A vane pump includes a housing, a rotor, a vane and a reed valve. A position at which the sliding direction of the vane with respect to the rotor is inverted from outward to inward is defined as a reference position, and a section of the pump chamber on the discharge hole side with respect to the reference position is defined as a discharge section. A pressure relief groove is disposed in a portion of the bottom wall portion corresponding to the discharge section with a clearance secured between the peripheral wall portion and the pressure relief groove. When the vane overlaps the pressure relief groove, a pair of the working chambers communicate with each other via the pressure relief groove.

A pump includes: a rotor and a stator; the rotor having at least one liquid opening configured for fluid communication with a liquid source. The liquid opening is configured such that a stream of liquid is output to form a liquid blade between the rotor and the stator, and gas confined by the stator, the rotor and the liquid blade is driven through the pump . The pump is configured such that a pumping channel has side walls that slope towards each other from the rotor that comprises the liquid opening towards a further wall of the pumping channel remote from the rotor, such that a distance between the side walls decreases with increasing distance from the liquid opening, a tangent to a midpoint of the side walls having an angle of between 5° and 40° with respect to a line perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the rotor.

A compressor includes first and second scroll members and a bearing housing. The first scroll member includes a first end plate and a first scroll wrap. The second scroll member includes a second end plate that has a first surface, a second surface, and an oil passage. The first surface has a second scroll wrap meshingly engaging the first scroll wrap. The second surface includes an oil slot. The oil passage is in fluid communication with the oil slot. The bearing housing cooperates with the second scroll member to define an interior volume. The second scroll member is movable between a first position in which lubricant in the interior volume is allowed to flow into the oil passage via the oil slot, and a second position in which working fluid in the chamber is allowed to flow into the oil passage via the oil slot.

A twin shaft pump may include two cooperating rotors configured to rotate in opposite directions about parallel axes of rotation; a stator comprising a stator bore in which the rotors are mounted to rotate. The stator bore includes a central part between the two axes of rotation, and an outer part outside of the two axes, the rotors being configured to have cooperating dimensions with the stator bore such that an outer edge of each rotor that is remote from the other rotor seals with the stator bore when rotating in at least a portion of the outer part. A fluid inlet is provided in the stator bore, at least a portion of the fluid inlet being in the central part of the stator bore between the axes of rotation. A fluid outlet is provide in an opposing surface of the stator bore, the fluid outlet being in the central part of the stator bore. The fluid inlet and fluid outlet are arranged such that on rotation of the rotors, the rotors each move a pumping chamber between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet; wherein at least a portion of the fluid inlet is arranged to extend beyond the central part of the stator bore.

Disclosed is a multi-stage compressor, including a gas supplement structure, a low-pressure stage chamber and a high-pressure stage chamber.
