A gerotor pump having an inner rotor and an outer rotor, which is also the rotor of an electric drive, having a housing and a flange which closes the housing with the motor compartment, the rotor being arranged on a shaft and sealing against the flange at a gap, wherein, in addition to the gap, there is at least one device with which at least a partial pressure compensation takes place between the suction region of the gerotor pump and the motor compartment of the gerotor pump.

A single-stage enthalpy enhancing rotary compressor and an air conditioner having same. The single-stage enthalpy enhancing rotary compressor includes: at least one single-stage cylinder, a rotator, an upper flange, and a lower flange. The rotator is arranged inside the cylinder and is rotatable, a compression chamber is formed between the rotator and an inner peripheral wall of the cylinder, a vapor injection opening is defined in at least one of the upper flange the lower flange, and the vapor injection opening is configured to supply gas outside the compressor to the compression chamber directly. According to the present disclosure, two-stage compression is realized without adding an extra cylinder, thereby effectively enhancing a circulation of refrigerant, improving cooling performance of the air conditioner under high environmental temperatures.

A scroll device has a fixed scroll, and orbiting scroll, and at least an integrated cooling loop configured to receive coolant to cool the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll. A flexible conduit is provided that curves radially around an orbital axis of the orbiting scroll to transfer coolant along integrated cooling loop. The integrated cooling loop separates coolant used to cool the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll from the involutes of the scroll device providing clean operation of the scroll device. The integrated cooling loop may be defined by the flexible conduit, one or more cooling chambers, and/or one or more cooling passageways.

A compressor includes a compression mechanism, a motor, a drive shaft, and a motor cooler. The compressor is configured to compress a working fluid. The motor dives the compression mechanism and is housed within a motor housing. The drive shaft is engaged with the motor and the compression mechanism and is configured to drive operation of the compression mechanism. The motor cooler is disposed adjacent the motor and is configured to pump a cooling working fluid around the motor. The motor cooler includes a pump that pumps the cooling working fluid into the motor housing based on a rotational speed of the drive shaft.

Aspects of the present invention relate to a vacuum system. The vacuum system includes a vacuum pump; and a heat exchanger for receiving a heat transfer fluid. The heat transfer fluid comprising a gas. The heat exchanger is thermally coupled to the vacuum pump and is operable to absorb thermal energy from the vacuum pump. Aspects of the present invention also relate to a method of operating a vacuum system; and a controller for controlling operation of a vacuum system.

A compressor includes a tubular shape casing, a compression mechanism adjacent one end of the casing in the casing, a motor arranged adjacent another end of the casing in the casing, a suction pipe opening between the compression mechanism and the motor, a gas flow path formed between the motor and an inner peripheral surface of the casing, and a gas guide facing an open end of the suction pipe. The gas flow path allows internal regions of the casing adjacent axial ends of the motor to communicate with each other. The gas guide includes a first flow path configured to guide a portion of a gas that has passed through the suction pipe toward the compression mechanism, and a second flow path configured to guide a remaining portion of the gas that has passed through the suction pipe toward the gas flow path.

A scroll device is disclosed having a housing, a motor having a shaft, an orbiting scroll connected to the shaft for moving the orbiting scroll, a fixed scroll mated to the orbiting scroll, an idler shaft for aligning the orbiting scroll and the fixed scroll, an inlet formed in the housing and/or the fixed scroll for receiving a cooling liquid, and a channel formed in the idler shaft for receiving the cooling liquid.

The water-conserving liquid ring vacuum pump system receives the output from a water ring vacuum pump, removes the air and contaminants from the water, and returns the clean water to the make-up water port on the pump, thereby saving most of the water that would normally be discarded. Friction in the pump also heats the water, so the system is designed to cool the water as well.
