Compressor Having Lubrication System
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 aperture. The oil passage is in fluid communication with the oil aperture. The bearing housing cooperates with the second scroll member to define an interior volume. Lubricant in the interior volume is selectively allowed to flow into the oil passage via the oil aperture.
Method of priming a pump of an aircraft engine
A method of priming a pump includes supplying lubricant, via a priming flow path, into an interface defined between a first part of a shaft of the pump and a second part of the shaft coaxially engaged with the first part of the shaft to define the pump, the first part of the shaft rotatable about a rotation axis relative to the second part of the shaft, and supplying lubricant into the interface via a lubrication flow path that is different from the priming flow path. A method of lubricating an aircraft motor of an aircraft engine, and a machine for an aircraft engine are also described.
Scroll compressor
A scroll compressor includes an oil circulation pipe having one end inserted through a casing to be connected to an oil storage space inside the casing and another end connected to a suction passage for supplying refrigerant from outside of the casing to a compression chamber, an oil circulation valve disposed between the both ends of the oil circulation pipe to selectively open or close the oil circulation pipe, and a controller to control an opening or closing operation of the oil circulation pipe to reduce or eliminate frictional loss due to a shortage of oil by adjusting an oil level of the oil storage space at an initial operation.
Scroll compressor having compression chamber oil supplies having stages in which oil supply overlaps and stages in which oil supply does not overlap
A scroll compressor according to the present disclosure includes a fixed scroll, an orbiting scroll forming first and compression chambers with the fixed scroll, first and second compression chamber oil supply holes formed through the orbiting scroll to communicate with the first compression chamber and the second compression chamber, respectively, wherein when a section in which the first compression chamber oil supply hole is opened toward the first compression chamber is a first oil supply section and a section in which the second compression chamber oil supply hole is opened toward the second compression chamber, a non-overlap section between the first oil supply section and the second oil supply section may be longer than an overlap section between the first oil supply section and the second oil supply section, so as to prevent communication between the first and second compression chambers, thereby suppressing leakage between the compression chambers.
Rotary compressor
A rotary compressor is provided that may include a roller slidingly coupled to an eccentric portion of a rotational shaft so as to be moved along an inner circumferential surface of a cylinder by the rotational shaft, and a vane slidingly coupled to the cylinder so as to divide the compression space into a plurality of compression chambers. An oil supply groove may be formed on an outer circumferential surface of the eccentric portion or an inner circumferential surface of the roller that faces the outer circumferential surface of the eccentric portion, and a depth of the oil supply groove may decrease as a distance in a circumferential direction from the second oil supply hole increases. Accordingly, an amount of oil supplied between the eccentric portion and the roller may be increased to thereby reduce friction loss.
Rotor cooling system with increased coolant residence time for electric motor
A permanent magnet electric motor includes a shaft extending along a longitudinal axis, wherein the shaft defines a shaft jacket extending along a first direction, a rotor mounted on the shaft, a stator disposed about the rotor. The rotor defines a plurality of longitudinal channels each with the shaft jacket. The longitudinal channels are part of a rotor jacket. The rotor jacket includes a plurality of inlets fluidly interconnecting the shaft jacket and the plurality of the longitudinal channels. The rotor jacket includes an inner edge and an outer edge opposite the inner edge. The rotor jacket includes a plurality of outlets each in fluid communication with the plurality of longitudinal channels. Each of the outlets is closer to the inner edge than to the outer edge of the rotor jacket.
