Abstract:
A liquid ring pump is provided that includes an annular housing having an inner surface forming a housing cavity. The annular housing is filled with an operating fluid during operation of the pump. The operating fluid forms an eccentric liquid ring in the annular housing during operation of the pump. A rotor is disposed in the housing cavity and includes a plurality of rotor blades. A shaft extends into the annular housing into the housing cavity. The plurality of rotor blades extend radially outward from the shaft toward the inner surface of the annular housing. A liner formed from a corrosion resistant material is disposed substantially flush with at least a portion of the annular housing inner surface opposite a plurality of rotor blade ends.

The nodular graphite cast iron includes 3.4 wt % to 3.9 wt % of carbon (C), 2.0 wt % to 3.0 wt % of silicon (Si), 0.3 wt % to 1.0 wt % of manganese (Mn), 0.1 wt % to 1.0 wt % of chromium (Cr), 0.04 wt % to 0.15 wt % of titanium (Ti), less than 0.08 w% of phosphorus (P), less than 0.025 wt % of sulphur (S), 0.03 wt % to 0.05 wt % of magnesium (Mg), 0.02 wt % to 0.04 wt % of rare earth resource, iron (Fe) and impurities as the remnants, and includes a bainite matrix structure, nodular graphite, and 15 vol % to 35 vol % of carbide.
Abstract:
A pump shaft (10; 12) and a pump member (16; 18) mountable on the shaft for rotation with the shaft have respective contact surfaces that contact when the pump member is mounted on the shaft. At least one of the contact surfaces is formed such that corrosion products of the surface are substantially incompatible with the other contact surface so that joining of the shaft and pump member at the contact surfaces by corrosion is substantially prevented. The pump shaft and pump member may be parts of a dry pump.
Abstract:
A refrigerant compressor includes a first layer (24) composed of a single layer of chromium, a second layer (25) composed of an alloy layer of chromium and tungsten carbide, a third layer (26) composed of an amorphous carbon layer containing at least one of tungsten and tungsten carbide, and a fourth layer (27) composed of an amorphous carbon layer containing carbon and hydrogen without metals, which are sequentially formed on a surface of a sliding member (13b) of a compression mechanism formed of tool steel. The second layer (25) is formed to have a chromium content higher on a side of the first layer (24) than a side of the third layer (26), and have a tungsten carbide content higher on the side of the third layer (26) than the side of the first layer (24). In addition, the third layer (26) is formed to have a tungsten content or a tungsten carbide content higher on a side of the second layer (25) than a side of the fourth layer (27).
Abstract:
A vacuum pump for producing a vacuum in a space which is to be evacuated comprises a housing (10) having a cylindrical inner space (22). An expeller (26) is arranged eccentrically in the inner space (22). A helical sealing element (34) is provided between the expeller (26) and an inner wall (38) of the housing (10) for forming at least one crescent-shaped conveying space. The housing (10) or the expeller (26) are connected to a drive device (44) for producing a relative rotary movement between the housing (10) and the expeller (26). The vacuum pump is configured as a dry-running vacuum pump.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a hermetic or open compressor for hydrocarbon refrigerant having high reliability. According to the present invention, in the compressor using hydrocarbon as refrigerant, synthetic oil such as polyalkylene glycol oil, ester oil or ether oil is used as freezer oil. Sliding member of the compressor includes both a portion made of aluminum material and a portion made of iron material. Therefore, it is possible to realize a compressor having excellent wear resistance and high reliability.
Abstract:
A rotary compressor for compressing a working fluid includes a housing having an oil sump. A stationary shaft extends into the housing and includes a longitudinal passage. The longitudinal passage has an oil inlet in fluid communication with the oil sump. A working fluid inlet receives the working fluid. A motor has a stator and a rotor. The rotor is rotatably mounted on the shaft within the housing and includes an internal compression chamber in fluid communication with the longitudinal passage. A roller is rotatably mounted on the shaft and eccentrically disposed within the compression chamber. The roller is coupled to the rotor such that rotation of the rotor rotates the roller and thereby compresses the working fluid within the compression chamber.
Abstract:
An object of this invention is to prevent drop of life of a bearing by an axial force when using a pump as a compressor. In a vacuum pump 1 compressing and discharging gas in a direction of a rotor axis by rotation of screw rotors 3, 4 engaged together which are supported rotatably in a casing 2, balance pistons 13, 14 are disposed on shafts 6, 7 of said screw rotors at inlet side of said casing. The balance pistons separate a receiving section 17 at area of the screw rotor and a pressurizing section 16 at area of the balance piston, and a thrust force of the screw rotors at a pressurizing condition is canceled by acting the discharge pressure in the pressurizing section. The pump is used as a compressor when the discharge pressure is acted on the balance pistons 13, 14. When the pump is used as a vacuum pump, air at discharge side is sucked as cool air through a cooler toward a place near to the discharge side of the receiving section 17 at area of the screw rotor.
Abstract:
A compressor has a housing assembly and at least one rotor held by the housing assembly for rotation about a rotor axis. The rotor has a first face and a first housing element has a second face in facing spaced-apart relation to the first face of the rotor. The housing has a coating on the second face and a plurality of inserts protruding from the second face into the coating.
