The object of the invention is to increase the loading capacity of the bosses. To that end, the lower part (3) comprises cast-iron or steel gudgeon pin bosses (4) which are screwed at least to the lower part (3).
Abstract:
There are provided a highly durable and efficient refrigerating apparatus and a lubricating oil composition that uses an HFC type refrigerant and is still free from the problem of thermal hydrolysis of polyol-ester type oil and resulting generation of carboxylic acid and sludge so that the refrigerating apparatus and the lubricating oil composition may be used stably for a prolonged period of time. A lubricating oil composition according to the invention comprises as base oil components a polyol-ester type oil formed by reacting specific polyhydric alcohol with a fatty acid, to which tricresylphosphate and epoxy compound comprising glycidyl ether or carbodiimide are added at respective specific rates. A refrigerating apparatus according to the invention uses such a lubricating oil composition as refrigerator oil and comprises a sealed electric driving compressor whose sliding members are made of a material selected from iron type materials, composite materials of aluminum and carbon, iron type materials surface-treated with chromium nitride and ceramic materials.
Abstract:
A vane (14) for a vane compressor comprises an aluminium-based metal core (14 a ) and a cladding (14 b ) of ferrous metal provided on the surface of the core (14 a ). The vane (14) may be formed by joining a tube (14b) of ferrous metal onto the surface of the aluminium-based metal core (14a), by drawing or pressing.
Abstract:
Present day diesel engines having aluminum piston assemblies are limited to combustion chamber pressures of approximately 12,410 kPa (1,800 psi) whereas the desire is the increase such pressures up to the 15,170 kPa (2,200 psi) range. To reach such levels the instant piston assembly includes a steel piston member having an upper cylindrical portion defining a top surface, a depending tubular wall and an annular cooling recess having one or more machined surfaces or revolution about a central axis. The cooling recess is located beneath the top surface and juxtaposed to the top ring groove for removing heat away therefrom in use. The piston member is preferably forged and subsequently machined to precisely controllable dimensions. Moreover, the piston assembly is preferably of the articulated type and includes a forged aluminum piston skirt connected to the piston member through a common wrist pin.
Abstract:
Pistons for internal combustion engines are described. The pistons comprise a crown component (11) and a skirt component (12) wherein the crown component consists of an iron or nickel based alloy annular portion (13) having fitted directly therein a ceramic insert (14), the crown component being joined to the skirt component by an annular composite laminated member (24) of steel and aluminium alloy the steel of the laminated member being energy beam welded to the annular portion of the crown component and the aluminium alloy of the laminated member being energy beam welded to the skirt component there being after welding a sealed, hollow, annular chamber (31) disposed at the junction between the crown component and the skirt component. Embodiments are described having ceramic inserts of silicon nitride and including combustion bowls.

Abstract:
An article (10) includes a first section (12) extending from an outer periphery (14) to a predetermined surface (16) located inward from the outer periphery (14). The first section (12) comprises a nanostructured ferritic alloy. The article (10) includes a second section (18) extending from an inner periphery (20) to the predetermined surface (16) located outward from the inner periphery (20). The second section (18) comprises at least one other alloy different from the nanostructured ferritic alloy.
Abstract:
PROBLEMS Local stress concentration caused by rotational moment transmitted from a crankshaft is eased. MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS A crankshaft (6) and an mounting hole (5) have two main circular arc parts (11, 21) on the same circle; and two connecting parts (12, 22) for connecting the adjacent main circular arc parts (11, 21), and have a cross-sectional shape in which the connecting parts (12, 22) facing each other are substantially parallel. The connecting parts (22) of the mounting hole (5) are formed in the shape of a large circular arc which projects inward. The torque of the crankshaft (6) is transmitted to the mounting hole (5) in a state where the connecting parts (12) of the crankshaft (6) and the connecting parts (22) of the mounting hole (5) which are formed in the shape of a large circular arc come into line contact with each other; therefore, the value of any local stress generated in the mounting hole (5) can be reduced.
Abstract:
The friction bearing for hydraulic machine (5) comprising a surface in contact and sliding on the surface of the crank, the said surface is carried out on an element inserted (4) in ferrous material interposed between said crank (10) and the piston (9) or its connecting rod (8), there is also a layer inserted in anti-friction plastic material (3) anchored solidly on this by a layer in sintered metal (2), and has a layer of anti-friction plastic material with a minimum thickness (3) but which is slightly greater than the maximum dimension of the particles not captured by the filter of the hydraulic circuit where the hydraulic machine is inserted ; it also has the thickness of the element in ferrous material (1) of said bearing between 0.4 and 4 % of the sliding diameter on the hub (6) of the crank (10). The principal operation, standardization, and dimension reduction advantages, compared to the prior art, are also illustrated.
Abstract:
A piston (20) for an internal combustion engine includes an upper crown (22) and a lower crown (24) that are each fabricated using a same strong material, such as steel and fastened together using a plurality of fasteners (50). The piston (20) provides increased strength resulting in improved design flexibility and smaller sized engines that produce the same amount of power. Piston ring grooves (100, 102, 104) are also provided in either one or both of the upper and lower crowns (22, 24) which control piston combustion height. A deeper combustion bowl (72) is also available with the piston (20).
