Abstract
The invention in question pertains to the technological field of refrigeration compressors. A hermetic compressor for positive displacement is disclosed whose airtight housing is specially altered so that its natural frequencies of vibration are distributed at frequencies above 4200 Hz and whose “capacitance density” is greater than 160 W/L.
Claims4
A hermetic compressor for positive displacement, the compressor comprising:
- at least one airtight housing defined by the joining of at least one body and at least one cap;
- at least one compression mechanism defined by at least one compression cylinder and a movable piston;
- at least one electric motor controlled by at least one electronic control system;
- said at least one compression mechanism and said at least one electric motor being associated with each other;
- said at least one compression mechanism and said at least one electric motor being housed within said airtight housing;
- said compressor for positive displacement comprising an internal functional volume 0.88 liters to 1.4 liters and the at least one compression cylinder with a compression volume of 5 cm3 to 8 cm3;
- wherein the compressor is sized such that said at least one airtight housing has a reduced surface area;
- wherein said at least one airtight housing comprises a first natural frequency of vibration greater than 4200 Hz;
- wherein a capacity density of the compressor is from 160 W/L to 308 W/L when said compressor operates in an ASHRAE low back pressure (LBP) condition, and
- wherein the ASHRAE LBP condition is defined as an evaporating temperature of −23.3° C. and a condensing temperature of 54.4° C.
