Abstract:
A scroll compressor for a motor vehicle air-conditioning system includes a compressor housing, two interleaving spirals within the compressor housing, of which one spiral is stationary and the other spiral is movable eccentrically on a circular orbit, whereby the volume of compression chambers formed between the spirals changes cyclically and refrigerant is suctioned in and compressed; at least one refrigerant outlet port for ejecting the compressed refrigerant in a wall, frontal to the spirals, of the compressor housing in the center of the stationary spiral, wherein in the spiral end region on the inner end of at least one of the two spirals the concave side of the spiral wall is provided with a cut that has the form of a cone segment with concave curvature, decreasing from the upper end in the direction toward the lower end of the spiral wall.
Abstract:
A compressor design includes a male rotor (10) having one or more helical lobes (12) and a female rotor (14) having one or more helical grooves (16). The male rotor is mounted on a first shaft and the female rotor is mounted on a second shaft. The male rotor is positioned in a first section of a chamber and the female rotor is positioned in a second section of the chamber. Fluid enters the chamber at an inlet, and when the rotors are driven, the lobes of the male rotor fit into the grooves of the female rotor, causing compression and movement of the fluid towards an outlet or discharge end where the compressed fluid is discharged. The configuration of the lobe and groove helix, the lobe and groove profile, and the outer diameter of the rotors can be varied in different combinations to form different rotors.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an indexing system for a rotor assembly where in one example the indexing system regulates the rotational location of drive rotors. In one example the rotors are configured to rotate about a shaft.
Abstract:
An eccentric screw pump with an annular outer part (10; 40; 74) and an inner part (12; 42; 72) arranged therein has an interior of the outer part (10; 40; 74) and an exterior of the inner part (12; 42; 72) tapering in a complementary manner towards an axial end (16; 46; 70). In the axial direction (X, W), the inner part (12; 42; 72) and the outer part (10; 40; 74) are movably received in relation to each other and the inner part (12; 42; 72) and/or the outer part (10; 40; 74) are configured in such a manner that pressure applied to the pressure side of the eccentric screw pump generates a force that acts upon the inner part (12; 42; 72) axially to the direction in which the inner part (12; 42; 72) tapers and/or a force that acts upon the outer part (10; 40; 74) in an opposite axial direction.
Abstract:
A single screw compressor structure includes a screw rotor and a casing. The screw rotor has a plurality of helical grooves formed in an outer peripheral surface thereof. The a casing houses the screw rotor. The screw rotor includes a main tapered portion having a tapered outer diameter that becomes larger from an intake side toward a discharge side of the screw rotor, and a reversely tapered portion that is located on a downstream side of a maximum outer diameter portion of the outer surface and on the discharge side of the main tapered portion. The reversely tapered portion has a reversely tapered outer diameter that becomes smaller as the reversely tapered portion extends away from the maximum outer diameter portion.

An indexing system for a rotor assembly where the indexing system can regulate the rotational location of drive rotors that are configured to rotate about a shaft in one form.
Abstract:
A vacuum pump having a screw mechanism and comprising two externally threaded rotors mounted on respective shafts in a pump body and adapted for counter-rotation therein with intermeshing of the rotor threads with close tolerances between the threads and internal surfaces of the pump body in order that gas may be pumped from a pump inlet to a pump outlet by action of the rotor threads, the root diameter of each rotor increases and the thread diameter of each rotor decreases in a direction from the pump inlet to the pump outlet, and wherein the pitch of the rotor threads decreases in a direction from the pump inlet to the pump outlet.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an adjustable rotor and/or stator, so that the interference fit and/or clearance can be adjusted. The rotor and/or stator are tapered to provide a difference in fit between the rotor and stator by longitudinal adjustment of their relative position. In one embodiment, the adjustment may occur while the PCP in mounted downhole in a wellbore. In another embodiment, the adjustment may occur automatically depending on sensor input of operating conditions of the PCP.
Abstract:
An eccentric screw pump for delivering solid-laden liquids includes a rotor and a stator within which the rotor is rotatably arranged. The rotor and stator are arranged and designed with respect to one another in such a way that at least one chamber is formed, which serves to transport the liquid. The eccentric screw pump has a drive motor for rotating the rotor, a control device for controlling the drive motor at least in a working state, in which the rotor is rotated, and an idle state, in which the rotor does not rotate, and an engagement unit, which is designed to set an engagement between the rotor and stator to an idle engagement in the idle state and to a working engagement in the working state. The idle engagement is less than the working engagement. A method for operating the eccentric screw pump is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A rotary piston and cylinder device (1) comprising: a rotor (2), comprising a rotor surface (2a), a piston (5) which extends from the rotor surface, a stator (4), a rotatable shutter (3), the rotor surface and the stator together defining an annular chamber, and the piston arranged to rotate, through the annular chamber, wherein when the chamber is viewed in axial cross-section, substantially a single surface of the stator in part defines the chamber (100).
