One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a pump technology that provides for more effective and efficient transfer of liquids, such as petroleum products and components, to and through pipelines. Such a technology can comprise a type of external gear pump that creates higher flow, resulting in higher pressures in the pipeline, to move the liquids, while providing for longer pump life, simpler and less maintenance, and fewer undesired conditions, with a smaller footprint, in a cost-effective system.

The present invention discloses a compressor comprising: an outer pipe being connected from an outside to pass through the vessel; an inner pipe being closely inserted into the outer pipe; a compression mechanism including a suction hole formed of a blind hole and a suction valve in the suction hole. The suction valve includes a seal on a side facing an opening of the suction hole to seal an entire end of the inner pipe on a side facing the suction valve when the compressor stops.

Rotors formed by an additive manufacturing process are presented. In one example, a method of making a rotor is presented including defining a printing order for the application of a first material, and creating a plurality of lobes arranged helically about a central opening or a shaft by adding a first material in the printing order, wherein each of the plurality of lobes defines an outer surface.

One example of a gerotor pump includes an inner rotor comprising multiple teeth, the inner rotor configured to rotate about a first longitudinal gerotor pump axis. The gerotor pump also includes a hollow outer rotor including an outer surface and an inner surface having substantially identical contours, the inner surface configured to engage with the multiple teeth and to rotate about a second longitudinal gerotor pump axis. The pump includes a pump housing within which the inner rotor and the outer rotor are disposed, wherein the outer surface of the outer rotor defines gaps between the pump housing and the outer rotor.

A pump for applying fluid to an assembly, the pump including: a pump housing featuring a circumferential wall surrounding a delivery chamber of the pump, an end-facing housing wall including an outer end-facing surface of the housing which faces axially away from the delivery chamber, an inlet and an outlet for the fluid which emerges on the outer end-facing surface of the housing; a delivery member, moveable within the delivery chamber, for delivering the fluid from a low-pressure side of the pump which includes the inlet to a high-pressure side of the pump which includes the outlet; and an axial gasket which fully surrounds the outlet, in order to separate it from the low-pressure side, in an axial view onto the end-facing wall of the housing. The axial gasket is a spring gasket in the form of a disc spring or hollow-profile spring or V-profile spring or bellows spring.

A stator for a helical gear device includes a first section having first helically convoluted chamber with a set of radially inwardly extending lobes and a second section adjacent to the first section. The second section includes a stack of cutter disks. Each cutter disk includes a front surface, a rear surface, an interior surface defining a central opening extending from the front surface to the rear surface, a forward cutting edge, and a rearward cutting edge. The interior surface forms a same number of lobes for the central opening as the set of radially inwardly extending lobes in the first section. Each cutter disk is aligned along a common centerline, and each cutter disk is rotated slightly relative to each other to form a second helically convoluted chamber with a same pitch as the first helically convoluted chamber. The second helically convoluted chamber exposes, to materials passing through, portions of the forward cutting edge or the rearward cutting edge of each cutter disk.

The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to a resistant steel composition including a nickel content from about 1.75% MB to about 5.75% MB. Further, the present disclosure relates to a fluid end block assembly for use in a plunger pump apparatus, the fluid end assembly including: at least one cylinder body configured to receive a respective plunger from a power end; at least one suction bore configured to house a valve body, a valve seat, a spring; a spring retainer, with at least one of the cylinder body, the suction bore, and the spring retainer being composed of a steel composition having a nickel content from about 1.75% MB to about 5.75% MB.

A piston for an opposed-piston, internal combustion engine includes a crown with an end surface having a bowl shaped to form a combustion chamber with an end surface of an opposing piston in the opposed-piston engine. A substantially circumferential top land of the crown meets the end surface at a substantially circular peripheral edge, and a skirt comprising a sidewall extends from a substantially circumferential belt region of the crown. A wristpin bore with a wristpin axis opens through the sidewall. The end surface of the piston includes a pair of injection regions across which fuel is injected into the bowl. The injection regions are disposed in substantially diametrically-opposed quadrants of the end surface which are defined by the wristpin axis and a connecting rod envelope axis substantially orthogonal to the wristpin axis. Each injection region extends along a respective arc concentric with the substantially circular peripheral edge.

The present invention relates to a dry-running, oil-free orbiter vacuum pump with an improved bearing arrangement consisting of a material pairing capable of dry-running A pivot bearing with a bearing cavity open towards the pump chamber for receiving a pivot head of a blocking slide is arranged inside the pump housing. The orbiter vacuum pump capable of dry-running is characterized in particular in that at least one sliding surface of the pivot bearing allocated to the bearing cavity or to the pivot head is made of a composite material including a solid lubricant.
