Abstract:
A modulating check valve and method of operating the modulating check valve adapted for mounting to an inlet of a compressor. The modulating check valve includes a flow section through which fluid flow. The flow section has an intake portal and an outlet portal connected to the inlet of the compressor. A flapper valve is disposed in the flow section to prevent backflow from the outlet portal to the intake portal. An actuator controls the flapper valve allowing the flapper valve to open, close and modulate the fluid flow from the intake portal to the outlet portal of the flow section in response to fluid pressure at an outlet of the compressor.
Abstract:
The invention provides a pump comprising a pump inlet, a pump outlet, at least two threaded rotors and a pressure controlled valve, the pressure controlled valve being capable of controlling re-circulation of fluid from the pump outlet to the pump inlet. The pressure controlled valve can be a control valve. The invention also provides a multiple stage pump assembly comprising at least two pumps arranged in series, wherein at least one of the pumps is the aforementioned pump.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the invention, a gerotor apparatus includes an outer gerotor having an outer gerotor chamber, an inner gerotor, at least a portion of which is disposed within the outer gerotor chamber, and a synchronizing apparatus operable to control the rotation of the inner gerotor relative to the outer gerotor. The inner gerotor includes one or more entrance passages operable to communicate a lubricant into the outer gerotor chamber.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention relate to a stator component for a pump housing. The stator component has a plurality of fluid inlet channels for conveying fluid to respective pumping chambers. The fluid inlet channels each have an inlet port for conveying fluid into the pumping chamber. A plurality of fluid transfer channels are provided for conveying fluid to a respective one of the fluid inlet channels. The fluid transfer channels each have an inlet for receiving pumped fluid. The stator component is adapted to receive at least one sealing member for inhibiting the conveyance of fluid into an associated one of the pumping chambers. Aspects of the present invention relate to a pump housing, a cover plate and a pump. Aspects of the present invention also relate to a method of converting a stator component.
Abstract:
Transmission between drive shaft and a driven shaft, which transmission includes a housing and at least a driven gearwheel that is mounted on the driven shaft and a drive gearwheel that is mounted on a drive shaft. The housing is provided with an outlet opening, which outlet opening is placed in the radial extension of one of the gearwheels.
Abstract:
An internal gear pump includes a pinion and an annulus as a return pump in a hydraulic vehicle brake system. The internal gear pump further includes an axial disk and an intermediate piece. The intermediate piece is configured to be acted upon by an outlet pressure of the internal gear pump and press the axial disk against a side face of the pinion and of the annulus.
Abstract:
A method of machining, with a formed tool, a first rotor and a second rotor with mutually complementary meshing threads involves rotating a first workpiece about a longitudinal axis of the workpiece. The tool makes one or more passes along the longitudinal axis of the workpiece as the workpiece rotates so as to remove material, thereby forming the flanks of each helix of the first rotor's thread. The value of at least one of the parameters that collectively define the relative position and relative movement of the workpiece and formed tool is varied during each pass so as to vary the lead of the thread. The above steps are repeated for a second workpiece, thereby forming the second rotor. Adjustments are made to at least one of said parameters during one or more of the passes in order to maintain mutually complementary shapes of the threads of the rotors.
Abstract:
A gear pump device of this disclosure includes: a gear pump; a casing; and a seal mechanism, wherein the seal mechanism includes: an annular rubber member; an outer member; and an inner member, which has an outer peripheral wall on which the annular rubber member is mounted, the inner member fitted into an inner side of the outer member and contacting on an inner wall face of the outer shell, wherein the outer peripheral wall of the inner member is provided with a collar portion that generates a propulsive force towards the inner wall face of the outer shell of the casing by a contact pressure of the annular rubber member based on a discharge pressure of the gear pump, and the collar portion forms a pressure receiving face to increase the propulsive force as the contact pressure of the annular rubber member increases according to an increase of the discharge pressure.
