Abstract:
A process and an arrangement for controlling an air conditioner utilize an evaporator protected against icing and a refrigerant circulating system which includes at least one compressor and the evaporator. The evaporator temperature is sensed continuously and the compressor is deactivated when the evaporator temperature falls below a defined switch-off temperature. The compressor is activated again when the evaporator temperature exceeds a defined switch-on temperature which is at least equal to the switch-off temperature. The evaporator temperature gradient is determined by a corresponding control unit from the continuous sensing of the evaporator temperature. The switch-off temperature is variably defined as a function of the determined temperature gradient and is selected so as to rise with a negative evaporator temperature gradient, having an amount which increases, during operating phases with an activated compressor and/or with a falling positive evaporator temperature gradient during operating phases with a deactivated compressor.
Abstract:
A shaft seal of the rotating wheel shaft of a turbomachine includes a rotating wheel-side seal and a bearing-side seal between the bearing housing and the shaft. An oil outlet chamber is arranged between the rotating wheel-side seal and the bearing-side seal. The oil outlet chamber is delimited by a third seal between the bearing housing and the shaft, and a gas discharge chamber is arranged between the third seal and the rotating wheel-side seal. The construction is actively cooled by means of at least one splash oil bore in the region of the oil drain channel, as a result of which coking of the shaft seal can be prevented. The third seal separates the oil issuing from the oil outlet chamber from the gas issuing from the gas discharge chamber.
Abstract:
A device for sealing a bearing housing, which holds lubricating oil, from which a rotor supported inside the housing of an exhaust gas turbocharger is guided into a compressor housing, loadable by a mass flow of a charger. The device includes a fixed partition with a wall extension, a sealing disk fastened on a shaft of the rotor, a separating gap arranged between the sealing disk and the wall extension, and a drip device connected to an oil-collecting channel and directs lubricating oil collected in the oil-collecting channel into an oil drain by gravity. The drip device includes a drain-off surface for lubricating oil, which has a large axial distance from a rotating sealing disk which delimits the separating gap. Lubricating oil which can penetrate into the separating gap is guided into an oil drain of the bearing housing without interacting with the sealing disk.
