It is possible to enhance sealing performance to seal the inverter housing by using this gasket (30). A motor-driven compressor using this gasket (30) enhances vibration prevention.

A motor-driven compressor includes a compression unit, an electric motor, a motor controller, a housing, and a connector. The motor controller includes a circuit board. The housing includes an inverter accommodation chamber, and the inverter accommodation chamber accommodates the motor controller. The connector is accommodated in the inverter accommodation chamber and electrically connects the circuit board and a member located outside the inverter accommodation chamber. The connector includes one or more busbars and a case. The one or more busbars are electrically connected to the circuit board. The case is formed from a resin and accommodates the one or more busbars. The circuit board and the connector are fastened to the housing. The one or more busbars are allowed to move in the case when the circuit board vibrates.

A composition for sliding member includes a binder resin, a solid lubricant, and an epoxy modified silicone oil having an epoxy group at both ends or at one end thereof. A weight ratio of the binder resin and the epoxy modified silicone oil is 97:3 to 75:25.

An electrical inflator has a cylindrical shell, an electrical aeration pump, an illumination assembly, a cell base and a switch assembly. The cylindrical shell has a tube, a front cover and a rear cover. The electrical aeration pump is mounted in the tube near the front cover and has a gas outlet located in the tube. The illumination assembly is mounted in the tube towards the front cover. The cell base is mounted in the tube behind the electrical aeration pump. The cell base has at least one cell. The switch assembly is mounted in the tube and electrically connects to the cell base, the electrical aeration pump and the illumination assembly.

Provided is a motor rotor which, without changing an integral fastening structure relying on swage pins, increases resistance to the excessive excitation force of the motor rotor and which can easily prevent decreases in fastening strength; a motor that uses the motor rotor, and an electric compressor are also provided. This motor rotor is provided with a cylindrical rotor core comprising multiple laminated magnetic steel sheets, end plates and balance weights laminated on both ends of the rotor core, and multiple headed swage pins which are inserted from one side and which integrally fasten the rotor core, the end plates and the balance weights. The material of the balance weight arranged to the head of the swage pin is harder than that of the swage pin, and the material of the balance weight arranged to the swage part of the swage pin is softer than that of the swage pin.

Acoustic attenuating device for compressors which includes a hollow body having at least one input port, at least one output channel, at least one output port disposed in the at least one output channel, an intermediate body dividing the hollow body into two acoustic chambers, and a connection channel communicating the two acoustic chambers. Said connection channel includes two sub-channels, wherein one of the two sub-channels accommodates, at least partially, the output channel and the other one of the two sub-channels conforms fluid communication between the two acoustic chambers. The acoustic attenuating device further includes at least one blocker disposed between the outer side of the output channel and the inner side of the sub-channel which accommodates the output channel, wherein said blocker is capable of precluding flow between the two acoustic chambers, thereby reducing the amount of lubricating oil which flows out from the compressor into the cooling system.

A system for compressing gas from a wellbore that uses a single reciprocating compressor unit to boost pressure of the gas to an intermediate stage, and from the intermediate stage to a final stage. The final stage is at a destination pressure for distribution. Between the intermediate and final stages the gas is treated to remove water and higher molecular weight hydrocarbons so that the gas pressurized to the final stage is compressed natural gas. The reciprocating compressor is made up of a series of throw assemblies that are all driven by a single shaft. Each throw assembly includes a cylinder with a piston that reciprocates within the cylinder to compress and pressurize the fluid therein. The reciprocating compressor can be a non-lube design thereby eliminating lube oil contamination of downstream compressed natural gas or higher molecular weight hydrocarbons.

A hermetic compressor includes a closed vessel for storing lubricating oil, an electric-driving element, and a compressing element driven by the electric-driving element. The compressing element includes a cylinder block forming a compression chamber, a piton that reciprocates inside the compression chamber, and an oiling device for supplying the lubricating oil to an outer circumference of the piston. A first oil groove is concavely formed on the outer circumference of the piston, and a second oil groove is concavely formed on a side opposite to the compression chamber relative to the first oil groove. The second oil groove has a spatial volume same or greater than that of the first oil groove. An expanded clearance portion is provided such that a clearance between the piston and the cylindrical hole portion broadens from a top dead point to a bottom dead point.

Provided is a compressor in which vibration resistance against an excitation force due to drive of a linear motor is improved. A linear compressor 1 includes: a mover 101 and a stator 102 which relatively move in a first direction and a second direction that is an opposite direction to the first direction; and an inverter portion 300 which includes a printed circuit board 305 and circuit elements 302 and 304 connected to the printed circuit board 305 through connection lead lines 306 extending from the printed circuit board 305, wherein the printed circuit board 305 is installed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
