A screw compressor having screw rotors for compressing a process gas, a pipe bend conducting compressed process gas towards a silencer. The pipe bend at an inlet-side portion comprises a first connecting piece fastening the pipe bend to a pressure port and on an outlet-side portion a second connecting piece for fastening the pipe bend to the silencer. The pipe bend has a flow channel between the connecting pieces defined by an inner wall and an insert that projects into the inlet-side portion of the pipe bend. An outer wall of the insert projecting into the flow channel of the pipe bend and a portion of the inner wall of the pipe bend enclosing this outer wall on the outside delimit a space acting as resonator, coupled to the flow channel of the pipe bend.

A reciprocating compressor is provided that may include a shell including a vibration absorbing member formed to be wound around an outer circumferential surface or an inner circumferential surface or stacked thereon, so that compressor vibration may be attenuated by frictional contact between the shell and the vibration absorbing member or between layers of the vibration absorbing member. Also a noise insulating layer may be formed between the shell and the vibration absorbing member or between the layers of the vibration absorbing member, so that a magnitude of noise may be reduced as vibration noise passes through the noise insulating layer, whereby vibration noise of the compressor, such as noise of a high frequency band, may be further attenuated by fine vibration.

The invention relates to a vacuum pump for a motor vehicle, comprising a pump housing surface, on which a noise reduction hood delimiting a sound damping volume is mounted. The invention is characterized in that a multi-functional decoupling element is located between the pump housing surface and the noise reduction hood, said element carrying out a sealing function and a valve function in addition to a sound decoupling function.

A compressor includes compression and drive mechanisms disposed in a casing having a cylindrical member. The compression mechanism includes a cylinder main body, an end surface member attached to the cylinder main body, a muffler main body attached to the end surface member, an intake hole communicating with the compression chamber and extending in a direction crossing the drive shaft, and a circular hole located radially outside the compression chamber and extending in a direction parallel to the drive shaft. The circular hole opens to a space inside the casing. At least a part of the circular hole is located within an area defined by extending the intake hole in a plan view. A method of producing a compressor includes inserting a positioning pin into the circular hole of the compression mechanism and pressing an inlet tube into the intake hole from outside of the cylindrical member.

A compressor may include a shell, a bearing housing, an orbiting scroll, and a non-orbiting scroll. The bearing housing is supported within the shell and includes a central body and a plurality of arms. Each arm extends radially outwardly from the central body and has a first aperture. The orbiting scroll is supported on the bearing housing. The non-orbiting scroll is meshingly engaged with the orbiting scroll and includes a plurality of second apertures. Each second aperture receives a plurality of bushings and a fastener. The fastener extends through the bushings and into a corresponding one of the first apertures in the bearing housing to rotatably secure the non-orbiting scroll relative to the bearing housing while allowing relative axial movement between the non-orbiting scroll and the bearing housing.

Disclosed are a sliding vane compressor and an exhaust structure thereof. The exhaust structure of the sliding vane compressor includes: an exhaust hole, the exhaust hole being formed in a flange of the sliding vane compressor and being in communication with a compression cavity of a cylinder of the sliding vane compressor; a guide channel, the guide channel being formed on the flange and penetrating through the flange; and an exhaust channel, the exhaust channel being formed on an eccentric circle of the sliding vane compressor, and the exhaust channel being used for communicating the compression cavity with the guide channel using the rotation of the eccentric circle. The sliding vane compressor and the exhaust structure thereof have a small exhaust loss, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption and the production and manufacturing costs of the sliding vane compressor.

A discharge chamber, into which refrigerant compressed by a compression mechanism, is discharged, is formed in an inside of a housing. A resonator is connected to an intermediate portion of a communication passage, which communicates between the discharge chamber and a discharge port of the housing. The resonator includes a resonance chamber and an inlet passage. The inlet passage has one end portion, which is connected to the intermediate portion of the communication passage, and another end portion, which is connected to the resonance chamber.

A Roots-type blower may include first and second meshed, lobed rotors disposed in first and second chambers of a housing. Each lobe may have first and second axially facing end surfaces defining a twist angle that may be a function, at least partially, of the number of lobes on each rotor. A blower housing may include a bearing plate that may include one or more internal pressure relief ports. A pressure relief port may be configured to relieve fluid pressure from a trapping area that may form between first and second meshed rotors.

An electrical motor vehicle vacuum pump arrangement includes a housing assembly, a pump apparatus arranged therein, a drive motor, and a sound dampener. The housing assembly includes an inlet and an outlet opening arrangement. The pump apparatus includes a pump rotor housing with an inlet- and an outlet-side face wall, and a pump rotor housing part arranged therebetween. The inlet- and the outlet-side face wall and the pump rotor housing part enclose a pump rotor chamber with a pump rotor arranged therein. The drive motor is arranged in the housing assembly. The drive motor includes a motor rotor and a motor stator. The sound damper includes a first and a second sound damping chamber, and a sound dampener element. The first sound damping chamber is connected to the pump rotor chamber and to the second sound damping chamber. The second sound damping chamber is connected to the outlet opening arrangement.
