Abstract
A hybrid compressor includes a first compression mechanism, which is driven by a first drive source, a second compression mechanism, which is driven by a second drive source, and a communication path communicating between a suction chamber of the first compression mechanism and a suction chamber of the second compression mechanism. The first compression mechanism may be adapted only to be driven by the first drive source and the second compression mechanism may be adapted only to be driven the second drive source. Therefore, the compression mechanisms are adapted to their respective drive sources.
Claims22
A hybrid compressor comprising:
- a first compression mechanism, which is driven by a first drive source;
- a second compression mechanism, which is driven by a second drive source, and which is incorporated into said compressor integrally with said first compression mechanism;
- and
- a communication path communicating between a first suction chamber of said first compression mechanism and a second suction chamber of said second compression mechanism.
A hybrid compressor comprising:
- a first compression mechanism, which is driven by a first drive source;
- a second compression mechanism, which is driven by a second drive source, and which is incorporated into said compressor integrally with said first compression mechanism;
- and
- a suction chamber common to both said first and second compression mechanisms.
A hybrid compressor comprising:
- a scroll-type first compression mechanism, which is driven by a first drive source;
- a scroll-type second compression mechanism, which is driven by a second drive source, and which is incorporated integrally into said compressor with said first compression mechanism;
- and
- a housing containing said first and second compression mechanisms, wherein a first fixed scroll of said first compression mechanism and a second fixed scroll of said second compression mechanism are disposed opposingly, and said two fixed scrolls and a shared portion of said housing are formed integrally.
A hybrid compressor comprising:
- a first compression mechanism, which is driven by a first drive source;
- a second compression mechanism, which is driven by a second drive source, and which is incorporated integrally into said compressor with said first compression mechanism;
- and
- a housing containing said first and said second compression mechanisms, wherein at least one of a discharge chamber and a suction chamber for said first and second compression mechanisms is formed radially about an exterior of said housing.
A hybrid compressor comprising:
- a first compression mechanism, which is driven by a first drive source;
- a second compression mechanism, which is driven by a second drive source, and which is incorporated integrally into said compressor with said first compression mechanism;
- a housing containing said first and second compression mechanisms;
- a discharge chamber for said first and second compression mechanisms provided radially on an exterior of said housing;
- a first discharge path provided between said first compression mechanism and said discharge chamber;
- and
- a second discharge path provided between said second compression mechanism and said discharge chamber.
