Suction acoustic filter for compressor
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to the technological field of compressors and components and/or devices for compressors. Problem to be solved: The current state of the art includes cooling system of dual evaporation and/or dual suction. On the solutions already existing, the selection of one among the two evaporation/suction lines is done by high complexity constructive mechanisms. Problem resolution: The invention in question aims to simplify the construction of a selection mean of one among two evaporation/suction lines. For so, is revealed a suction acoustic filter for reciprocating compressor which integrates an automatic valve coupled to the inlet way of the suction acoustic filter and a valve of a way is coupled to the inlet way of the suction acoustic filter, being said automatic valve and said valve of a way acting selectively reciprocating, where the valve opening of a way ends up opening the automatic valve.
1. Suction acoustic filter for reciprocating compressor, the suction acoustic filter comprising:
at least a first inlet way and a second inlet way, at least one outlet way and at least one main chamber disposed between the two first and second inlet ways and the outlet way;
wherein the main chamber comprises an acoustic attenuation volume which is common to the two first and second inlet ways and to the at least one outlet way;
characterized by comprising:
at least one automatic valve cooperatively disposed to the first inlet way of the suction acoustic filter;
at least one one-way valve cooperatively disposed to the second inlet way of the suction acoustic filter; and
wherein said automatic valve and said one-way valve are actuated in a selectively alternated manner, in which an opening of the one-way valve defines a closure of the automatic valve, and in which a closure of the one-way valve defines an opening of the automatic valve.
2. Filter, according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the one-way valve comprises a two position valve for two ways.
3. Filter, according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the one-way valve is defined by a valve commanded by a solenoid.
4. Filter, according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the automatic valve is defined by a check valve.
5. Filter, according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the automatic valve is defined by a pressure differential valve.
6. Filter, according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the automatic valve is defined by a plate valve, and is normally open at rest.
7. Filter, according to claim 5 , characterized by the fact that the suction acoustic filter further comprises at least one path stopper disposed inside the main chamber to cooperate with at least one of the automatic valve or the one-way valve.
8. Filter, according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the automatic valve is housed on a bottom portion of the suction filter.
9. Filter, according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the suction acoustic filter further comprises at least one mounting structure disposed inside the main chamber, in which the at least one mounting structure is adapted to allow the assembly thereon of at least one of the two valves.
