Abstract

In a rolling piston type electric compressor (1), a supply path is formed that branches from a discharge path and enables supply of lubricating oil, which has been separated by an oil separator, to vanes (122, 151). The pressure of discharged refrigerant in a discharge pressure region (3A) is applied to the outer peripheral surfaces of cylinders (125, 152). Holes (128, 157) extending in a direction (Y) intersecting a first direction (Z) and communicating with the vanes (122, 151) are formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the cylinders (125, 152). Elastic members (129, 158) for biasing the vanes (122, 151) toward a piston are disposed in the holes (128, 157). Since the holes (128, 157) are closed by sealing members (200, 201), the inside of the holes (128, 157) is isolated from the discharge pressure region (3A).

Abstract

A protruding part (60) that protrudes toward a seal member (50) is provided in a portion located between adjacent bolts in a cover outer peripheral part (33). The protruding part (60) presses the seal member (50) toward an end wall (13a) of a motor housing (13). Thus, sealing between the portion located between the adjacent bolts in the cover outer peripheral part (33) and the end wall (13a) of the motor housing (13) is improved. As a result, accumulation of moisture and/or salt water is prevented between the portion located between the adjacent bolts in the cover outer peripheral part (33) and the end wall (13a) of the motor housing (13). Therefore, moisture- and/or salt water-caused corrosion of the end wall (13a) of the motor housing (13) and a cover (30) is prevented.

Abstract

A centrifugal compressor (10) is provided with: a nozzle (73) that generates a swirling flow of air on the upstream side, in the air flow direction, of a gap (G1) between a stator (32) and a rotor (33); and a communication passage (80) that causes the swirling flow of air generated by the nozzle (73) to flow into the gap (G1). Thus, since the swirling flow of air generated by the nozzle (73) flows into the gap (G1) between the stator (32) and the rotor (33) through the communication passage (80), the swirling flow of air flowing into the gap (G1) assists the rotation of the rotor (33). As a result, the mechanical loss, so-called "windage loss", of the rotor (33) is less likely to occur. Therefore, temperature rise due to windage loss of air flowing in the gap (G1) is suppressed.

Abstract

In the present invention, a step-down mode includes a step-down delay phase mode in which, after a primary-side voltage is raised from a low level to a middle level, a secondary-side voltage is raised from the low level to a high level and, then, the primary-side voltage is raised from the middle level to the high level. The difference between a first time, at which the primary-side voltage is raised from the low level to the middle level, and a second time, at which the secondary-side voltage is raised from the low level to the high level, is a first phase difference. The difference between the second time and a third time, at which the primary-side voltage is raised from the middle level to the high level, is a second phase difference. In the step-down delay phase mode, a control unit (50) derives a combination which is a combination of the first phase difference and the second phase difference, with which a required power can be output, with which a reactor current flowing through the reactor (L) becomes greater than or equal to a reactor current threshold at the second time, and with which the reactor current becomes less than or equal to the reactor current threshold at the third time.

Abstract

When fuel is supplied to a fuel tank, an ECU (100) acquires the density (ρf) of a fuel (S10) and acquires the cetane number (Cn) of the fuel (S11). The ECU (100) calculates T50 (a distillation property) using a T50 calculation map on the basis of the density (ρf) and the cetane number (Cn) (S12). The distillation property of the fuel supplied to the fuel tank can thereby be accurately detected.
