A seal assembly configured for use with a high pressure single screw compressor includes a seal body and at least one attachment structure. The at least one attachment structure fixedly attaches the seal body to the rotor of the compressor, such that the seal body is rotatable along with the rotor. The seal body has a textured outer surface which creates a labyrinthine path between the compressor housing and the seal body.

A screw compressor of the present invention comprises: a housing having a compression chamber; male and female rotors provided in the compression chamber; a driving shaft for rotating the male and female rotors; and a seal cover across which the driving shaft is provided, and further includes: an oil chamber provided at the seal cover, and returning, to the compression chamber, oil having leaked into the driving shaft; and a breather for injecting external air into the oil chamber. Therefore, the breather is provided at the upper part of the oil chamber and an oil recovery line is provided at the lower part thereof so as to cause a pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the oil chamber, such that the flow of the oil having leaked into the driving shaft is smoothly recovered in the oil recovery line.

A scroll compressor includes a main housing. A driving part configured to generate torque and a compression part driven by the driving part are accommodated in the main housing. The compression part includes a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll that engages with the fixed scroll to form a compression chamber in which a refrigerant is compressed. The torque of the driving part is transmitted to the compression part by a driving shaft. The driving shaft is rotatably supported by a main bearing positioned in a low pressure region adjacent to the driving part. Accordingly, since the main bearing is disposed in a low pressure region, a load applied to the main bearing may be decreased.

The invention relates to a screw compressor comprising a compressor housing (11) having two rotor screws (1, 2) mounted axially parallel therein, which mesh with each other in a compression space (18), can be driven by a drive and are synchronized with each other in their rotational movement, wherein the rotor screws (1, 2) each have a single-part or multi-part base body (24) with two end faces (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) and a profiled surface (12a, 12b) extending therebetween, and shaft ends (30) projecting beyond the end faces (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d), wherein at least the profiled surface (12a, 12b) is formed in multiple layers, comprising a first, inner layer (3) and a second, outer layer (4), wherein the first, inner layer (3) and the second, outer layer (4) both comprise or are formed from a thermoplastic synthetic material, wherein particles (25) or pores (32) supporting a running-in process are embedded in the second, outer layer (4) and the thermoplastic synthetic material defines a matrix for receiving the particles (25) or for forming the pores (32).

A water lubrication air compression system disposes an lubricant heat dissipation system at a bearing chamber close to the high pressure end of the compressor for cooling and circulating lubricant due to the rise of temperature during operation of the compressor, hence enhancing the ability and stability of the compressor. On the other hand, a negative pressure system is connected to the air chambers between the oil lubrication and the water lubrication of the compressor in order to provide a negative pressure. If any leak of water vapor at the compressor chamber or oil vapor at the bearing chamber, the negative pressure system is able to produce a negative pressured condition toward the sealing structure so that the oil lubrication can be effectively isolated from the water lubrication and inter-contamination between the lubricant and water can be avoided.

The present invention relates to a two-stage liquid ring vacuum pump in which two-stage impellers are attached to an axial end portion of a main shaft (rotating shaft) of a motor. The two-stage liquid ring vacuum pump includes a first-stage impeller (4) provided in a first-stage pump chamber (1), a second-stage impeller (5) provided in a second-stage pump chamber (2), a single rotating shaft (7) to which the first-stage impeller (4) and the second-stage impeller (5) are fixed, and an exhaust port (Pd) of the first-stage pump chamber (1) and an intake port (Ps) of the second-stage pump chamber (2) which communicate with each other. An outer diameter of the first-stage impeller (4) is larger than an outer diameter of the second-stage impeller (5).

A supercharger includes a rotor housing defining a pair of cylindrical chambers. A driving shaft bearing is to support a driving rotor shaft for rotation in the rotor housing. A driven shaft bearing is to support a driven rotor shaft for rotation in the rotor housing. An oil sump housing is to enclose a timing gear end of the rotor housing. A shaft seal is disposed between the rotor housing and each respective rotor shaft. The oil sump housing, the rotor housing and driving and driven shaft seals define a closed container for oil to lubricate the driving shaft bearing, the driven shaft bearing, a driving timing gear and a driven timing gear. The oil pools in the closed container and a top surface of the oil is spaced below the timing gears when the driving rotor shaft is in a vertical orientation.

A compressor is provided and may include a shell, a main bearing housing disposed within the shell, a driveshaft, a non-orbiting scroll member, and an orbiting scroll member. The driveshaft may be supported by the main bearing housing. The non-orbiting scroll member may be coupled to the main bearing housing and may include a first lubricant supply path in fluid communication with a lubricant source. The orbiting scroll member may be rotatably coupled to the driveshaft and may be meshingly engaged with the non-orbiting scroll member. The orbiting scroll member may include a recess that is moved between a first position in fluid communication with the first lubricant supply path and a second position fluidly isolated from the first lubricant supply path.

A scroll device includes a fixed scroll with an idler shaft bearing, an orbiting scroll with another idler shaft bearing; and an eccentric idler shaft having first and second arms extending in opposite directions and ending at first and second ends, the first and second arms supported by the fixed scroll idler shaft bearing and the orbiting scroll idler shaft bearing, respectively. The eccentric idler shaft has a hollow core extending from the first end to the second end, with at least one channel extending through the first arm and enabling fluid communication between the hollow core and the at least one first bearing, and at least one second channel extending through the second arm and enabling fluid communication between the hollow core and the least one second bearing.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vane pump that is able to prevent decrease of power transmission efficiency when the vane pump is used in combination with a device such as a transmission device, for example. Therefore, this vane pump (10, 20, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90) has a hollow shaft (1, 21, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91), the hollow shaft (1, 21, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91) is configured such that a hollow portion thereof allows a rotation driving shaft (which is, for example, an input shaft 103 of a transmission device as illustrated in FIG. 1, and, which also includes an input shaft which is inserted directly into the transmission device from a driving source 102 without having a coupling interposed therebetween) of the driving source (102) to be inserted therethrough, and the hollow shaft (1, 21, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91) and the rotation driving shaft (103) are coupled by means of a mechanism (spline, key and key groove, etc.) for transmitting a torque but transmitting no thrust.
