A two-stage rotary compressor for gas, in particular air. The compressor comprises a bottom plate and a head enclosing between them two compression stages. The compressor is characterized in that an interconnection device is arranged between the two compression stages, said device being suited to establish a communication “in series” or “in parallel”, to be selected by the manufacturer, between said two compression stages.

A dry vacuum pump is provided, including two shafts, respectively supporting at least one pumping rotor being configured to synchronously rotate in reverse in order to convey a gas to be pumped from an intake of the dry vacuum pump to an outlet; and a synchronous motor configured to rotate one shaft of the two shafts, the synchronous motor including a rotor coupled to the shaft, a first stator with windings arranged around the rotor, and at least one second stator with windings arranged around the rotor, the windings of the stators being configured to be supplied individually or simultaneously in order to adapt a power of the synchronous motor to a pumping load. A method for controlling a synchronous motor of a vacuum pump is also provided.

Positive displacement machine such as a compressor, expander, pump or the like, for displacing a gaseous or liquid medium, the machine containing an element with at least one inlet and at least one outlet for the medium and at least two cooperating driven moving parts. The mutual periodic movement of the moving parts displaces the medium from the inlet to the outlet. Each of the at least two driven cooperating moving parts is provided with its own individual drive. The element is provided with a kinematic synchronisation coupling between the at least two cooperating moving parts for the mutual kinematic synchronisation of their movements.

A pumping system is provided, including a rough-vacuum pump; a Roots vacuum pump including a pumping stage having a stator inside which two Roots rotors are configured to rotate synchronously in opposite directions to drive a gas to be pumped between an inlet orifice and an outlet orifice; and a pipeline connecting the outlet orifice to an intake of the rough-vacuum pump, a shortest distance between an edge of the outlet orifice and each of the Roots rotors in the pumping stage being less than 3 cm, and the outlet orifice being situated at the end of an upstream tube of the pipeline that passes into the pumping stage.

A power saving vacuuming pump system is based on complete-bearing-sealing and dry-large-pressure-difference root vacuuming root pumps includes an input valve at an input end of a vacuum space for receiving gas mixture of saturation water vapor and non-condensed air from a condenser of a power plant; a first root vacuum pump connected to the input valve for receiving gas mixture from the input valve and then compressing the gas mixture; a second root vacuum pump connected to the first root vacuum pump for receiving gas mixture from the first root vacuum pump and then compressing the gas mixture. Inner connection walls between the vacuum chamber and the two bearing rooms are installed respective bearings which are installed to be around the driving shaft, and thus all the vacuum chamber and the two bearing rooms are tightly sealed. The vacuum chamber is completely dried so as to prevent from internal emulsion.

A coupling assembly arranged between an input shaft and a rotor shaft of a supercharger includes a first hub, a second hub, a central hub, and a plurality of coupler pins. The first hub can be mounted with the input shaft. The second hub can be mounted with the rotor shaft. The central hub can be disposed in between the first and second hubs. The central hub can have an elastomeric body that defines a series of passages therein. The passages can taper inwardly throughout and provide incremental dampening against the first and second plurality of pins. The plurality of coupler pins can be received in the central hub bores. The first and second plurality of pins can be received by the passages in the elastomeric body.

A housing unit of a Roots pump includes a rotor housing, which includes a peripheral wall, and a cover member, which closes an opening of the rotor housing. At least one of a mating surface of the peripheral wall or a mating surface of the cover member includes an annular first groove accommodating a seal member. The rotor housing includes a bulging portion including a second groove. The seal member incudes first projections, which project from an annular seal body, and a second projection, which projects further radially inward from the seal body than the first projections. Each first projection includes a distal end that contacts a side surface on a radially inner side or on a radially outer side of the first groove. The second projection is arranged in the second groove to determine the position of the seal body in the first groove.
