Abstract: An electrostatic spray device includes a liquid sprayer including a nozzle that spouts a liquid; a voltage applicator that applies a voltage between the liquid sprayer and a heteropolar portion functioning as a pole opposite a pole of the liquid sprayer to generate an electrostatic force for causing the liquid to separate from a distal end of the nozzle in a charging state; and a stabilization electrode that maintains a stable spraying state of the liquid even when a pressure is applied to the liquid to supply the nozzle with the liquid. The stabilization electrode has an electric potential identical to an electric potential of the liquid sprayer, and is disposed near the nozzle such that a jet portion formed at a front of the nozzle by a linear extension of the liquid has a length longer than a length of the jet portion before the stabilization electrode is provided.

Abstract: A scroll fluid machine includes fixed and orbiting scrolls which define a compression chamber; a land which divides the compression chamber into first-stage and second-stage compression chambers; a wrap groove defined in a spiral shape along a tip of a fixed wrap of the fixed scroll; an intermediate groove defined in the land; a seal member; and an intermediate seal member. The land includes a first-stage outlet in communication with the first-stage compression chamber and a second-stage inlet in communication with the second-stage compression chamber. The wrap groove includes an outer peripheral wrap groove adjacent to the land on a radially outward side and an inner peripheral wrap groove adjacent to the land on a radially inward side. The intermediate groove is in communication with the outer and inner peripheral wrap grooves. The seal member is fitted in the wrap groove except the outer and inner wrap grooves.

Abstract: A claw pump includes: a housing; two rotating shafts which are disposed parallel; a pair of rotors respectively fixed to the two rotating shafts; a rotary drive device driving the pair of rotors; and a suction port and discharge ports formed in a partition wall of the housing. The discharge ports are constituted by a first discharge port and a second discharge port. The first discharge port is formed at a position that communicates with an initial stage compression space formed at an initial stage of a compression stroke in a compression space that is formed by joining a first pocket and a second pocket. The claw pump includes an opening/closing mechanism which opens the first discharge port when a pressure of the initial stage compression space reaches a threshold and closes the first discharge port when the pressure does not reach the threshold.

Abstract: A package type fluid machine includes at least one intake port which is provided in a housing and communicates with an installation region of a plurality of fluid machine units; a plurality of exhaust paths which is provided inside the housing, and includes a first exhaust path which allows gas passed through the fluid machine of the plurality of fluid machine units to flow, and a second exhaust path different from the first exhaust path; and a single exhaust port which is provided in the housing, communicates with downstream end portions of the plurality of exhaust paths, and collects and discharges the gas flowed through the plurality of exhaust paths.

Abstract: A scroll expander includes a driving scroll body having a first axis line a driven scroll body having a second axis line shifted with respect to the first axis line, a bearing plate including two plates coupled to the driven scroll body and having the second axis line a cylindrical driving pin attached to the driving scroll body, and a cylindrical guide ring attached to the bearing plate and having an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the driving pin. The driving pin includes an outer circumferential surface in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the guide ring. A hard film including diamond-like carbon is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the driving pin. The inner circumferential surface of the guide ring includes a polymer resin material with self-lubricity.

Abstract: A spray gun including a nozzle portion in which a substantially V-shaped groove is formed in a circular section of a truncated conical front end with a cone angle ranging from 20° to 90°, and an internal hole is opened as a liquid ejecting port by forming the substantially V-shaped groove; and a gas cap including a cap face which is provided with an atomized gas opening portion having an opening diameter larger than the circular section, the gas cap forming a circular slit-like gap between the gas cap and an outer periphery of the truncated conical front end, the gap being configured to eject gas for atomizing liquid. The circular section of the truncated conical front end has a diameter ranging from 0.8 mm to 2.8 mm. The atomized gas opening portion has the opening diameter equal to or larger than 1.0 mm and smaller than 3.0 mm.

Abstract: A scroll expander includes: a driving scroll body having a first axis line as a rotary shaft line; a driven scroll body having, as a rotary shaft, a second axis line shifted with respect to the first axis line; a bearing plate having the second axis line as a rotary shaft; a cylindrical driving pin attached to the driving scroll body; and a cylindrical guide ring attached to the bearing plate and having an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the driving pin. Four driving pins are disposed on the circumference of a circle around the first axis line at an equal interval. Four guide rings are disposed on the circumference of a circle around the second axis line at the equal interval so as to correspond to the four driving pins.

Abstract: In a pump chamber (12), a male rotor (20) having claw portions and a female rotor (24) having recesses into which the claw portions enter are secured to rotating shafts (18a and 18b), respectively. The female rotor is provided with hollows on an upstream side in the rotational direction of the female rotor relative to a plane L containing the rotating shafts. For the hollows, the disposed position, size and configuration are selected so that a compression pocket P and a discharge opening remain in communication with each other through the hollow throughout the time from when the compression pocket stops communicating with the discharge opening and separates from the discharge opening until the compression pocket gradually reduces to disappear, and so that the hollow stops communicating with the discharge opening at the same time as the compression pocket disappears.

Abstract: A seal groove is cut in the distal end face of a wrap of a fixed scroll, with a tip seal being fitted in the seal groove. Swelling members are interposed between both side faces of the tip seal and corresponding opposite side faces of the wrap. Condensed liquid of working medium w and water condensed from steam contained in the working medium w that are present between the tip seal and an end plate provide a sealing effect. When the swelling members swell upon absorbing the condensed liquids, they exert a strong pressing force on the tip seal and the wrap, thereby firmly retaining the tip seal in position. This prevents the tip seal from being pressed against the end plate, so that wear of the tip seal is reduced.
