Abstract:
A bearing having a valve seat for a rotary compressor which is made of austenitic cast iron with graphite crystallized in an austenite matrix in the form of an A type, C type or A/C combined type under the ISO classification, maximum length crystallized graphite being in a range of 0.45 to 1.4 mm.
Abstract:
A valved body for a hermetic motor-compressor for refrigerant fluids, such as a shaft support for a rotary-ring compressor, is constituted by a metal part comprising a wall, such as a flange, which adjoins a compression chamber for the fluid and has a fluid discharge port controlled by an automatic discharge valve. The wall has a through seats and the discharge valve comprises essentially:a cup-shaped insert of sintered steel, housed in the seat and comprising a peripheral skirt and an end wall located on the side nearer the compression chamber, with a central aperture constituting the discharge port and with an annular sealing rib surround the opening of the port within the cup,a cover applied and fixed to the cup-shaped insert on the outer face of the wall and having outlet openings for the fluid from the cavity of the insert,a disc obturator housed and guided within the insert so as to leave a passage for the fluid between the periphery of the obturator itself and the peripheral skirt of the insert, and cooperating with the sealing rib, anda disc spring interposed between the obturator and the cover for thrusting the obturator against the annular rib.
Abstract:
An apex seal for a rotary piston engine, the apex seal being made of cast iron and having an elongated shape, a roundish sliding surface, the upper portion (including the sliding surface) with a chilled structure containing a large proportion of cementite and the lower portion with at least one-third of the height of the seal and with no chilled structure; and a method of producing the same.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an air compressor (10) for supplying compressed air to a pneumatic system in a motor vehicle. The air compressor (10) comprises a crankcase (46), a cylinder housing (14) connected to the crankcase, a cylinder head (20), a crankshaft (40) rotatably mounted in the crankcase, a cylindrical piston (12) that is connected to the crankshaft (40) by a connecting rod (42). In order to load the compressed air with as little heat as possible, the crankcase (46), the cylinder housing (14), the cylinder head (20), and the piston (12) are made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and the at least one piston ring (54) or the at least one oil ring is made of gray cast iron or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
Abstract:
A nodular graphite cast iron, a method for fabricating a vane for a rotary compressor using nodular graphite cast iron, and a vane for a rotary compressor using the same are provided. The nodular graphite cast iron includes 3.4 wt % to 3.9 wt % of carbon (C), 2.0 wt % to 3.0 wt % of silicon (Si), 0.3 wt % to 1.0 wt % of manganese (Mn), 0.1 wt % to 1.0 wt % of chromium (Cr), 0.04 wt % to 0.15 wt % of titanium (Ti), less than 0.08 w % of phosphorus (P), less than 0.025 wt % of sulphur (S), 0.03 wt % to 0.05 wt % of magnesium (Mg), 0.02 wt % to 0.04 wt % of rare earth resource, iron (Fe) and impurities as the remnants, and includes a bainite matrix structure, nodular graphite, and 15 vol % to 35 vol % of carbide.
Abstract:
A vane pump is provided that may include a rotor having a plurality of slots formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof; a vane slidably inserted into each of the plurality of slots; and a cam ring configured to receive the rotor therein and having a inner circumferential surface in contact with an end portion of the vane. The rotor may be formed of nodular graphite cast iron, the vane may be formed of high speed tool steel, and the cam ring may be formed of alloy cast iron.
Abstract:
A rotatable drive shaft in the swash pump or turbine for liquids is supported by one bearing at each end. An integrated motor or dynamo uses the same two bearings. The compound first bearing supports a slanted section of the drive shaft placed inside the inner swash sphere, and transfers rotational power to the attached nutatable swash plate. The second bearing confines rotation of the drive shaft in a defined axis. Either one of the bearings is made to prevent axial movement of the drive shaft, preventing swash pump misalignment. A resilient drive, and an immersed pump are described.
