Motor driven compressor and manufacturing method thereof
To provide a motor-driven compressor which suppresses heat generation, enables power saving, exerts excellent durability, lowers a manufacturing cost, and hardly produces a defective product. The motor-driven compressor according to the present invention comprises a cover. The cover includes a first connector portion, first and second wires, and first and second resin portions. The first and second wires include first and second terminal portions having a cylindrical shape, lead portions, and first and second lid portions that are supported at opening end portions of the first and second terminal portions. The first and second lid portions close the opening end portions of the first and second terminal portions, and thereby prevent an insulating resin from entering the first and second terminal portions.
Lubrication system for a compressor
An oil flooded screw compressor includes a housing with an inlet and an outlet, and a rotor supported within the housing by a bearing. The rotor is rotatable to compress air from the inlet to the outlet when the compressor is in an operating state, and the rotor is rotatable without compressing air when the compressor is in an idle state. The compressor also includes a pump configured to supply oil to the bearing only when the compressor is in the idle state.
High Suction Pressure Single Screw Compressor with Thrust Balancing Load Using Shaft Seal Pressure and Related Methods
A high suction pressure thrust load balance assembly configured for use with a single screw compressor includes comprises a sealing baffle that is keyed to, so as to be rotatable along with, a main rotor drive shaft of the single screw compressor. The sealing baffle is configured to create a force or load to counteract the axial force of the main rotor drive shaft created during rotation of the main rotor drive shaft using the pressurized oil used to lubricate the mechanical shaft seal of the compressor.
Screw Compressor
A screw compressor includes plural screw rotors, plural suction-side bearings that each rotatably support the suction side of the plural screw rotors and plural discharge-side bearings that each rotatably support the discharge side of the plural screw rotors, and a casing that houses the plural screw rotors, the plural suction-side bearings, and the plural discharge-side bearings. Each screw rotor includes a lobe section with plural lobes and a suction-side shaft section and a discharge-side shaft section each disposed at both ends of the lobe section. The casing has a housing chamber that houses the lobe sections of the plural screw rotors and a lubrication path in which liquid that lubricates the plural suction-side bearings circulates. In the lubrication path, respective passages to lubricate each of the plural suction-side bearings are connected in series and a most downstream part is connected to the housing chamber.
Multi-bearing scroll compressor to enhance load management
A scroll compressor including a first bearing rotatably supporting a rotary shaft relative to a casing at one side of the rotary shaft with respect to a motor, a second bearing rotatably supporting the rotary shaft relative to the casing at the other side of the rotary shaft with respect to the motor, and a third bearing rotatably supporting the rotary shaft relative to an orbiting scroll at the opposite side of the first bearing with respect to the second bearing. The distance between a first bearing center and a third bearing center is a predetermined distance, the distance between a motor center and the third bearing center is longer than the distance between the motor center and the first bearing center, and the distance between a second bearing center and the motor center is longer than the distance between the second bearing center and the third bearing center.
Screw compressor having a lubrication path for a plurality of suction side bearings
A screw compressor includes plural screw rotors, plural suction-side bearings that each rotatably support the suction side of the plural screw rotors and plural discharge-side bearings that each rotatably support the discharge side of the plural screw rotors, and a casing that houses the plural screw rotors, the plural suction-side bearings, and the plural discharge-side bearings. Each screw rotor includes a lobe section with plural lobes and a suction-side shaft section and a discharge-side shaft section each disposed at both ends of the lobe section. The casing has a housing chamber that houses the lobe sections of the plural screw rotors and a lubrication path in which liquid that lubricates the plural suction-side bearings circulates. In the lubrication path, respective passages to lubricate each of the plural suction-side bearings are connected in series and a most downstream part is connected to the housing chamber.
ROTARY LOBE PUMP WITH INTERNAL BEARING
A rotary lobe pump having a pump housing with a pump room, an inlet opening and an outlet opening, a first multi-lobe rotary piston, which is arranged in the pump room and is rotatably mounted about a first axis of rotation, a second multi-lobe rotary piston, which is arranged in the pump room and is rotatably mounted about a second axis of rotation spaced apart from the first axis of rotation and meshingly engages in the first rotary piston, wherein the first and second rotary pistons are drivable in opposite directions and are designed to generate a flow of a conveyed medium from the inlet opening through the pump room to the outlet opening by counter-rotation about the first and second axis of rotation, respectively, and a drive device, which is mechanically coupled to the rotary pistons for driving the rotary pistons.
OIL-FREE WATER-INJECTED SCREW AIR COMPRESSOR
An oil-free water-injected screw air compressor comprises a housing that encloses two rotors for generating compressed air, an air water separator for separating the water from the compressed air. Injecting water during compression can remove the heat of compression and thus enhance efficiency of compression. However, injecting water may complicate bearing lubrication. According to the present subject matter, these challenges are tackled using a sealing system for isolation of bearing lubricant from water used for cooling.
Flared springs for bearing assemblies
A bearing assembly includes a bearing defining a bearing bore therethrough with a plurality of spring bores circumferentially distributed around the bearing bore. A respective spring is seated in each of the spring bores. Each spring is has a flared end that is larger in diameter than a main section of the spring. The flared end of each spring engages its respective spring bore.
MODULAR FLUID PUMP FOR USE IN DIVERSE APPLICATIONS
A modular fluid pump includes a stator having a plurality of stator teeth and windings that are positioned on the stator teeth. A rotor has a central shaft and substantially hemispheric ends and a plurality of magnets that define an electromagnetic communication with the windings A housing surrounds the stator and includes a fixed end cap that receives one of the hemispheric ends of the central shaft and defines a rotational axis of the rotor. A securing end cap that receives the other hemispheric end of the central shaft. The central shaft and the fixed and securing end caps define the rotational axis of the rotor. Engagement of the hemispheric end with the central shaft and the fixed and securing end caps maintains the rotor and the central shaft aligned with the rotational axis and balanced within the stator.
