An improved air compressor is provided. The air compressor includes a cylinder block having a head deck that defines a piston bore for reciprocal movement of a piston therein. The head deck further includes first and second ramped surfaces that slope downward toward the peripheral edge of the piston bore. A valve plate is in direct contact with the upper surface of the head deck, the valve plate having a leaf valve. During an intake stroke of the piston, the leaf valve deflects downward into direct engagement with the first and second ramped surfaces. Because the air compressor lacks a lower gasket between the valve plate and the head deck, the cost and assembly time associated with the lower gasket are eliminated.

A fluid end assembly comprising a plurality of fluid end sections positioned in a side-by-side relationship. Each fluid end section comprises a housing having a bore formed therein for housing a reciprocating plunger. Fluid is prevented from leaking around the plunger by a packing seal assembly. The packing seal assembly comprises one and only one packing seal.

A compressor includes a cylinder block having a first bore and a cylinder head overlapping the cylinder block. The cylinder head has a second bore aligned with the first bore. The second bore is separated into a plurality of distinct regions including a suction region and an economizer region. A plurality of valves includes a suction valve selectively operable to fluidly couple the suction region and the first bore, and an economizer valve selectively operable to fluidly couple the economizer region and the first bore.

For rotary protection of an external force piston of a power brake pressure generator of a hydraulic vehicle power braking system, axially parallel rotary protection grooves are provided at a circumference of an external force cylinder bore in a hydraulic block of a hydraulic unit of the vehicle power braking system, and tabs of the external force piston protrude into the rotary protection grooves.

The present invention describes a reciprocating compressor, comprising: an assembly block (10); a rotating shaft (20) comprising at least one inner axial channel (21), said inner axial channel (21) connected to at least one inner radial channel (22a, 22b) or to a cam (23); the cam (23) is associated with a connecting rod (24), and the connecting rod (24) is associated with a movable piston (25) within a compression cylinder (26); and an oil pump (C), comprising: an axial flow electric motor comprising a rotor (30), with magnets (31), and a stator (40) with coils (41); wherein the rotor (30) and the stator (40) are fixed to the shaft (20) and to the assembly block (10), respectively, by means of bearings or fixing arrangements.

Typically, an engine-compressor for compressing natural gas for use as a fuel has a single cooling circuit to cool both its combustion unit and compression unit. A single cooling circuit design is not ideal because the optimal temperature for the combustion unit is higher than the compression unit of the engine-compressor. The present invention provides a dual zone cooling system to cool the combustion unit separately from the compression unit.

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 cylinder block for a compressor includes: a shaft support configured to support a rotary shaft of an outer rotor type motor; a first support that is arranged radially outward of the shaft support and that extends along a circumferential direction about a center of the shaft support; a second support that is arranged radially outward of the first support and that extends along the circumferential direction about the center of the shaft support; a third support that connects the first support to the second support; a cylinder portion that defines a cylindrical inner space at a position radially away from the center of the shaft support; and a noise chamber defined at at least one side of the cylinder portion.

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.

A compressor includes a case, a compression unit having a cylinder, a piston disposed inside the cylinder, and a driving unit for reciprocating the piston, and a support unit elastically supporting the compression unit to be spaced apart from an inner surface of the case. The support unit includes a wire spring having a plurality of linear portions arranged in parallel with one another and curved portions each connecting two adjacent linear portions. The wire spring includes a first wire spring and a second wire spring symmetrically disposed with each other. The wire spring includes a connecting portion connecting the first wire spring and the second wire spring, and the connecting portion is supported by the case. Accordingly, a simplified structure can be obtained and a manufacturing cost can be reduced.
