Abstract:
A piston that moves reciprocally in the cylinder of an internal combustion engine and has a piston skirt that makes sliding contact with the inner wall of the cylinder. Solid lubrication parts are provided on the sliding-contact surface of the piston skirt. The solid lubrication parts include at least one type of silver, silver alloy, copper, or copper alloy, and at least one type of carbon material or carbide ceramics.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor which is capable of preventing thermal damage to an O-ring and has a filter arrangement structure with favorable installation work efficiency is provided. The compressor is configured such that an intake pipe (50) for drawing in a refrigerant gas through an external pipe (P) is securely joined to a steel compressor casing (10) by penetrating therethrough, the compressor casing housing a stationary scroll (22) and a swingable scroll (24); and the lower end part of the intake pipe is fitted into an intake portion (22K) with an O-ring (60) disposed therebetween, the intake portion being provided in the stationary scroll. The intake pipe is configured to have a steel iron pipe body (54) on the intake portion side and a copper pipe body (52) joined to the upper end part of the iron pipe body. The copper pipe body of the intake pipe is silver-brazed (13) to the compressor casing, and a filter (F) is installed in the intake pipe.
Abstract:
In a fluid transfer device (10) that includes a housing (12), a rotor (16) rotatably mounted in the housing (12) and having a bore (24) and at least one piston (30) slidingly mounted in the bore (24), a port plate (42) that includes a body portion (44) mountable in the housing (12) and formed from a first material and a wear layer (56) formed of a second material, different from the first material, attached to the body portion (44) and adapted to contact the rotor (16). Also a fluid transfer device (10) including such a port plate (42).
