A rocking piston vacuum pump or compressor may have a sound attenuation assembly. The sound attenuation assembly may comprise a sound attenuation chamber. The chamber may have a first silencer disposed therein with sound dampening foam disposed therein. A second silencer may be disposed in series relative to the first silencer and may be disposed externally of the sound attenuation chamber.

The present disclosure provides a pump body, a compressor, and a heat exchange apparatus. The pump body includes a cylinder assembly, a piston, a motion transmission structure, and a drive member. The cylinder assembly includes a cylinder. The piston is movably disposed in the cylinder. The drive member is connected to the piston through the motion transmission structure. An outer peripheral wall of the piston has a rail groove connected end to end in a circumferential direction, and the cylinder has a guide structure extending into the rail groove; or an inner surface of the cylinder has a rail groove connected end to end in the circumferential direction, and the piston has a guide structure extending into the rail groove. So that through driving of the piston by the drive member, the piston is capable of rotating relative to the cylinder while reciprocating along a rotating axis of the piston.

A cylinder block for a compressor includes: a shaft support configured to support a rotary shaft of an outer rotor type motor; a first support that is arranged radially outward of the shaft support and that extends along a circumferential direction about a center of the shaft support; a second support that is arranged radially outward of the first support and that extends along the circumferential direction about the center of the shaft support; a third support that connects the first support to the second support; a cylinder portion that defines a cylindrical inner space at a position radially away from the center of the shaft support; and a noise chamber defined at at least one side of the cylinder portion.

A reciprocating compressor includes a piston slidably mounted within a compression chamber and defining a suction port for receiving a flow of gas. A flex mount is mechanically coupled to the piston and has an inner surface that defines a suction cavity. A suction muffler is positioned at least partially within the suction cavity and includes an inlet tube extending along the axial direction within the suction cavity and defining an inlet passageway configured to receive the flow of gas and a plurality of chamber plates that extend along the radial direction from an outer surface of the inlet tube, the plurality of chamber plates and the flex mount defining a plurality of resonance chambers to reduce compressor noise.

The discharge valve arrangement (17) includes a valve plate (18) including a discharge passage (22) and a valve seat (23) surrounding the discharge passage (22); a valve housing (24) being secured to the valve plate (18) and including a bottom portion (25) facing away from the valve plate (18), a sidewall (26) extending from the bottom portion (25) and towards the valve plate (18), and a discharge opening (28) formed in the sidewall (26); a valve member (31) displaceable between a closed position in which the valve member (31) closes the discharge passage (22) and an open position in which the valve member (31) opens the discharge passage (22). The valve housing (24) includes a gas damping chamber defined by the bottom portion (25) and the sidewall (26) and being configured to accommodate the valve member (31) in the open position; and an exhaust opening (37) formed in the bottom portion (25) and emerging in the gas damping chamber.

A compressor control apparatus and method differently compensate for a duty ratio of a control signal during a period in which the compressor performs a compression stroke and a period in which the compressor performs a suction stroke, respectively, to generate the control signal for controlling a compressor.

A compressor assembly becomes a compressor as a result of a terminal guard being attached. The compressor assembly includes a body, and a terminal guard mounting seat attached to an outer surface of the body. The terminal guard is attachable to the terminal guard mounting seat. A compressor includes the compressor assembly and the terminal guard. The compressor can be manufactured by attaching the terminal guard mounting seat to the outer surface, administering metal spraying to at least part of the outer surface after attaching the terminal guard mounting seat, and attaching the terminal guard to the terminal guard mounting seat after the administering metal spraying.

A progressive sealing system for a reciprocating machine includes a pressure breaker having a first seal, and one or more additional seals between the pressure breaker and an end plate. One or more seal housings hold the seals between the first seal and the end plate. The end plate couples the progressive sealing system to a housing of a cylinder of the reciprocating machine such that a surface of the first seal faces a chamber of the cylinder. A housing for the second one of the seals includes a bore having an inner surface. The inner surface of the bore of the second seal housing and an outer surface of a rod of the reciprocating machine define an annular space when the rod is received in the bore. The packing case includes an expansion chamber adjoining the annular space.

A motor and pumping system which provides for high volume, low pressure, low cost, and ease of assembly as a breathing air supply such as for a submerged diver. The integration of the necessary elements gives rise to a unique ability to eliminate costly and complex motor bearings and simplify the motor design by reducing number of magnetic poles and electrical control elements which would traditionally be required to control the multiple poles of an electromechanical machine.

A gas booster for increasing a pressure of a gas includes a gas cylinder and a drive. The gas cylinder defines a chamber having an inlet and an outlet. A piston is actuatable within the gas cylinder to draw gas into the chamber through the inlet at a first pressure and to push the gas out of the chamber through the outlet at a second pressure that is higher than the first pressure. The drive includes an electric motor coupled to the piston of the gas cylinder by a mechanical connection to actuate the piston.
