A method and a device for compensating leakage losses in a line system, in which at least one positive displacement pump and at least one shut-off member are provided, wherein the method and device can be used for the isobaric metering of liquid plastic components and wherein the actual liquid pressure in the system is determined by way of a pressure measuring device and, when the shut-off member is closed is regulated to a pressure target value by actuation of the positive displacement pump, wherein the conveying loss rate of the positive displacement pump, which ensues to maintain the pressure target value when the shut-off member is closed is added to a target delivery rate in order to compensate for the leakage loss occurring at the corresponding pressure target value.

A hydraulic pump is described, comprising at least one inlet duct for a fluid, at least one outlet duct for the fluid and at least one pumping unit interposed between the inlet and outlet ducts. At least one multifunction valve is interposed between the inlet duct, upstream of the pumping unit, and the outlet duct, downstream of the pumping unit, which valve is configured to divert the flow of fluid from the inlet duct to the outlet duct without the fluid flowing into the pumping unit. The multifunction valve comprises a valve body that defines an inner bypass channel in which a shutter element is axially movable, an actuator member operatively associated with the shutter element and configured to move it from a closing position to an opening position of the bypass channel, and an elastic contrast element operatively associated with the shutter element and configured to keep it in the first closing position of the bypass channel when such shutter element is not actuated by the actuator member. The actuator member consists of a bias spring manufactured with a shape memory alloy, configured to move the shutter element from the first closing position to the second opening position of the bypass channel when a predefined temperature value is reached.

A system includes a pump, an inlet sensor, an outlet sensor, and a controller. The pump is configured for pumping fluid in a phacoemulsification system. The inlet sensor is coupled with an inlet port of the pump and is configured to sense an inlet temperature of the fluid at the inlet port. The outlet sensor is coupled with an outlet port of the pump and is configured to sense an outlet temperature of the fluid at the outlet port. The controller is configured to take a responsive action based a difference between the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature crossing a defined threshold.

Disclosed herein is an integrated pump system in which a motor is directly coupled to a pump, preferably using a modular connection. The integrated pump system may operate in a uni-directional or bi-directional mode. The integrated pump system incorporates an internal cooling channel which directs the returning low pressure hydraulic fluid past the controller and the motor for cooling purposes. The low pressure hydraulic fluid is also directly fed into the coupling between the motor and the pump to provide both cooling and lubrication.

An adapted elastomer compound, in which the adaptation is based at least in part on load performance data of a rotor/stator test coupon as evaluated on a test apparatus. The test coupon's stator section includes the original elastomer compound before adaptation thereof. The test apparatus includes a motor, a brake, and at least one sensor disposed to evaluate load performance data of the test coupon. The load performance data is the product of the process comprising the steps of: (a) rotating either the rotor section or the stator section on the test apparatus, wherein such rotation section actuates corresponding rotation of the other of the rotor section and the stator section; (b) applying a braking torque to the actuated rotor section or stator section; and (c) responsive to step (b), evaluating load performance data of the test coupon.

A refrigerant compressor unit, including a compressor housing and at least one compressor element that is arranged in the compressor housing, is movable by bearing and drive parts, and operates in at least one compressor chamber, at least one lubricant supply point arranged in the compressor housing for at least one of the bearing and drive parts and/or compressor element, and a lubricant supply line to the at least one lubricant supply point, wherein the lubricant supply line has a lubricant storage chamber through which lubricant flows and in which a lubricant presence sensor is arranged for detecting the presence of lubricant in the lubricant storage chamber.
