Compressor
A compressor is provided that comprises; a compression mechanism compressing a fluid; a motor driving the compression mechanism; and a housing that houses the compression mechanism and the motor. The compressor includes a low-temperature fluid passage forming unit having a surface forming a low-temperature fluid passage in which a low-temperature fluid flows and provided in the housing so as to cool the motor, and an oil passage forming unit having a surface forming an oil passage through which oil supplied into the housing flows. At least a part of the oil passage forming unit is arranged so as to face the low-temperature fluid passage forming unit with an interposed portion interposed therebetween such that the oil is cooled by heat exchange with the low-temperature fluid.
1. A compressor comprising:
a compression mechanism compressing a fluid;
a motor driving the compression mechanism; and
a housing that houses the compression mechanism and the motor,
the compressor including
a low-temperature fluid passage forming unit having a surface forming a low-temperature fluid passage in which a low-temperature fluid flows and provided in the housing so as to cool the motor, and
an oil passage forming unit having a surface forming an oil passage through which oil supplied into the housing flows,
at least a part of the oil passage forming unit being arranged so as to face the low-temperature fluid passage forming unit with an interposed portion interposed therebetween such that the oil is cooled by heat exchange with the low-temperature fluid.
2. The compressor according to claim 1 , further comprising an oil cooler cooling the oil that flows through the oil passage.
3. The compressor according to claim 2 , wherein
the oil cooler has a hollow housing into which the low-temperature fluid is supplied, and
a part of the oil passage forming unit is provided within the hollow housing.
4. The compressor according to claim 1 , further comprising an oil pan storing the oil, wherein
the oil pan is provided in the housing.
5. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the low-temperature fluid passage and at least a part of the oil passage are formed in the housing.
6. The compressor according to claim 1 , further comprising a speed increasing machine that is drive-coupled to the motor and transmits motive power of the motor to the compression mechanism, wherein
the oil is supplied to the speed increasing machine.
7. The compressor according to claim 1 , further comprising an oil pump that is drive-coupled to the motor.
8. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the oil passage forming unit is provided in the housing, and the interposed portion is a part of the housing.
9. A compressor comprising:
a compression mechanism compressing a fluid;
a motor driving the compression mechanism; and
a housing that houses the compression mechanism and the motor,
the compressor including
a low-temperature fluid passage forming unit having a surface forming a low-temperature fluid passage in which a low-temperature fluid flows and provided in the housing so as to cool the motor,
an oil passage forming unit having a surface forming an oil passage through which oil supplied into the housing flows, and
an oil cooler cooling the oil that flows through the oil passage,
the oil cooler being provided in the housing.
