Systems to drive a downhole pump include an enclosure body with a magnetically transparent wall. A magnetic driver or a stationary member with coil windings in slots is disposed outside the enclosure body. A magnetic follower or a movable member with one or more permanent magnets is disposed inside the enclosure body such that the magnetic follower or movable member is exposed to a different environment compared to the magnetic driver or stationary member. The magnetic driver and magnetic follower, or the stationary member and movable member, are separated by a gap containing at least a portion of the magnetically transparent wall. A prime mover is operatively coupled to the magnetic driver. A rod couples the magnetic follower or the movable member to the downhole pump. Movement of the rod with the magnetic follower or the movable member operates the pump.

A gas compressor includes a block part inside which a cylinder chamber is formed; a rotor rotatably housed in the cylinder chamber; and vanes provided on an outer circumferential portion of the rotor. The block part has a pressure supply part configured to supply pressure to backpressure spaces behind the vanes. This pressure supply part has an intermediate-pressure supply part which communicates with each backpressure space from an intake cycle to a compression cycle in the compression chamber, a first high-pressure supply part which communicates with the backpressure space from the compression cycle to a discharge cycle in the compression chamber, and a second high-pressure supply part which is formed between the intermediate-pressure supply part and the first high-pressure supply part independently of the first high-pressure supply part and which communicates with the backpressure space in a middle of the compression cycle in the compression chamber.

Provided is a motor rotor which, without changing an integral fastening structure relying on swage pins, increases resistance to the excessive excitation force of the motor rotor and which can easily prevent decreases in fastening strength; a motor that uses the motor rotor, and an electric compressor are also provided. This motor rotor is provided with a cylindrical rotor core comprising multiple laminated magnetic steel sheets, end plates and balance weights laminated on both ends of the rotor core, and multiple headed swage pins which are inserted from one side and which integrally fasten the rotor core, the end plates and the balance weights. The material of the balance weight arranged to the head of the swage pin is harder than that of the swage pin, and the material of the balance weight arranged to the swage part of the swage pin is softer than that of the swage pin.

A scroll device has a housing having a fixed scroll plate and an orbiting scroll plate mounted therein on an idler shaft, the fixed scroll plate having a side having a fixed interleaved involute scroll and an outward facing side, the orbiting scroll plate having a side that has an orbiting interleaved involute scroll, an inlet port for the introduction of a working fluid into the device, and a pressure plate positioned adjacent to the outward facing side of the fixed scroll plate.

A refrigeration system includes a compressor having a hermetically sealed housing and a compression mechanism which is positioned inside the housing; a condenser which is fluidly connected to the compressor; an evaporator which is fluidly connected between the condenser and the compressor; a magnetic coupling having a drive coupling half positioned outside the housing and a driven coupling half positioned inside the housing and separated from the drive coupling half by a separation wall portion of the housing; and a fluid conduit for communicating a portion of liquid refrigerant from the condenser to an inside surface of the separation wall portion. During operation, the liquid refrigerant from the condenser is evaporated on or adjacent the inside surface of the separation wall portion to thereby dissipate heat generated by magnetically induced eddy currents in the separation wall portion.

A coupling device can be disposed between a power source and a compressor to selectively couple the power source to the compressor. A control device can be configured to selectively move the coupling device between a disengaged configuration, wherein the power source is decoupled from the compressor, and an engaged configuration, wherein the power source is coupled to the compressor via the coupling device.

A multi-stage dry Roots vacuum pump, including a pump body, multi-stage Roots working units and a plurality of drive components. The pump body is provided with a plurality of independent working chambers, and airflow channels communicating the various working chambers; the airflow channels are communicated with outside; the Roots working units of each stage include driving Roots rotors and driven Roots rotors; the driving Roots rotors and driven Roots rotors are positioned in the working chambers; and the various drive components are respectively used for driving the driving Roots rotors and driven Roots rotors positioned in the various working chambers to rotate towards opposite directions at the same rotating speed. The Roots working units of various stages may be randomly distributed at various positions of the pump body on premise of ensuring that the airflow channels can communicate the working chambers of each stage.

A screw compressor is provided including a casing having a suction port and a discharge port, a male rotor rotatable relative to the casing about a first axis, a female rotor rotatable relative to the casing about a second axis, and a magnetic gear system. The magnetic gear system includes a first magnetic gear associated with the male rotor and a second magnetic gear associated with the female rotor. The first magnetic gear and the second magnetic gear are positioned such that a magnetic field of the first magnetic gear interacts with the second magnetic gear to drive rotation of the female rotor about the second axis.
