embodiment 1

[0019]FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view illustrating the rotary compressor in embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a stator 2a of a motor 2 is fixed in the upper region of a tightly sealed container 1 and a compressing mechanism unit 5 having a shaft 4 driven by a rotor 2b in the lower region of the tightly sealed container 1. A main bearing 7 is fixed to the top face and a sub-bearing 8 to the bottom face of the cylinder 6 of compressing mechanism unit 5 with a bolt, for example. In the cylinder 6, a piston 9 is placed in an eccentric region 4a of the shaft 4 for eccentric rotation of the shaft.

[0020]In addition, stored in the bottom region of the tightly sealed container 1 is a refrigeration oil 3 of polyvinylethers, polyol esters or polyalkylene glycols containing no extreme pressure additive, which is miscible with a refrigerant containing a carbon-carbon double bond-containing hydrofluoroolefin (for example, HFO1234yf) as its base component (herein...

Abstract

It was found that a refrigerant mainly containing a carbon-carbon double bond-containing hydrofluoroolefin has a function to suppress abrasive wear, compared to conventional HFC-based refrigerants, because the hydrofluoroolefin generates iron fluoride especially on the surface of the vane and piston, where sliding force is severe, from hydrogen fluoride, even if it is generated in reaction with water and oxygen. It is possible to reduce abrasive wear, by using a refrigerant containing as the base component a hydrofluoroolefin as operating refrigerant and a refrigeration oil 3 miscible with the refrigerant and a vane 10 made of a high-speed tool steel and sintered and quenched, because hydrogen fluoride generated by decomposition of the refrigerant in the region of a vane tip region 10a and a piston 9 peripheral surface, where sliding force is severe is converted to iron fluoride. It is also possible to obtain a hardened structure containing carbides of W, Mo, Cr and V dispersed in a fine martensite matrix and produces the rotary compressor more cost-effectively by quenching and sintering the vane 10.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to assurance of reliability of a rotary compressor that uses a refrigerant mainly containing a chlorine atom-free, carbon-carbon double bond-containing hydrofluoroolefin having low global warming potential as its operating refrigerant, for use in refrigeration cycles such as room air conditioners, refrigerators and other air conditioning apparatuses.BACKGROUND ART[0002]HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) systems, which have zero ozone depletion potential, are increasingly used as the operating refrigerants for conventional refrigeration apparatuses, but on the other hand, the HFC-based refrigerants are also causing problems recently, because they have very high global warming potentials. Thus, under study are refrigeration apparatuses that use a refrigerant mainly containing a chlorine atom-free, carbon-carbon double bond-containing hydrofluoroolefin that has low global warming potential. Various studies are made on vanes and pistons used in th...
