The present disclosure provides a pump body, a compressor, and a heat exchange apparatus. The pump body includes a cylinder assembly, a piston, a motion transmission structure, and a drive member. The cylinder assembly includes a cylinder. The piston is movably disposed in the cylinder. The drive member is connected to the piston through the motion transmission structure. An outer peripheral wall of the piston has a rail groove connected end to end in a circumferential direction, and the cylinder has a guide structure extending into the rail groove; or an inner surface of the cylinder has a rail groove connected end to end in the circumferential direction, and the piston has a guide structure extending into the rail groove. So that through driving of the piston by the drive member, the piston is capable of rotating relative to the cylinder while reciprocating along a rotating axis of the piston.

A flangeless fluid end comprising a fluid end body releasably attached to a connect plate. The connect plate is attached to a power source using stay rods. The flow bores of the fluid end are sealed without threading a retainer nut into the walls of each bore. Instead, the flow bores are sealed by bolting a retainer to the fluid end body. Plungers to drive fluid through the fluid end body are installed within removable stuffing box sleeves. These sleeves are maintained within the plunger bores by the bolted retainers. A number of features, including the location of seals within bore walls and carbide inserts within valve structures, aid in reducing or transferring wear.

The present invention concerns a pump for high-density powder transfer. The pump for high-density powder transportation according to the present invention has four-stroke operation, in which four pumping chambers in reality constitute a system of two pairs of chambers in line with each other. This makes it possible to divide the overall flow rate per minute over four tanks. Each of the four tanks has a reduced capacity, to the benefit of the compactness of the pump and the reduction of the loading/emptying times of the single tank, by exploiting the fluid-dynamic principle of communicating vessels the system of pairs of chambers in line increases the overall powder storage volume, thanks to a constant depression.

A reciprocating compressor includes a compressor cylinder defining a cylinder wall, a valve bore formed in the cylinder wall, and a compressor valve assembly arranged in the compressor cylinder. The compressor valve assembly includes a valve liner having a liner body and a liner flange disposed at an end of the liner body. The liner body is disposed in the valve bore. The liner flange is positioned in contact with the compressor cylinder. A valve seat is coupled to an inner surface of the liner body. The valve seat has a seating surface formed at an end of the valve seat. A compressor valve is positioned on the seating surface of the valve seat. A valve cage is positioned on the compressor valve. A valve cover is coupled to the valve cage to apply a bias force to retain the compressor valve on the seating surface of the valve seat.

The discharge valve arrangement (17) includes a valve plate (18) including a discharge passage (22) and a valve seat (23) surrounding the discharge passage (22); a valve housing (24) being secured to the valve plate (18) and including a bottom portion (25) facing away from the valve plate (18), a sidewall (26) extending from the bottom portion (25) and towards the valve plate (18), and a discharge opening (28) formed in the sidewall (26); a valve member (31) displaceable between a closed position in which the valve member (31) closes the discharge passage (22) and an open position in which the valve member (31) opens the discharge passage (22). The valve housing (24) includes a gas damping chamber defined by the bottom portion (25) and the sidewall (26) and being configured to accommodate the valve member (31) in the open position; and an exhaust opening (37) formed in the bottom portion (25) and emerging in the gas damping chamber.

A method for expanding a compressed gas (GD) at a gas pressure (pD) with a reciprocating-piston machine, wherein the reciprocating-piston machine includes a piston that can move to and fro and a working chamber delimited by the movable piston. The method being carried out as follows: the compressed gas (GD) is supplied to the working chamber via an actuatable rotary slide valve, wherein the compressed gas (GD) in the working chamber is expanded in the working chamber.

A gas booster for increasing a pressure of a gas includes a gas cylinder and a drive. The gas cylinder defines a chamber having an inlet and an outlet. A piston is actuatable within the gas cylinder to draw gas into the chamber through the inlet at a first pressure and to push the gas out of the chamber through the outlet at a second pressure that is higher than the first pressure. The drive includes an electric motor coupled to the piston of the gas cylinder by a mechanical connection to actuate the piston.
