A pump includes a casing defining an interior volume. The pump casing includes at least one balancing plate that can be part of a wall of the pump casing with each balancing plate including a protruding portion having two recesses. Each recess is configured to accept one end of a fluid driver. The balancing plate aligns the fluid displacement members with respect to each other such that the fluid displacement members can pump the fluid when rotated. The balancing plates can include cooling grooves connecting the respective recesses. The cooling grooves ensure that some of the liquid being transferred in the internal volume is directed to bearings disposed in the recesses as the fluid drivers rotate.

Machine provided with a machine element (2) and an oil pump (4) and a motor (3) to drive the machine element (2) and the oil pump (4), whereby the oil pump (4) is provided with a shaft (13) with a rotor (12), whereby the oil pump (4) is provided to pump oil from an oil reservoir (5) via an inlet channel (8) to nozzles that lead into the motor (3) and/or machine element (2) to lubricate and/or cool one or more bearings or other machine components, characterized in that in the inlet channel (8), near the oil pump (4) a dam (16) is provided that is higher than the height (A) of the central axis (18) of the shaft (13) of the oil pump (4) minus the smallest diameter (B) of the rotor (12) of the oil pump (4) divided by two.

A scroll compressor includes a hermetic container, a fixed scroll, a swing scroll, a frame, an electric motor, and a shaft. A first groove and a second groove are provided outside a fixed wrap in a radial direction at an end plate surface of the fixed scroll. An oil supply hole for guiding lubricant oil from a through-hole opens at an end plate surface of the swing scroll. A single opening of the oil supply hole alternately communicates with the first groove and the second groove along with swing of the swing scroll.

A vane rotary compressor may include a main bearing and a sub bearing provided with a plurality of back pressure pockets each having a different pressure formed on a surface facing the cylinder, a rotational shaft radially supported by the main bearing and the sub bearing, a roller provided with a back pressure chamber that communicates with the plurality of back pressure pockets and having a plurality of vanes configured to divide a compression space into a plurality of compression chambers. At least one of the main bearing or the sub bearing is provided with an oil supply passage that communicates with a back pressure pocket having a relatively low pressure among the plurality of back pressure pockets. Accordingly, oil may be smoothly supplied to a back pressure pocket having a low pressure.

A method for monitoring an oil-injected screw compressor configured to compress aspirated air by returning oil from an oil separator vessel (11) to a compression chamber (12) of a compressor block (30), for condensate formation in the oil circuit due to a too low compression discharge temperature (VET), determines a water inlet mass flow {acute over (m)}.sub.ein(t) and a water outlet mass flow {acute over (m)}.sub.aus (t) for a point in time t and determines generated condensate flow Δ{acute over (m)}.sub.w (t)={acute over (m)}.sub.ein(t)−{acute over (m)}.sub.aus (t) on the basis of difference formation.

A dry vacuum pump is provided, including an oil sump; a pumping stage; two rotating shafts respectively holding a rotor extending in the pumping stage, the rotor being configured to rotate in a synchronised manner in opposite directions in order to carry a gas to be pumped between an intake and a discharge of the pump, the two rotating shafts being supported by bearings lubricated by a lubricant contained in the oil sump; and a lubricant sealing device inserted between the oil sump and a pumping stage at each shaft passage, the sealing device including a disc-shaped deflector mounted on a shaft of the two rotating shafts for rotation therewith, and a disc of the deflector has an annular end on a periphery thereof, extending towards the pumping stage, forming a retaining recess.

A horizontal compressor includes a case; a high and low pressure separating plate dividing an inner space of the case into a high-pressure chamber and a low-pressure chamber; a compressor in the high-pressure chamber configured to be operated by a motor to compress refrigerant; a suction pipe in the case to communicate with the low-pressure chamber and through which the refrigerant is sucked; and an internal suction pipe to pass through the high and low pressure separating plate, one end of the internal suction pipe connected to the compressor and another end of the internal suction pipe to communicate with the low-pressure chamber so that the refrigerant in the low-pressure chamber flows into the compressor, wherein the internal suction pipe includes a connecting pipe adjacent to a lower surface of the case parallel to a central axis of the case.

A method for controlling the liquid injection of a compressor device, where the compressor device includes at least one compressor element, the compressor element includes a housing that includes a compression space in which at least one rotor is rotatably affixed by bearings, and liquid is injected into the compressor element. The method includes providing two independent separated liquid supplies to the compressor element, where one liquid supply is injected into the compression space and the other liquid supply is injected at the location of the bearings.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a compressor and an air conditioner with the compressor. The compressor includes: a first compression part, a second compression part, an intermediate cavity and an intermediate passage. Refrigerant discharged from the first compression part enters the intermediate cavity. The intermediate passage communicates with the intermediate cavity and an inner cavity of the second compression part. A bottom port of the intermediate passage is located at a bottom of the intermediate cavity, and air supplement refrigerant and/or the refrigerant discharged from the first compression part are used to convey accumulated oil in the intermediate cavity to the inner cavity of the second compression part. When only the refrigerant is used to convey the accumulated to the inner cavity of the second compression part, at least a part of the intermediate passage is located outside of a housing assembly of the compressor.
