The screw compressor has an acoustic barrier integral with the compressor housing for use with a slide valve assembly that includes a piston connected to a slide valve. A shaft connecting the slide valve...

20060165544 - Apparatus having a housing and having at least one rotating component disposed in the housing: A rotating component is supported radially and/or axially in a housing of lightweight metal, in particular aluminum or an aluminum alloy, with at least a part of the housing at least partly forming a bearing of the rotating component. At least in the region of the bearing for the rotating...

20060165545 - Sintered metal rotor of a rotary piston pump: The invention relates to a sintered metal rotor of a rotary piston pump, comprising a pot-shaped base (1) and a journal element centrally projecting from the bottom of said base (1). Said journal element comprises a base section and an adjoining connecting claw section (2) for a coupling element to...

20060159579 - Motor-compressor unit mounting arrangement for compressors: A mounting arrangement for the motor-compressor unit of a compressor, and a method of assembling a compressor, particularly a scroll compressor. A fixed scroll member is attached to the compressor housing by an overlap between an annular shoulder on the fixed scroll member and the upper end of the housing....

20060159580 - Scroll compressor and method of machining scroll lap: By cutting-machining a side face of a scroll wrap with a non-rotational tool, swells in the perimeter direction have a smaller size. Thus, the leakage of compressed gas is prevented from being caused between side faces sliding to each other of the respective wraps of the stationary scroll and the...

20060159581 - Rotary fluid pressure device and improved brake assembly for use therewith: A rotary fluid pressure device defining a fluid inlet (17), an output shaft (37), and a housing (41,43) defining a brake chamber (61), a piston member (63,65) being disposed therein and biased toward an engaged position by a spring (69). Braking means (57,59) is associated with the piston and the...

20060153723 - Rotary fluid machinery: A cylinder body 2 is sandwiched between a front head 7 and a rear head 8 and a high pressure port 10 is formed in the front head 7. A roller 3 of a piston 5 is configured such that top and bottom end surfaces thereof have different widths. The...

20060153724 - Multiple elastomer layer progressing cavity stators: A progressing cavity stator and a method for fabricating such a stator are disclosed. The progressing cavity stator includes first and second elastomer layers fabricated from corresponding first and second elastomer materials. The first and second elastomer materials are selected to have at least one distinct material property. Exemplary embodiments...
