A lubricant additive for introduction into a AC/R system to improve lubricant miscibility and performance in the AC/R system.

A lubricant supply system is for a compressor that compresses a first working fluid in a heat transfer circuit. The lubricant supply system includes a lubricant tank, a lubricant pathway for supplying lubricant from the lubricant tank to one or more bearings of the compressor, and a lubricant refrigeration system with a lubricant heater and a lubricant cooler. The lubricant heater configured to heat the lubricant discharged from the one or more bearings and the lubricant cooler configured to cool the lubricant flowing through the lubricant pathway. A method of lubricating a compressor includes heating the lubricant, directing the lubricant from a lubricant tank through a lubricant pathway to one or more bearings of the compressor, and cooling the lubricant passing through the lubricant pathway.

Implementations of an applicator syringe are provided. In some implementations, the applicator syringe may be configured to dispense a lubricant from a dispensing needle thereof. In some implementations, the applicator syringe may be configured so that the plunger shaft and the dispensing needle are removable when not in use. In some implementations, when the applicator syringe has been disassembled, the dispensing needle may be stored within the barrel of the applicator syringe and the plunger shaft secured about the exterior of the barrel. In some implementations, the applicator syringe may comprise a barrel having a finger flange, a plunger positioned within the interior chamber of the barrel, a plunger shaft configured to urge the plunger forward, a dispensing needle that can be removably secured to the front end of the barrel, a removable cap, and a barrel plug.

A liquid dispensing spout assembly is provided that includes a housing having a first cylindrical portion and a second cylindrical portion attached at an angle to the first cylindrical portion, a spout attached to a the second cylindrical housing, a vent disposed inside a lower portion of the first cylindrical housing, the second cylindrical housing, and the spout, and a valve assembly disposed inside the first cylindrical portion.

A lid body of a lid apparatus includes a spout opening defined in the lid body; a handle opposite the spout opening; and a vent opening defined in the lid body between the spout opening and the handle. The lid apparatus also includes an elongate pin slidably received in the body and translatable between a closed position and an open position. The elongate pin includes a spout sealing end in sealing contact with the lid body to close the spout opening in the closed position; an actuating end opposite the spout sealing end; and a vent sealing portion in sealing contact with the lid body to close the vent opening in the closed position. A resilient member biases the elongate pin into the closed position. An actuator disposed on the handle and connected to the actuating end may be pulled to pull the elongate pin into the open position.

This pouring closure permits controlled multi-side pouring by means of a canister spout. The pouring closure consists of a spout attachment (2), which forms a channel (14), which is reduced in size with respect to the spout and an upper outer edge of which forms a protruding drop lip (11). A closure cover (1), which acts as a jet former, forms a pipe (4), which extends downward and which fits into a channel (14) on the spout attachment (2) in a sealing manner. The pipe (4) extending downward has a lateral window (5), which extends at least around 90 of the pipe circumference. The remaining pipe circumference is doubled-walled. The interior thus formed leads toward the outside in the axial direction at the lower end of the pipe (4) as an air channel (7), and the air channel (7) likewise leads toward the outside only in the upper region of the window (5) laterally on both sides of the window. Thus, pouring can occur over each point of the drop lip (11) with a jet that always remains constant and with sufficient pressure equalization in the canister during the entire pouring process.

A device for applying oil on a chain of a two-wheeler, such as a bicycle (10), comprises: a container for the oil to be applied; an outlet through which the oil may exit from the container; and an applicator configured to repeatedly open and close the outlet during a movement of the device relative to the chain in the longitudinal direction of the chain so that the oil located in the container is applied incrementally to the chain.
