A refrigerant compressor that enhances compressor efficiency by both reducing an amplitude of pressure pulsations and reducing pressure losses in a discharge muffler space into which is discharged a refrigerant compressed at a compression unit. A low-stage discharge muffler space is formed in the shape of a ring around a drive shaft. In the low-stage discharge muffler space, a discharge port rear guide is provided in the proximity of a discharge port through which is discharged the refrigerant compressed by a low-stage compression unit. The discharge port rear guide is provided at a flow path in one direction out of two flow paths from the discharge port to a communication port in different directions around the drive shaft, and prevents the refrigerant from flowing in that direction, thereby causing the refrigerant to circulate in a forward direction in the ring-shaped discharge muffler space. |

A scroll compressor includes a rotation shaft, a fixed scroll, a movable scroll, a compression chamber, and a shaft support. A movable member is movable in an axial direction of the rotation shaft toward and away from the movable scroll. A rotation restriction mechanism includes a pin and a hole that is loosely fitted into the hole. An orbital radius switching mechanism moves the movable member in a first direction when a rotation speed of the rotation shaft is increased, which decreases an orbital radius of the pin relative to the hole so that an orbital radius of the movable scroll is decreased, and moves the movable member in a second direction when the rotation speed of the rotation shaft is decreased, which increases the orbital radius of the pin relative to the hole so that the orbital radius of the movable scroll is increased. |

A rotor profile for a screw compressor includes a male rotor and a female rotor, which are operated in an operation space while being engaged with each other, wherein a rotor profile of the female rotor includes a curve having an operation contact point located around a pitch circle at a following-side of the female rotor, the operation contact point being contacted with the male rotor to operate the male rotor when the female rotor is operated, and the curve is configured with a quadratic function y=Lx2+Mx+N. Here, the constants L, M and N are values determined such that a slip ratio at the operation contact point is minimized. This rotor profile for a screw compressor minimizes a slip ratio at the operation contact point, thereby decreasing abrasion and reducing noise of the compressor. |

A pumping unit having a pump chamber with a rotor mounted in a rotatable manner within the chamber. The pumping chamber is formed by a circumferential wall and two end walls. The circumferential wall is formed on an annular collar of a pump part and has on its inner surface a track on which sealing bodies of a rotor roll. To avoid deformation of the pump part by hydraulic forces or by pressing-in forces, ribs are arranged on the outer surface of the circumferential wall which extend away from the pump chamber. A shoulder is arranged on the side of the end wall which is directed away from the pump chamber. The shoulder is connected by a press fit to the pump housing and has thin walls so that pressing forces do not result in any deformation to the end wall of the pump chamber. |

The orbiting piston and the vane divide in cyclic manner the cavity into a first and a second chamber with variable volume, which are mutually complementary and communicate with the inlet and the outlet. During a portion of its oscillation, the vane passes through the piston and is in contact with the side surface of the cavity, thereby separating the chambers in a fluid-tight manner. |

A method for attenuating hydraulic pump flow pulses is described. The method includes pumping a fluid at a first hydraulic flow rate to an operating device via the pump, the flow being in the form of discrete fluid pulses. Further, the method includes obtaining values of plurality of parameters related to the pulses produced by the pump and attenuating the pulses by modifying the first hydraulic flow rate to a second hydraulic flow rate based on the obtained values. |

A muffler is disclosed. In the muffler a throttling device that is controlled by the energy of the airflow to be muffled is provided in a pipeline of the airflow that needs to be muffled. The muffler is adjusted by itself according to random variety of the pulsing airflow, and can eliminate or reduce effectively the pulsation of the airflow and the related noise in the range of the low frequency and the middle frequency. The muffling effect of the muffler has no correlation with the volume of the muffler, and therefore the volume of the muffler can be reduced. |

A rotary blower with an isothermal air jacket having multiple interconnected and synchronized parallel multi-lobe rotors with the same number of lobes for propelling flow from a suction port to a discharge port of an inner casing without internal compression. The isothermal air jacket is shaped to surround the blower outer body, but is oversized to provide adequate flow spaces with outer skin of the blower to enable an effective cooling of the outlet casing and an effective heating of the inlet casing so that the whole casing temperature will tend to be more uniform and isothermal, resulting in a blower with less vibration, lower noise and longer blower life. |
