A water pump for a marine engine includes a cap covering an internal cavity of the pump's housing when the pump is operating. The cap functions as a tool to remove a damaged or worn impeller from inside the internal cavity. A threaded hub of the cap engages internal threads of the impeller to assist a user in removing the impeller for replacement. A cap lock ring threaded onto the pump housing retains the cap over the internal cavity. A rotatable drive shaft has splines which mate with a splined portion of the impeller to rotate the impeller. The cap lock ring is disengaged from the housing and the cap removed to enable a person to use the threaded hub of the cap to remove the impeller.

This housing is a cylindrical housing including a bearing-member mounting portion provided at least one position on the inner circumferential surface, on which bearing-member mounting portion a bearing member is mounted; mounting legs provided at least two vertical positions on the outer circumferential surface; and chucking portions to be chucked by a chuck mechanism of a machining apparatus during machining, provided on the outer circumferential surface, at least three positions in the circumferential direction, corresponding to the position where the bearing-member mounting portion is provided.

A compressor is provided and may include a shell and a stator. The shell includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The stator may be attached to the shell at the inner surface via a first stake. The first stake may be formed by deforming a portion of the shell into the stator.

A conical member for a pump head of a liquid ring pump, the conical member including a body, the body defining a first body opening on a first end positioned to abut a first pump opening, a second body opening on the first end positioned to abut a second pump opening, and a port. The conical member further includes a radially outer lip arranged about the first end and positioned to abut a pump aperture. A sealing liquid introduction path is arranged to introduce sealing liquid to a working chamber, the sealing liquid introduction path arranged at least partially between the second body opening and an outlet, and a gas vent passage is arranged to vent gas from the working chamber, the gas vent passage arranged at least partially between the port and the first body opening.

Apparatus for housing a rotatable component and exchanging heat and methods for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The apparatus includes a first casing and a second casing spaced apart from the first casing and defining a gap therebetween. The apparatus also includes a cooling fluid manifold coupled to a source of a cooling fluid, and a stack of plates coupled to the first and second casings and extending therebetween to fill the gap. The first and second casings and the stack of plates define at least a portion of a pressurized containment area therein. Further, the stack of plates includes a bore in which the rotatable component is received and defines process fluid flowpaths configured to direct process fluid to and/or from the rotatable component. The stack of plates is in fluid communication with the cooling fluid manifold and transfers heat from the process fluid to the cooling fluid.

A compressor is provided and may include a shell having an inner surface and an outer surface and a bearing housing disposed within the shell and having an engagement surface opposing the inner surface. The engagement surface may include a first channel formed substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the shell and a second channel formed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shell and in communication with the first channel. The first channel and the second channel may receive a deformed portion of the shell therein to fix a position of the bearing housing relative to the shell.

The present invention relates to a rotor for a vacuum pump 150 having a roots pumping mechanism, the rotor comprising at least two hollow lobes 160, 162, 164, 166, each lobe having an outer wall 208 which defines a lobe profile, a hollow cavity 210 generally inward of the outer wall, and at least one strengthening rib 226 located in the cavity to resist stress on the lobes generated during rotation.

A mold for forging a scroll rotor capable of controlling material flow speed by adjusting a land section, a molding device applying same, and a method for manufacturing the mold. In the mold, a die includes an extrusion unit having a molding space therein and a spiral-shaped extrusion passage provided in the lower portion thereof so as to correspond to a wrap portion disposed in the scroll rotor. A punch is connected to the die to be in close contact with the inner circumference of the molding space and to be able to slide up and down. The lower portion has a shape corresponding to the upper surface of the flange portion of the scroll rotor and a boss portion. The extrusion passage has a land section in direct contact with the extrusion material. The height of a land of the land section varies along the spiral direction.

The disclosure relates to a screw pump (2) comprising: a casing (3) with an inlet (30), an outlet (31) and a flow chamber (32) between the inlet and the outlet; and at least two screws (4, 5, 6) housed in the flow chamber to 5 force a fluid flow through the flow chamber from the inlet to the outlet; wherein the casing (3) comprises a shell (33) within which an insert (34) defining the flow chamber is housed.
