line arranged in parallel to the rotation axis, a second surface facially abutted to the first surface, and a recovery space formed in the compressor. The recovery space is configured and arranged to recover the lubricating oil leaking out of bottom ends of sliding surfaces of the slide bearing and the driving shaft. The first surface and the second surface respectively continue to surfaces forming the recovery space. | 12-30-2010 |
20110088414 | AIR CONDITIONING APPARATUS REFRIGERANT QUANTITY DETERMINATION METHOD AND AIR CONDITIONING APPARATUS - A refrigerant circuit of an air conditioning apparatus includes a heat source unit, a utilization unit having a utilization-side heat exchanger, and liquid and gas refrigerant connection pipes interconnecting the heat source unit and the utilization unit. The heat source unit has an adjustable capacity compressor, a heat source-side heat exchanger, an expansion mechanism and an accumulator. The refrigerant circuit can perform at least cooling operation. Compressor frequency, degree of superheat, and degree of supercooling are stored in a stable state where the degree of supercooling has been made equal to or greater than a first predetermined value. After a predetermined time period, the degree of supercooling is detected while compressor frequency and degree of superheat become the stored compressor frequency and degree of superheat. The detected degree of supercooling is compared with the stored degree of supercooling to determine adequacy of the quantity of refrigerant inside the refrigerant circuit. | 04-21-2011 |
20110107780 | AIR CONDITIONING APPARATUS AND AIR CONDITIONING APPARATUS REFRIGERANT QUANTITY DETERMINATION METHOD - A refrigerant circuit of an air conditioning apparatus includes a heat source unit, a utilization unit having a utilization-side heat exchanger, an expansion mechanism, and liquid and gas refrigerant connection pipes interconnecting the heat source unit and the utilization unit. The heat source unit has an adjustable capacity compressor, a heat source-side heat exchanger, and a cooling heat source adjusting part to adjust cooling action of a cooling heat source with respect to the heat source-side heat exchanger. The refrigerant circuit can perform at least a cooling operation. A determination of the adequacy of the quantity of the refrigerant charged inside of the refrigerant circuit is made based on a first degree of supercooling corrected value derived by correcting a degree of supercooling or an operating state quantity by at least one of outside air temperature, condensation temperature, and a value obtained by numericizing cooling action. | 05-12-2011 |
