A valve plate assembly for a compressor according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a valve plate and a suction valve retainer. The valve plate is configured to separate suction-pressure working fluid entering a cylinder of the compressor from discharge-pressure working fluid exiting the cylinder of the compressor, the valve plate defining a discharge valve seat. The suction valve retainer is configured to retain a suction valve within a suction valve seat disposed about a central longitudinal axis of the cylinder and to extend radially outward from the central longitudinal axis of the cylinder without extending beyond a suction passage of the compressor.

A drive system for a pump includes a housing defining an internal pressure chamber, a working fluid disposed within and charging the internal pressure chamber, and a reciprocating member disposed within the internal pressure chamber. A fluid displacement component has first and second surfaces. The first surface is configured to contact the working fluid and the second surface is configured to contact the process fluid. The area of the first surface is greater than the area of the second surface. A pull extends between and connects the reciprocating member and the fluid displacement component. The pull mechanically transfers a pulling force from the reciprocating member to the fluid displacement component.

In a compressor for discharging a medium, in particular tire sealant that is to be discharged from a container into a tire, wherein a motor (1) of the compressor (P) drives a step-up transmission wheel (3, 3.1) for moving at least one piston (6-6.6) in a compression chamber (7), the step-up transmission wheel (3, 3.1) is intended to be provided only partially on its circumference with a toothing (20) and/or to consist of two toothed wheels (11, 12) lying on each other.

A hermetic compressor may include a crankshaft having an input shaft rotatably supported on the cast-iron block along the crankshaft axis and connected to the electric motor rotary output, and an eccentric crankpin orbitally rotating about the axis as the crankshaft is rotated. A pair of opposed pistons may lie on the common plane. Each piston may be pivotably connected to one of the connecting rod piston ends to drive the pistons in an oscillatory manner within the cylinders as the crankshaft rotates. The piston and cylinder pairs may cause fluid to be pumped from the inlet port to the outlet port as the piston oscillates varying the volume of the enclosed space bound by the piston and the cylinder pairs.

A cylinder head assembly for a compressor according to the present disclosure includes a valve plate and a cylinder head. The valve plate is configured to mount to a mounting surface of the compressor. The valve plate includes a suction chamber, a suction passage providing fluid communication between the suction chamber and a cylinder of the compressor, a suction valve seat through which the suction passage extends, and a discharge passage extending through the valve plate and defined by a discharge valve seat. The cylinder head at least partially covers the valve plate and defines a discharge chamber that is in selective fluid communication with the cylinder via the discharge passage. The cylinder head and the valve plate are formed together as a unitary body.

The disclosure discloses a method and a device for controlling cylinder switching of a compressor, a unit and an air conditioning system. The method includes: determining whether the compressor needs to perform cylinder switching; if so, adjusting current operating frequency according to a system pressure difference so that both the adjusted operating frequency and the system pressure difference meet a cylinder switching condition of the compressor; and controlling the compressor to perform cylinder switching. At the moment, the system pressure difference and the operation frequency are stable, and would not interfere the compressor's maintaining of the single-cylinder or double-cylinder operation state, which guarantees the energy efficiency of the unit where the compressor is located, and improves the use experience of a user.

A multi-cylinder reciprocating compressor, especially suitable for carbon dioxide frigorific circuits, wherein the high-pressure chambers of the heads are connected via an external manifold, comprising a high-pressure cock which, in co-operation with the casing, defines a channel which environmental air flows through to remove heat.

A cooling block for cooling pistons of a multi-cylinder air compressor is disclosed. The cooling block may comprise a body including a first end and a second end on opposing sides of the body. The cooling block may further comprise a first cooling nozzle near the first end, and a second cooling nozzle near the second end. The first cooling nozzle and the second cooling nozzle may each include an orifice through which coolant is sprayed into a crankcase of the multi-cylinder air compressor.
