Abstract

The scroll compressor includes a scroll compression mechanism portion in combination of an orbiting scroll and a fixed scroll, a frame for supporting the compression portion, a rotary shaft fitted in the orbiting scroll, a motor portion coupled to the rotary shaft, and a hermetic chamber incorporating the above-mentioned components. Windings of a stator of a motor in the motor portion are formed of aluminum wires which are coated with fluororesin compound, that is, the aluminum wires are coated with fluororesin and is molded with a resin material. Ammonia group refrigerant is used in the scroll compressor. Further, a refrigerating system using the above-mentioned scroll compressor, is incorporated therein with a circuit for injecting ammonia group refrigerant into a compression room in the compression mechanism portion.

Claims (14)

1. A scroll compressor adapted to be used for a refrigerating system, having a container, and comprising, in the container, a scroll compressor mechanism portion including an orbiting scroll and a fixed scroll, and the motor portion for driving the compressor mechanism portion,

wherein an ammonia group refrigerant is used as a working medium, aluminum wires are used for windings in the motor portion, and the scroll compressor portion has a compression chamber which incorporates therein an injection circuit for feeding a part of high pressure refrigerant cooled by a condenser in the refrigerating system so as to restrain a temperature of the refrigerant from rising during compression stroke.

2. A scroll compressor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the aluminum wires in the motor portion are coated thereover with fluororesin.

3. A scroll compressor as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the fluororesin with which the aluminum wires are coated thereover is subjected to photochemical reaction using amine compound so as to carry out surface-reforming for the fluororesin as a coating material so as to enhance the adherence between the aluminum wires and the coating material.

4. A scroll compressor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the windings in the motor portion are molded at their ends with dicyclopentadiene.

5. A scroll compressor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the motor portion includes a DC brushless motor.

6. A scroll compressor as set forth in claim 5 , wherein stator windings in the motor portion are formed by concentrated-winding so as to enhance the working efficiency of molding of the winding ends.

7. An ammonia group refrigerant type refrigerating system comprising:

a scroll compressor composed, in a container, of a scroll compressor mechanism portion incorporating a scroll compressor mechanism portion including an orbiting scroll and a fixed scroll, and a motor portion for driving the compressor mechanism portion, aluminum wires being used for windings in the motor portion,

a condenser for condensing refrigerant discharged from the scroll compressor, and

a liquid injection circuit for feeding liquid refrigerant cooled by the condenser into a compression chamber in the scroll compressor so as to restrain a temperature of the refrigerant from rising during compression stroke,

wherein ammonia group refrigerant is used as the refrigerant, and a flow rate control means for controlling an injection flow rate so as to restrain a discharge temperature of the scroll compressor from rising is provided in the liquid injection circuit.

8. An ammonia group refrigerating type refrigerating system as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the flow rate control means in the liquid injection circuit is an injection valve or an electronic expansion valve which is controlled so that a liquid injection quantity is controlled in relation to a temperature of a discharge side of the scroll compressor.

9. An ammonia group refrigerating system as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the aluminum wires in the motor portion are coated thereover with fluororesin.
