Abstract:
A swash plate type compressor (10) having a cylinder block (12, 14) with cylinder bores (18) disposed parallel to the axis of the cylinder block. A rotary shaft (22) rotatably mounted within the cylinder block carries an aluminium swash plate (20). The swash plate (20) is fixed in the rotary shaft (22) and has two facial surfaces (26) and an end surface (28). The swash plate (20) has a coating layer of at least 0.2 wt.% cobalt and the balance being tin. A piston (16) reciprocally fitted within the cylinder bore (18) contains shoes (24) which slideably intervene between the piston (16) and the swash plate facial surfaces (26). The shoes (24) transfer the rotational motion of the swash plate (20) to the linear motion of the piston (16). The coated surfaces (26) of the swash plate (20) are in slidable contact with the shoes (24). The coating on the swash plate (20) permits the use of low silicon alloy aluminium without the need of metal plating or high finish polishing.
Abstract:
A single-side compression type swash-plate compressor wherein, in order to improve the sliding contact performance on the compression side of the iron or aluminum material used therein, at least that plane of a swash plate (14) which is in sliding contact with a shoe (15b) on the compression space side is coated with a sprayed coating layer comprising a copper alloy containing 0.5-50 % of at least one member selected from the group consisting of at most 40 % lead, at most 30 % tin, at most 0.5 % phosphorus, at most 15 % aluminum, at most 10 % silver, at most 5 % silicon, at most 5 % manganese, at most 5 % chromium, at most 20 % nickel and at most 30 % zinc, and the balance consisting substantially by copper and impurities, while at least that plane of the swash plate (14) which is in sliding contact with a shoe (15a) on the side opposite to the compression space is subjected to electrolytic plating, nonelectrolytic plating, lubricant coating, phosphate coating, or hardening.
Abstract:
To collect analyte in a supercritical fluid extraction process, the extractant flows to a collection container (130) under pressure. In one embodiment, the collection container (130) contains collection solvent (144) through which the extractant flows to partition analyte. The extractant adds to the liquid and when the collection solvent-extractant mixture rises to a heating zone, the extractant vaporizes selectively since its vapor pressure is higher than the vapor pressure of the collection solvent (144). When its pressure exceeds a preset valve (148) pressure it is vented so that extractant continually leaves the collection container (130). After the extraction is complete, the analyte is concentrated in the collection solvent (144). In another embodiment, the collection vessel includes a solid material on which the analyte collects. It is removed under pressure by a solvent that is concentrated under pressure.
Abstract:
To avoid deposits on the restrictor that channels extractant into a collector (1901), a heated capillary tube (1900) pressure release restrictor has a thermally insulated outlet end in a collecting trap (1908) substantially colder than the capillary tube (1900). The restrictor is heated between the insulation (1906) and the capillary tube (1908) by Joulean heating. The solvent in the trap (1908) is at a pressure of 5 to 200 psi above atmospheric pressure. The thermal resistance of the insulation (1906) is selected to reduce the heat added to the extractant to a minimum, to keep the extractant from freezing, and to reduce partitioning of the extract and extractant. 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:
A shoe (15) arranged between a swash plate and a piston (10) of a swash plate type compressor for transmitting the rotating motion of the swash plate as a reciprocating movement to the piston (10), and a method for manufacturing the same. The shoe (15) is a single body having a hemispherical portion which slidably contacts a spherical recess formed on the piston, (10) and a planar end face (15b) which slidably contacts the end face of the swash plate. A method for manufacturing such a shoe (15) includes compressing a cylindrical blank in its axial direction and thereby plastically deforming one end of the blank against the inner surface of a hemispherical recess (10b) of a die, and plastically deforming the other end of the blank in a state where only the end face is restrained. According to this method a shoe (15) which incorporates a flank between the hemispherical portion making sliding contact with the recess (10b) of the piston (10) and the bottom end face (15b) making sliding contact with the swash plate can be readily manufactured. Another preferred embodiment of the method includes the steps of forming a hole having a predetermined size on the end face of the cylindrical portion of the blank beforehand and reducing the diameter of the hole opening by pressing and deforming the end face of the cylindrical portion so that the hemispherical portion is thus formed, or includes the steps of cutting the periphery of the end face of the cylindrical portion of the blank into a conical shape beforehand, and then pressing and deforming the conical portion of the blank thereby forming a hemispherical portion. This method can prevent the application of a local high load to the blank, and decrease the amount of material that must flow.
