[0002] At present, in a refrigeration system using a gas suspension compressor (for example, a gas suspension centrifugal compressor), the gas supply mode of the gas bearing of the compressor is as follows: the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle pipeline of the refrigeration system is pumped into a gas supply tank through the pipeline by means of a liquid supply pump, the refrigerant is evaporated into high-pressure gaseous refrigerant by high-temperature heating in the gas supply tank, and after being discharged from the gas supply tank, the gaseous refrigerant is directly sent to the gas bearing gap of the compressor through the pipeline to support the rotor. The pressurization principle of the gas supply tank is as follows: the heating pipe in the gas supply tank is controlled to increase the temperature by electric energy, the liquid refrigerant in the gas supply tank is heated to evaporate into high-pressure gas, and the high-pressure gas is discharged from the top of the gas supply tank and sent to the gas bearing gap of the compressor through the pipeline. It can be seen that in the existing gas supply system of the gas suspension compressor, in order to ensure stable gas supply pressure, a gas supply tank needs to be additionally provided outside the compressor to stabilize the pressure.

[0003] In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is found that at least the following problems exist in the related art: in the existing gas supply system of the gas suspension compressor, a gas supply tank is needed to ensure stable gas supply pressure, resulting in a complex gas supply system.

The bearing seat adopted by the second bearing seat 220 can only comprise the pressure stabilizing chamber 110 and the communication channel 140 structure, and does not comprise the outer gas inlet channel 121, but does not exclude the structure comprising the inner gas inlet channel 122. That is, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the gas bearing gas supply port of the aerostatic compressor 200 is one, which is located at the side of the first bearing seat 210 of the aerostatic compressor 200, for example, at the side of the primary volute 240 of the aerostatic compressor 200.

Therefore, the external gas supply tank and other pressure stabilizing devices in the gas supply system can be omitted, the gas supply pipeline is simplified, and the complexity is reduced.

[0123] In some embodiments, the pumping device 310 includes a compressor. The compressor can be a conventional compressor, which can effectively pressurize the gaseous refrigerant.

[0124] In some embodiments, the gas supply system further includes a filtering device (not shown in the figure), which is arranged on the pipeline at the input end of the pumping device 310. In this embodiment, the filtering device can be a filter for filtering impurities in the gaseous refrigerant.

[0125] Optionally, the filtering device adopts a cyclone centrifugal device. The cyclone centrifugal device can effectively remove solid and liquid impurities in the gaseous refrigerant. The liquid impurities refer to refrigerant droplets mixed in the gaseous refrigerant. Reducing the mixing of liquid can improve the pressurization effect of the pumping device 310 (the compressor), reduce the damage of the liquid refrigerant to the pumping device 310 and the gas bearing, and prolong the service life.

[0126] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, more specific descriptions of the gas suspension compressor 200 and the structures such as the first bearing seat 210, the second bearing seat 220 and the shell 230 included in the gas suspension compressor 200 can be referred to the descriptions in the foregoing corresponding bearing seat embodiments and gas suspension compressor 200 embodiments, which will not be described here again.

The gaseous refrigerant in the refrigeration system containing the air-suspension compressor 200 is pressurized by the pumping device 310 and directly delivered to the pressure-stabilizing chamber 110 of the air-suspension compressor 200. After pressure stabilization, the gaseous refrigerant is then delivered to the gap between the gas bearings on both sides of the air-suspension compressor 200. Therefore, external pressure-stabilizing equipment such as gas supply tanks can be omitted from the gas supply system, simplifying the gas supply pipeline and thus reducing the complexity of the refrigeration system.

[0130] In some embodiments, the refrigeration system further includes a condenser 320; the input end of the pumping device 310 in the gas supply system is connected to the condenser 320, and pumps the gaseous refrigerant in the condenser 320 to the gas bearing gas supply port of the air suspension compressor 200.
