Lubrication system for swash plate compressor

摘要

Valve and separator unit is mounted to a housing of a compressor. The unit includes a check valve for preventing the reverse flow of refrigerant, and an oil separator for separating a mist of lubricating oil contained in the refrigerant from the refrigerant. Separated lubricating oil is introduced into a crank chamber via an oil passage, and the separated refrigerant is directed to the check valve, which prevents of the reverse flow of the refrigerant from the external refrigerant circuit to the discharge chamber. <IMAGE>
