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 is comprised of 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 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:
The present invention provides a single screw compressor wherein a gap between a screw rotor and a casing can be easily adjusted. A single screw compressor (1) comprises a screw rotor (2) and a casing (3), which houses the screw rotor (2). The outer circumferential surface of the screw rotor (2) has a plurality of helical grooves (6). The screw rotor (2) is a tapered rotor whose outer diameter increases from an inlet side toward a discharge side. The casing (3) comprises an outer tube member (21), which has a circular inner hole, and an inner tube member (22). The inner tube member (22) is fixed to the interior of the outer tube member (21). The inner tube member (22) has a tapered inner surface that opposes the tapered outer circumferential surface of the screw rotor (2).
Abstract:
A dry vacuum pump comprises a stator component and at least one rotor component. To improve the tolerance of the pump to corrosive gases passing through the pump, the stator component and/or said at least one rotor component are formed from silicon-molybdenum (SiMo) ductile iron.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor includes a scroll member having a base and a generally spiral wrap that extends from the base to define a portion of a compression chamber. The scroll member is made of a cast iron material comprising a microstructure having graphite nodules.

Abstract:
A rotary-piston internal combustion engine (E1) has an output shaft (1); a rotor (2); a housing (4); an annular operation chamber (5) that is formed by the rotor and the housing, on at least one side of the rotor in the direction of the axis of the output shaft, the annular operation chamber (5) forming an intake operation chamber, a compression operation chamber, a combustion operation chamber, and an exhaust operation chamber; a single pressure applying/pressure receiving member (6) that is provided on the rotor and partitions the annular operation chamber; two operation-chamber partitioning members (7, 8) provided on the housing and partition the annular operation chamber; urging mechanisms that individually urge the operation-chamber partition members toward their advanced positions; an intake port (11); an exhaust port (12); and a fuel injector (14). The pressure applying/pressure receiving member (6) is constructed from a circular arc-shaped partitioning member having first and second slope surfaces. The operation-chamber partitioning members (7, 8) are each constructed from a reciprocating partitioning member that advances and retreats in the direction in parallel with the axis of the output shaft.
Abstract:
A scroll type apparatus for fluid displacement is disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus (10) includes an adjustment mechanism (88) capable of being adjusted after assembly of the apparatus to close an axial gap between scroll members (14, 42) and account for manufacturing tolerances in apparatus components. In another embodiment, the apparatus includes an orbital scroll (42) of two portions (44, 46), with a supporting portion (44) surrounding an eccentric bearing (34) of higher density than that of a scroll portion (46). The center of mass of the orbital scroll is thus moved towards the eccentric bearing to reduce torquing of the scroll as it orbits. In a further embodiment, the apparatus includes n orbital scroll (42) having two portions, a supporting portion (44) surrounding an eccentric bearing (34) having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than that of scroll portion (46), to reduce thermal expansion of the supporting portion, reducing misalignment of the orbital scroll on the eccentric bearing.
