Embodiments are directed toward an engine. In some embodiments, the engine includes a water pump and a balancer shaft. In some embodiments, the water pump has a plain bearing. In some embodiments, plain bearing is supplied with pressurized oil. In some embodiments, the balancer shaft drives the water pump as well as cam shafts.

A pump device is for sucking and transferring objects. The pump device includes a pump housing, at least one impeller, an air withdrawal opening, at least one inlet opening defined in the pump housing, at least one outlet opening defined in the pump housing, and at least one chive device connected to the pump device. The pump housing includes a first short side defined as a semicircle or a partial circle and a second short side defined as a flat or plane surface, two long sides having a tapered shape extending from the first short side to the second short side, and two planar sides so as to define a closed pump housing. The at least one impeller is in the pump housing.

This refrigerant vessel component (2, 4, 7) for a refrigeration circuit (100), comprises a shell (10) extending along a longitudinal axis (X) delimiting an internal volume (V), in which circulates a refrigerant fluid (R), whereas the refrigerant vessel component (2) comprises an inner shell (20) located radially inside the shell (10) and extending on at least a portion of the circumference of the shell (10), and whereas the inner shell (20) is at least partly formed of perforated material.

A display system is provided that includes: a rotary machine device including a rotary machine and a drive machine causing the rotary machine to rotate; a display device capable of displaying a state of the rotary machine device; a detection section acquiring plural state quantities indicating the state of the rotary machine device; and a display control section displaying a chart on the display device on the basis of the plural state quantities acquired by the detection section, the chart being configured as a multidimensional chart in which the plural state quantities of the rotary machine device at specific time are plotted and the plural state quantities are set as values, each of which corresponds to each axis.

A motor vehicle pump arrangement includes a pumping unit and a mounting arrangement. The pumping unit has a substantially cylindrical pumping unit housing and at least one support protrusion which radially protrudes from the pumping unit housing. The mounting arrangement mounts the pumping unit to a motor vehicle mounting structure corresponding thereto. The mounting arrangement has a ring-shaped pump support body. The pump support body radially surrounds and supports the pumping unit and is attachable to the motor vehicle mounting structure. An axial side of the pump support body includes a castellated structure having axially extending merlons and protrusion receptacles. One protrusion receptacle is arranged between two adjacent merlons. The support protrusion engages with at least one of the protrusion receptacles.

A molten metal pump having a base member defining a pumping chamber is provided. The pumping chamber includes an opening in each of a top surface and a bottom surface of the base member. An impeller is disposed in the pumping chamber and is configured to draw molten metal through the opening in the bottom surface and expel the molten metal through an outlet in the base member. A flow diverter is disposed above the opening in the top surface.

An apparatus for cleaning aquaculture nets underwater. The appartus employs a propeller housing with a centrally disposed axis with a plurality of propeller blades extending therefrom. An outer perimeter ring secured to an outer tip of each propeller blade with a plurality of knuckles secured to the outer perimeter ring. Each knuckle including a curved surface constructed and arranged to strike the aquaculture net upon rotation of the blades for removal of growth by impact and shaking of the aquaculture net.

A fluid flow regulation assembly (1) includes: movable parts, for being actively mechanically driven, including at least one of a fluid flow regulating body for regulating a fluid flow and a rotor of a motor for driving the regulating body; and power electronics for controlling the motor. The movable parts and/or the power electronics are a source of vibration. Static parts are exposed to traveling vibrations originating from the source of vibration and include at least one of the group: a pump housing (3), a valve housing, a motor housing (5), a pump base and an electronics housing (7). The static parts include a structural element (11) with at least one vibration attenuation section (9) for attenuating vibrations: that originate from the source of vibration; travel along the structural element and have a vibration frequency above a pre-determined minimum vibration frequency (f.sub.min).

In one aspect, a pump is provided comprising a motor configured to rotate a shaft that is operably coupled to an impeller. The impeller is housed within a fluid chamber having an inlet and a discharge in fluid communication with the inlet. The fluid chamber further includes an outlet in a top portion thereof for venting air within the fluid chamber when the impeller is rotated by the motor. In other forms, a pump assembly is provided with an internal float switch integrated into the pump housing.

A fuel supply device includes: a sub-tank to be fixed on a bottom of a fuel tank, the sub-tank temporarily storing fuel in the fuel tank, an upper side of the sub-tank having an opening; a bracket attached to an opening side of the sub-tank; an electric pump that pumps up the fuel in the sub-tank and supplies the fuel to outside of the sub-tank; and multiple fitting portions arranged on an outer edge of the bracket and to fix the bracket to the sub-tank by being fitted to a plurality of receiving portions arranged on the opening of the sub-tank.
