A self adjusting gear pump (10) for an ice cream freezer and a control unit (20) for adaptively controlling the closing pressure (PCLOSE) of a pump for an ice cream freezer. The gear pump system comprises a pump casing (11), an inlet (12) for receiving a liquid food product of ice cream mix, an outlet (15) for transferring the ice cream mix into a freezing cylinder (41) of the ice cream freezer (40), wherein the pump (10) is closed by supplying a closing air pressure onto a moveable pump cover (16) of the pump via at least one hole (191, 192) provided straight through the pump casing (11), thereby moving said moveable pump cover (16) against the star wheel (14) and a control unit (20) for supplying a calculated closing air pressure (PCLOSE) to the pump by means of the air pressure regulator (100).

A compressor fault diagnostic apparatus including a current sensing unit to sense a current flowing through a motor of the compressor, a fault diagnostic unit to determine whether or not the motor performs a reverse rotation based on the current flowing through the motor, and a cut-off unit to remove power based on a determination of the fault diagnostic unit.

The present disclosure generally relates to an improved system and method for coupling a temperature monitoring system within a progressive cavity pump to combat dry-running. More specifically, the present disclosure describes a temperature monitoring system for use in a progressive cavity pump for monitoring the internal temperature of an elastomeric stator. The temperature monitoring system may include a sleeve and a temperature sensor disposed therein. The present disclosure achieves the desired results by inserting the sleeve into a shell portion of the stator before vulcanizing the elastomeric stator so that the sleeve may be vulcanized to the elastomeric stator.

An oil balancing system for a multiple compressor system is provided. The oil balancing system includes an oil equalization line disposed between a first compressor and a second compressor. A first solenoid valve is provided in the oil equalization line. A first signal corresponds to a first oil level in the first compressor. A second signal corresponds to a second oil level in the second compressor. An oil balancing module uses the first signal and the second signal to diagnose an oil imbalance between the first compressor and the second compressor, and applies corrective action, whereby the corrective action includes sending control signals to operate at least one of the first compressor, the second compressor, or the first solenoid valve in a way that eliminates the oil imbalance.

An information processing apparatus detecting presence or absence of abnormality of a vacuum pump derived from a product produced within a target vacuum pump, including: a determination unit configured to determine a normal variation range or a normal time variation behavior of a target state quantity which is a state quantity varying depending on a load of gas flowing into the vacuum pump, based on at least one of past target state quantities of the target vacuum pump or another vacuum pump; and a comparison unit configured to compare a current target state quantity of the target vacuum pump with the normal variation range or the normal time variation behavior and output the comparison result.

A compressor includes a sealed container, a compression element installed inside the sealed container and configured to compress refrigerant, a motor element installed inside the sealed container as a drive source of the compression element, and a pressure switch installed inside the sealed container and configured to open a normally closed contact when pressure inside the sealed container reaches or exceeds a first set pressure, where the pressure switch is connected to all of connection parts of windings forming a part of the motor element.

An oil-gas balancing apparatus includes: a body, a gas balancing opening and at least one oil balancing hole. The body has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, and the first end can be fixedly connected to a shell of a compressor and in communication with an oil sump of the compressor and a chamber of the oil sump. The gas balancing opening is disposed on a first portion of an end surface of the second end. The at least one oil balancing hole is disposed on a second portion of the end surface of the second end. The second portion and the first portion are oppositely disposed. A compressor system can include the oil-gas balancing apparatus.

Scroll compressor includes a shaft rotatably supported to a casing; an eccentric bush having a recess part into which one end portion of the shaft is inserted, an eccentric part eccentric to the shaft, and a balance weight disposed at the opposite side of the eccentric part with respect to the recess part; an orbiting scroll for performing the orbiting motion in interlock with the eccentric part; and a fixed scroll for forming a compression chamber together with the orbiting scroll. The casing has an orbiting groove in which the eccentric bush performs the orbiting motion, a buffer member is interposed between the orbiting groove and the balance weight. Rotation clearance is formed between the recess part and the shaft. The buffer member is compressed between the balance weight and the orbiting groove before the recess part and the shaft contact each other by the rotation clearance.

A fluid machine for a vehicle includes a rotary shaft, an electric motor having a coil, a drive circuit, and a housing having therein a motor chamber and a circuit chamber. The housing includes a partitioning wall partitioning between the motor chamber and the circuit chamber and a peripheral wall extending from the partitioning wall. The partitioning wall and the peripheral wall form the circuit chamber. The drive circuit includes a circuit board having a surface and an electronic component mounted on the surface of the circuit board. A connecting terminal is disposed extending through the partitioning wall and electrically connecting the coil with the drive circuit. A mounting lug is formed extending from the peripheral wall so as to mount the housing to the vehicle. The electronic component, the connecting terminals and the mounting lug are disposed in this order in the radial direction of the rotary shaft.

A safety device for an orbital pump has first and second interleaved parts which are operable to follow an orbital path with respect to each other, the safety device comprising: a first member fixable with respect to the first interleaved part; and a second member fixable with respect to the second interleaved part, the second member defining an aperture into which the first member is receivable, the aperture being dimensioned to prevent movement of the first interleaved part with respect to the second interleaved part beyond the orbital path. In this way, the members of the safety device help to prevent the moving components of the pump contacting, thereby preventing damage.
