Abstract:
System for monitoring a reciprocating compressor, comprising a unit for measuring parameters relating to the operating state of the compressor, a processing unit for comparing the values of these measured parameters with critical values contained in a database associated with the said processing unit. This processing unit sends a signal determined by a match between the measured values and the critical values; this signal represents an anomaly in the operating state of the compressor.
Abstract:
A method for detection of a leak in a fluid affected component of a piston machine includes obtaining a vibration signal from a vibration sensor disposed proximate to at least one valve block of the piston machine. The vibration signal includes vibration generated by valves in the valve block. The method further includes presenting the obtained vibration signal for analysis by at least one of a human or a computer, analyzing the obtained vibration signal with respect to revealing a malfunction related to a fluid affected component of the piston machine, and selecting the obtained vibration signal emitted from the valve block during the closed periods of the valves for presentation.
Abstract:
A two (or more) piston pump system (10) is provided with both pumps (12) being crank (14) driven. The system does not have a mechanical camshaft, but a software algorithm, which acts like one in controller (20). The algorithm will LEARN and create a unique speed profile, which will mimic the mechanical camshaft. For practical purposes the speed profile of output gear is called Cam profile with software acting as an imaginary camshaft. The algorithm utilizes Crank Angle Estimation, Learn Curve Generation, Smoothing and Advance Timing Calculation.
Abstract:
A variable frequency control module includes a temperature detecting unit outputting a detecting signal corresponding to ambient temperature detected thereby, an operating unit operable so as to output an input signal corresponding to a target temperature, and a processing unit receiving the detecting signal and the input signal from the temperature detecting unit and the operating unit., and outputting a control signal corresponding to a difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature based on the detecting signal and the input signal. An encoding unit receives the control signal from the processing unit, encodes the control signal into an encoded signal, and outputs the encoded signal to a frequency converting unit that outputs a driving signal having a frequency corresponding to the encoded signal to an AC compressor so that an AC compressor is operated at a rotary speed based on the driving signal.

The invention relates to a pump, especially a power-assisted steering pump, comprising a current regulating valve, the current regulating valve comprising a hydraulic resistance, such as a main throttle and a regulating piston, whereby the main throttle can optionally be a regulating pin and an annular orifice.
Abstract:
Air-demand-controlled compressor arrangement, particularly for commercial vehicles, includes a motor unit for generating a rotating movement which, by way of an interposed rotational-speed-transmitting transmission unit, drives a compressor unit for generating compressed air from ambient air. A control unit triggers the generating of compressed air in the case of a compressed-air demand. The transmission unit is constructed in the manner of a transmission whose rotational speed can be varied, and the control unit interacts with the transmission unit in order to adapt the rotational speed of the transmission unit corresponding to the compressed-air demand.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a unit for an electronically controlled brake system including a motor (2) that drives a pump (21) by way of a shaft (3, 4), said pump being arranged in a valve or pump block (1) and supplying hydraulic fluid into wheel brakes of the brake system. A controller unit (11) is provided on a side of the valve or pump block (1) opposite to the motor (2). The unit further includes at least one sensor (12, 13, 14) for sensing the rotational speed of the motor (2) or the shaft (3, 4). According to the invention, at least one sensor element (14) of the sensor (12, 13, 14) is arranged in the area of the controller unit (11) in order to reduce the mounting space required for the unit, lower the production costs and simplify signal transmission.
Abstract:
The invention provides control apparatus for use with a fluid displacement device, for example a compressor, the control apparatus comprising means (24) to detect the temperature of fluid being displaced by the device and means (11) to control the device independence upon the sensor temperature. Preferably there is also means (22) to sense the pressure of the fluid being displaced by the device, a combination of temperature signals and pressure signals being utilised to control the device. The invention enables very sophisticated monitoring and control to be carried out, for example utilising pre-selected temperature and pressure bands.
