Abstract
An absorption pipe structure of a compressor, capable of reducing vibration of the absorption pipe and making the machinery room small-sized, by making short the length of the absorption pipe connected with the compressor and forming the curved part formed in a proper diameter, is provided.
Claims20
An absorption pipe structure for reducing vibration of a compressor, the structure comprising:
- a four-way valve for switching between a cooling and a heating operation of an air conditioner;
- and
- an absorption pipe for supplying a refrigerant to the compressor from the four-way valve, the absorption pipe comprising at least one looped section that is configured to have its lowest end located at a position that corresponds to one third of the whole height of the compressor.
An absorption pipe structure for reducing vibration of a compressor comprising:
- a refrigerant supplying part for supplying a refrigerant to the compressor;
- and
- an absorption pipe for connecting the compressor with the refrigerant supplying part, the absorption pipe comprising at least one curved part, wherein a diameter of a loon formed by the curved part is less than three times a diameter of the absorption pipe.
An absorption pipe structure for reducing vibration of a compressor, the structure comprising:
- a refrigerant supplying part for supplying a refrigerant to the compressor;
- and
- an absorption pipe for connecting the compressor with the refrigerant supplying part, the absorption pipe comprising at least one part that is looped and at least one part that is straight, the straight part being configured to have a length that is less than four times a diameter of the absorption pipe.
