Prevention of unpowered reverse rotation in compressors

InactiveUS20060222510A1prevent reversalrule out the possibilityFluid parameterOscillating piston enginesDrive motorAir conditioning
The shutdown of a compressor (10) installed in a refrigerant circuit (2) in air conditioning or refrigeration system is controlled so as to prevent unpowered reverse rotation of the compressor. Prior to terminating electric power to the compressor drive motor (24), the pressure within the system is relieved and substantially equalized across the compressor, thereby eliminating the possibility of unpowered reverse rotation of the compressor at shutdown. Pressure relief and equalization may be achieved by reducing the operating speed of the compressor to a low forward speed for a period of time prior to deenergizing the compressor drive motor. Pressure equalization may also be achieved by driving the compressor in reverse rotation prior to deenergizing the drive motor.

vortex profile design methods and related products

ActiveCN116070362BGeometric CADEngine of arcuate-engagement typeMechanicsDesign methods
This invention relates to the field of scroll machinery technology, and discloses a scroll profile design method and related products. The method includes: representing an algebraic helix with linear differential pitch in polar coordinates; using the algebraic helix with linear differential pitch as a generation baseline; and generating a scroll profile based on the generation baseline. By using the algebraic helix with linear differential pitch in polar coordinates as the generation baseline for generating the scroll profile, and defining different algebraic helixes, scroll disk profiles with significant differences can be generated. This allows the generated scroll profile to flexibly adjust the variation law of the working volume cavity, the variation law of the leakage line length, and the variation law of the connection area with the intake and exhaust ports, thereby achieving flexible adjustment of the profile's geometric performance, improving the flexibility of scroll profile parameter design, expanding the parameter optimization space, and thus improving the thermodynamic performance of the scroll machinery.

Internal combustion engine and methods for operating an internal combustion engine

ActiveDE102024136469B3Engine of arcuate-engagement typeInternal combustion piston enginesInternal combustion engineMechanics
The present application relates to an internal combustion engine operating on the rotary principle, wherein at least one piston rotates on a circular piston path within an annular cylinder chamber bounded by a cylinder wall, passing through various zones of the cylinder chamber. On one full revolution of the internal combustion engine, corresponding to a complete rotation of the piston on its piston path (360°), an air-fuel mixture is ignited behind the piston in a combustion zone of the cylinder chamber. Later, during the same revolution, air located in front of the piston is compressed by the piston in a compression zone of the cylinder chamber. The compressed air is drawn into the piston and transported by the piston along its path into the combustion zone. There, the compressed air is discharged from the piston into the combustion zone and used to form the air-fuel mixture.
