Refrigerant compressor for air-conditioning systems and method for operating a refrigerant compressor
A refrigerant compressor for air-conditioning systems and to a method for operating a refrigerant compressor, is based on the object of specifying a solution with which safe functioning of a refrigerant compressor is achieved and in which the effort during production of the refrigerant compressor and the costs are reduced.
1 . A refrigerant compressor for an air-conditioning system, comprising:
a filter arranged in a region in front of a spiral nozzle insert of the refrigerant compressor, as seen in a direction of a mass flow of a refrigerant of the refrigerant compressor, to prevent blockages in the refrigerant compressor, wherein an annular channel surrounding a molding is arranged on a central housing of the refrigerant compressor, that the molding has a circular ring-shaped flat face, and that a friction plate is arranged parallel to the circular ring-shaped flat face, wherein a gap acting as the filter is formed between the circular ring-shaped flat face and the friction plate.
2 . The refrigerant compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the annular channel is connected via a side chamber to an inflow for the refrigerant of the refrigerant compressor.
3 . The refrigerant compressor according to claim 1 , wherein a bore, in which the spiral nozzle insert is placed, is arranged inside the molding in the central housing of the refrigerant compressor.
4 . The refrigerant compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the molding has a trapezoidal or rectangular cross-section.
5 . The refrigerant compressor according to claim 1 , wherein a size of the gap is within a range between 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm.
6 . The refrigerant compressor according to claim 1 , wherein an inner diameter of the circular ring-shaped flat face of the molding is within a range between 6 mm and 12 mm, and that a width of the circular ring-shaped flat face of the molding is within a range between 1 mm and 3 mm.
7 . A method for operating a refrigerant compressor, in which particles exceeding a predefined size are filtered out in a region in front of a spiral nozzle insert of the refrigerant compressor, as seen in a direction of a mass flow of a refrigerant of the refrigerant compressor, wherein an annular channel surrounding a molding is provided in a central housing of the refrigerant compressor, that the molding is provided with a circular ring-shaped flat face, and that a friction plate is provided parallel to the circular ring-shaped flat face, as a result of which a filter which retains the particles exceeding the predefined size is formed by a gap between the circular ring-shaped flat face and the friction plate.
8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the mass flow of the refrigerant takes place via a side chamber with an inflow into the annular channel via the gap into the spiral nozzle insert provided in a bore, wherein the particles exceeding the predefined size are retained by the gap and thus do not reach the region of the spiral nozzle insert.
9 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the gap is provided with a size between 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm.
