Abstract

There is provided a compressing apparatus housing including: an inner housing unit configured to house at least a portion of an impeller unit; an outer housing unit including an inner housing receiving unit configured to receive at least a portion of the inner housing unit; and an intermediate housing unit provided between the inner housing unit and the outer housing unit and configured to form a flow path together with at least one of the inner housing unit and the outer housing unit.

Claims (33)

1. A compressing apparatus housing comprising:

an inner housing unit configured to house at least a portion of an impeller unit;

an outer housing unit comprising an inner housing receiving unit configured to house at least a portion of the inner housing unit; and

an intermediate housing unit provided between the inner housing unit and the outer housing unit,

wherein an inner housing flow path groove is formed in an outside surface of the inner housing unit and a first flow path is formed between the inner housing flow path groove and an inside surface of the intermediate housing unit, the inner housing flow path groove extending helically along an axial direction of the inner housing unit, and

wherein the outside surface of the inner housing unit including the inner housing flow path groove contacts the inside surface of the intermediate housing unit along an outer circumference of the inner housing unit.

2. The compressing apparatus housing of claim 1 , wherein the inner housing unit comprises a flange unit configured to be attached to the outer housing unit.

3. The compressing apparatus housing of claim 2 , wherein the flange unit comprises a seal installation groove provided at a portion thereof facing the outer housing unit.

4. The compressing apparatus housing of claim 1 , wherein an outer housing flow path groove is formed in an inside surface of the outer housing unit and a second flow path is formed between the outer housing flow path groove and an outside surface of the intermediate housing unit.

5. The compressing apparatus housing of claim 4 , wherein the intermediate housing unit comprises a flow hole configured to connect the first flow path and the second flow path.

6. The compressing apparatus housing of claim 1 , wherein the outer housing unit comprises:

an upper outer housing; and

a lower outer housing connected to the upper outer housing.

7. The compressing apparatus housing of claim 1 , wherein the intermediate housing unit has a hollow cylindrical shape.

8. The compressing apparatus housing of claim 1 , wherein the intermediate housing unit comprises a fluid guide unit configured to guide a fluid flowing through the first flow path.

9. A compressing apparatus comprising:

at least one impeller unit;

an inner housing unit configured to house at least a portion of the at least one impeller unit;

an outer housing unit comprising an inner housing receiving unit configured to house at least a portion of the inner housing unit; and

an intermediate housing unit provided between the inner housing unit and the outer housing unit,

wherein an inner housing flow path groove is formed in an outside surface of the inner housing unit and a first flow path is formed between the inner housing flow path groove and an inside surface of the intermediate housing unit, and

wherein a centerline of the inner housing flow path groove extends along a helical line on the inner housing unit, the helical line extending spirally in an axial direction of the compressing apparatus.

10. The compressing apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the inner housing unit comprises a flange unit configured to be attached to the outer housing unit.

11. The compressing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the flange unit comprises a seal installation groove provided at a portion thereof facing the outer housing unit.

12. The compressing apparatus of claim 9 , wherein an outer housing flow path groove is formed in an inside surface of the outer housing unit and a second flow path is formed between the outer housing flow path groove and an outside surface of the intermediate housing unit.

13. The compressing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the intermediate housing unit comprises a flow hole configured to connect the first flow path and the second flow path.

14. The compressing apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the outer housing unit comprises:

an upper outer housing; and

a lower outer housing connected to the upper outer housing.

15. The compressing apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the intermediate housing unit has a hollow cylindrical shape.

16. The compressing apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the intermediate housing unit comprises a fluid guide unit configured to guide a fluid flowing through the first flow path.

17. The compressing apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising a driving gear train configured to drive the impeller unit,

wherein the outer housing unit further comprises a gear train receiving unit configured to house the driving gear train.
