Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of compressors, and in particular, to a compressor with an oil equalizing pipe, a parallel compressor set, and an oil equalizing method.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A compressor is a fluid machine that lifts a low-pressure gas into a high-pressure gas, and is the heart of a refrigeration system. The compressors connected in parallel in the refrigeration systems bring the advantages that it is convenient to adjust capacity, easy to maintain by single machine shutdown, low in cost and the like, and thus are widely used. Due to manufacturing differences of compressors, or different states of running or shutdown of different compressors, the distribution of oil output or oil return of the compressors is uneven, in this way, the oil masses of some compressors are increased and the oil masses of the other compressors are decreased after running, the compressors with too small oil masses may be damaged due to insufficient lubrication, so an oil balance design should be performed when the compressors are connected in parallel.

At present, the common practice for oil balance is to use an oil balance pipe to connect the oil sumps of two compressors. Although this method can play a role in oil balance to certain extent, it is easy to cause oil transfer between the two compressors due to the pressure difference between the compressors, resulting in imbalanced oil levels.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
