Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a rotary compressor used for air conditioners and water heaters. More particularly, it relates to a technique used to control the capacity of a heat pump system and to ensure the reliability of a compressor by exactly detecting the discharge temperature of a refrigerant compressed by a compression section.BACKGROUND ART
[0002] The compressor used for the refrigeration cycle of a heat pump system has a problem in that if the degree of superheat of the intake refrigerant thereof is too high, the density of intake refrigerant decreases, so that the capacity and efficiency of compressor decreases, and a problem in that the temperature of the whole of the compressor rises, so that the reliability of compressor, especially the durability of motor winding and insulating paper, decreases.
[0003] On the other hand, if the intake refrigerant is not in a superheated state but in a wet state, that is, in a state in which the ratio of liquid is h...
