A climate-control system may include first and second compressors and a suction manifold. The first compressor includes a first shell, a first compression mechanism, and a first suction inlet through which working fluid is drawn into the first compressor. The second compressor includes a second shell, a second compression mechanism, and a second suction inlet through which working fluid is drawn into the second compressor. The suction manifold includes first and second arms. The first arm provides working fluid to the first suction inlet. The second arm provides working fluid to the second suction inlet. The second arm includes a first suction pipe, a second suction pipe, and a suction valve. The suction valve is movable between a first position in which working fluid is allowed to flow through the first suction pipe and a second position in which working fluid is allowed to flow through the second suction pipe.

An oil injection apparatus includes: a storage unit extruding lubricating oil through an ejection hole formed at a lower end thereof; a discharge unit communicating with the storage through the ejection hole and discharging the lubricating oil outside according to a pumping operation; a plurality of discharge pumps arranged at regular intervals in a circumferential direction of the discharge unit and having respective first ends disposed in the discharge unit; and a driving unit rotating in a direction to sequentially press the first ends of the discharge pumps, which are disposed in the discharge unit, thereby causing the discharge pumps to perform the pumping operation in turn.

A method of lubricating a fluid production pump may include mixing a polarized lubricant with water to produce a diluted lubricant. The method may additionally include creating a flowpath within the fluid production pump. An initial volume of the diluted lubricant may be circulated within the flowpath to allow the diluted lubricant to react with components of the fluid production pump and form a protective barrier on the components of the fluid production pump. The method may further comprise repeatedly introducing a periodic volume of diluted lubricant into the fluid production pump according to a predefined lubrication schedule.

A pump assembly for delivering a medium via a flow chamber (13) defined by a hydraulic housing and a housing cover, includes a pump shaft rotatably drivable about an axis of rotation, an impeller fixed to one end of the pump shaft inside the flow chamber, a bearing carrier. The pump assembly further includes a lubrication and cooling system with oil recirculation in the bearing carrier.

Disclosed is a method for delivering a lubrication liquid to a machine in a terminating liquid lubrication system. A machine and a cartridge containing a lubrication liquid are connected to each other so that the lubrication liquid is supplied to the machine. Some embodiments may include a monitoring system, a backup source of lubrication liquid, and/or a second cartridge that automatically provides lubrication liquid to the machine when the cartridge is empty.

A shaft seal device mounted rotating electrical machine includes; a rotating electrical machine which includes a rotating shaft equipped with a shaft seal device having an inlet portion and an outlet portion of seal oil, a main oil tank in which the seal oil supplied to the shaft seal device is stored, a seal oil cleanup tank which includes an inlet portion connected to an outlet portion of the main oil tank, and has an oil level regulating valve, a degassing pump which includes an inlet portion connected to an outlet portion of the seal oil cleanup tank, a pressure regulating valve which is disposed between the outlet portion of the seal oil cleanup tank and an outlet portion of the degassing pump, a differential pressure control valve which is disposed between the outlet portion of the degassing pump and the inlet portion of the shaft seal device.

Provided is an oil feed type air compressor which can increase the determination accuracy regarding a deterioration state of oil. An oil feed type air compressor 1 includes a compressor main body 3, a separator 6 that separates oil from compressed air discharged from the compressor main body 3, and an oil feeding system 8 that feeds the oil separated by the separator 6 into a compression chamber of the compressor main body 3. The oil feeding system 8 includes a temperature control valve 20 that adjusts a diversion ratio for an oil cooler 18 and a diversion ratio for a bypass pipe 19 according to a temperature of the oil. The oil feed type air compressor 1 includes pressure sensors 22A and 22B located in the oil feeding system 8, a discharge temperature sensor 11 located on the discharge side of the compressor main body 3, and a controller 9 that computes, when it is estimated that the diversion ratio for the oil cooler 18 is 100% from the temperature sensed by the discharge temperature sensor 11 exceeding a predetermined value Td1, a difference ?P between the pressure sensed by the pressure sensor 22A and the pressure sensed by the pressure sensor 22B and determines a deterioration state of the oil in reference to the difference ?P.

A hydraulic system, for example a seal oil system, includes a hydraulic feeding pump having a motor, a hydraulic motor having a generator, a cooler and a storage tank for receiving hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic feeding pump is configured to draw hydraulic fluid from the reservoir and to direct the fluid to one or more consumers (for example mechanical seals). The hydraulic motor installed downstream of the consumer drives an electric generator. The generator can be coupled to a VFD which controls the speed of the hydraulic motor. The electric power, generated by the generator, is fed back into the power grid.
