Abstract:
A swash plate which is made of an iron-based or aluminum-based material and is used in a single-side compression type swash-plate compressor. A flame-sprayed copper-based alloy layer is formed on at least a sliding surface with a first shoe in a compression space side. The flame-sprayed copper-based alloy layer contains in total, by weight percentage, not less than 0.5% and not more than 50% of one or more kinds selected from not more than 40% of lead, not more than 30% of tin, not more than 0.5% of phosphorus, not more than 15% of aluminum, not more than 10% of silver, not more than 5% of silicon, not more than 5% of manganese, not more than 5% of chromium, not more than 20% of nickel, and not more than 30% of zinc and the balance essentially copper and impurities. Electrolytic plating, electroless plating, lubricant coating, phophatizing or hardening is applied on at least a second sliding surface with a second shoe in the side opposite to the compression space.
Abstract:
In a piston pump for pumping liquid carbon dioxide at a temperature below 30 degrees Fahrenheit and pressures at least as high as 7500 psi, the volume leaving the pump is determined by measuring only pressure or other parameter related to flow and movement of the plunger. The position of the piston is measured and the resulting displacement is integrated to determine volume of fluid pumped.
Abstract:
To supply supercritical fluid to an automatic supercritical fluid extractor and collect extract from the extractor, sample holding cartridges are lifted one by one in series by an elevator plug into a pressure chamber. An inlet at the top of the cartridge engages a pressure vessel inlet for the extractant so that extractant flows into the cartridge and into the space between the cartridge and inner walls of the pressure chamber. The outlets from the cartridge and pressure vessel communicate with the collector and exhaust through passageways in the plug. The plug has cleaning ports for cleaning seals and the outlet from the cartridge flows past the seals. The collector lifts vials into place and can precool the collection solvent, and later as part of the collection procedure, heat and pressurize the collector.
Abstract:
To avoid deposits on the restrictor that channels extractant into a collector, a heated capillary tube pressure release restrictor, has a thermally insulated outlet end in a collecting trap substantially colder than the capillary tube. The restrictor is heated between the insulation and the capillary tube by Joulean heating. The solvent in the trap is at a pressure of 5 to 200 psi above atmospheric pressure. The thermal resistance of the insulation is selected to reduce the heat added to the extractant to a minimum and yet cause the temperature of the extractant to be in a range within which it is sufficiently hot so it does not freeze when added to the collection solvent but not so hot as to reduce partitioning of the extract and extractant before the extractant leaves the collection solvent. It has a thermal conductivity no greater than 60 BTU's per hour, per square foot, per inch for a one degree Fahrenheit difference.
Abstract:
This invention pertains to the use of tin oxide as a corrosion resistant erial for preventing or inhibiting high temperature corrosion by molten sulfate-vanadate deposits and gaseous sulfur trioxide formed in engines or other high temperature apparatus which burn materials containing sodium, sulfur, and vanadium.
Abstract:
A cost saving method for protecting an engine element against operation galling and corrosion is disclosed. The element, particularly a piston, is cast of aluminum and cleaned free of dirt and organic matter. A warm stream of an aqueous solution containing a protective metal agent is directed onto a selected zone of the element. The agent consists essentially of potassium stannate and the zone is preferably the middle region of a piston skirt extending from the upper skirt periphery to lower skirt extremity (tail). The stream is maintained as a laminar flow as it traverses the selected zone. An ultra-thin protective coating is adherently deposited on the zone of the piston.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent leakage from a fastening member, by fastening a fastening part by the fastening member composed of a bolt and a gasket plated with a zincate bath, in a gas compressor. SOLUTION: This gas compressor has a housing 10 having a storage space inside, by fastening a case 11 and a front head 12 by a first fastening member 80, and a compressor body 60 stored in the storage space, fastened to the housing 10 by a second fastening member 70 and compressing gas. The second fastening member 70 is formed of the fastening member formed by combining the bolt 71 plated by the zincate bath and the copper material gasket 72 plated with tin.
