A process for manufacturing a device and the device for damping pressure pulsations for a compressor of a gaseous fluid, in particular a refrigerant, in a refrigerant circuit of a motor vehicle air-conditioning system. The device exhibits a housing that encompasses a chamber and features at least two outlet openings. Here, the housing is constructed between tubular connecting lines, whose ends are aligned with one another. An insert element for reducing the cross-sectional area of the pass-through opening is arranged inside at least one of the pass-through openings.

A compressor is provided that may include a cylinder comprising at least one gas inlet formed on an outer circumferential surface, the cylinder being formed in a cylindrical shape; a piston disposed inside of the cylinder and configured to reciprocate axially; a spring supporter disposed outside of the cylinder and coupled to a rear of the piston; a resonant spring coupled to the spring supporter; a magnet frame coupled to a front of the spring supporter; and a mover disposed on the magnet frame. The at least one gas inlet may include a first gas inlet, and a second gas inlet disposed at a rear of the first gas inlet. A straight line extending radially from a center of mass of the piston, the spring supporter, the magnet frame, and the mover may be disposed between the first gas inlet and the second gas inlet.

A linear compressor includes a casing, a back cover supported in the casing, an intake flow path member coupled to the back cover, and an intake muffler of which at least a portion linearly reciprocates inside the intake flow path member. The intake flow path member includes a first hole that is formed in a front surface and is penetrated by the intake muffler, and a flow path guide that extends axially forward from a rear surface and has an opened front and an opened rear. A noise of a refrigerant passing through the intake flow path member can be reduced through an expansion space between the flow path guide and an inner surface of the intake flow path member.

Reduction of noise produced by hermetic compressors. The acoustic filter includes an inlet duct, an outlet duct and a main chamber. The inlet duct includes a refrigerant fluid inlet and a refrigerant fluid delivery end. The refrigerant fluid delivery end is opposite to the refrigerant fluid inlet and it is capable of guiding the refrigerant fluid to the main chamber. The outlet duct includes a refrigerant fluid outlet and a refrigerant fluid collection end. The refrigerant fluid collection end is opposite to the refrigerant fluid outlet for guiding the refrigerant fluid from the main chamber to the fluid outlet. The filter includes a resonator chamber arranged adjacent to the inlet duct and adjacent to the main chamber. The resonator chamber and the inlet duct are fluidically connected by a resonator tube and the resonator chamber is separated from the main chamber by a sealing wall.

A pump system (120) has a central pump unit (110), with which at least one hook-up unit (130). The least one hook-up unit (130) is from a group of a plurality of hook-up units (130) that can be combined in modular form for setting an operating point of a pump (10) that forms the pump unit (110). A method uses such a hook-up unit (130) in a pump system (120) for setting an operating point of the pump unit (110) thereof. A medical device is provided with such a pump unit (110) or with such a pump unit (110) and at least one hook-up unit (130) combined with the pump unit (110).

Suction muffler (1) for a hermetic refrigeration compressor (2), the suction muffler (1) comprising an inlet (3), so that refrigerant can flow into the suction muffler (1), and an outlet (4), so that refrigerant can flow out from the suction muffler (1), the suction muffler (1) further comprising two damping chambers (5, 6) for sound damping, where the two damping chambers (5, 6) each has a floor (8, 9) and where a wall element (11) is provided, in order to separate the two damping chambers (5, 6) from each other for the refrigerant in the region of their floors (8, 9). In order to guarantee that the damping chambers (5, 6) are overall as gas-tight and sound-tight as possible, it is provided according to the invention that in the region of the wall element (11) at least one siphon segment (16) that connects the two floors is disposed, in order to receive oil (14) in an operating position of the suction muffler (1), where the at least one siphon segment (16) connects the two damping chambers (5, 6) in siphon fashion to each other for the oil (14).

Methods and systems for applying charge to a piezoelectric element include and/or facilitate implementation of processes including cyclical multi-stage processes for: providing a piezoelectric element with an accumulated charge; providing one or more charge holding elements with a scavenged charge from the piezoelectric element; substantially removing or discharging a remaining charge from the piezoelectric element; and applying the scavenged charge to the piezoelectric element with an opposite polarity in relation to the polarity of the remaining charge.

In a permanent magnet embedded electric motor, a rotor iron core of a rotor disposed on an inner diameter side of a stator includes: a plurality of first slits that are formed on a radial direction outer side of a magnet insertion hole, and communicate with the magnet insertion hole; a plurality of second slits formed at positions opposed to and spaced apart from the first slits; inter-slit iron core portions formed between the first slits and the second slits; outer side iron core portions formed between the second slits and an outer circumferential surface of the rotor iron core; space portions communicating with rotating direction end portions of the magnet insertion hole; and thin iron core portions that are formed between the space portions and the outer circumferential surface of the rotor iron core, and extend in a rotating direction.

Acoustic attenuating device for compressors which includes a hollow body having at least one input port, at least one output channel, at least one output port disposed in the at least one output channel, an intermediate body dividing the hollow body into two acoustic chambers, and a connection channel communicating the two acoustic chambers. Said connection channel includes two sub-channels, wherein one of the two sub-channels accommodates, at least partially, the output channel and the other one of the two sub-channels conforms fluid communication between the two acoustic chambers. The acoustic attenuating device further includes at least one blocker disposed between the outer side of the output channel and the inner side of the sub-channel which accommodates the output channel, wherein said blocker is capable of precluding flow between the two acoustic chambers, thereby reducing the amount of lubricating oil which flows out from the compressor into the cooling system.

Provided is a muffler for an air-conditioning apparatus, which is compact and has a small pressure loss, and an air-conditioning apparatus including the same. The muffler for an air-conditioning apparatus including a muffler main body which has small diameter portions on an inlet side and an outlet side, the small diameter portions having inner diameters smaller than an inner diameter of a central portion of the muffler main body, an inlet pipe connected to the small diameter portion on the inlet side of the muffler main body; and an outlet pipe connected to the small diameter portion on the outlet side of the muffler main body.
