Abstract: Even when abnormal heat generation occurs during operation in a state where the temperature of a compressor is not increased, abnormality cannot be detected. A fluid machine includes a fluid machine body; a motor that drives the fluid machine body; a temperature sensor that measures a temperature of the fluid machine body; and a control unit that controls the fluid machine body. The control unit changes a temperature threshold value based on at least one of a pressure of a fluid discharged by the fluid machine body and a frequency of a voltage input into the motor, and issues a notification when the temperature of the compressor body measured by the temperature sensor exceeds the temperature threshold value.

Abstract: An antilocking brake fluid pressure control unit for a vehicle includes a fluid pressure control device which receives an antilocking operation signal for controlling the pressure applied to a wheel brake. A pump in a parallel flow circuit returns a brake working fluid. A damping chamber (13) is connected to a fluid passage (9) between an outlet port of the pump and a feedback point (15). A filter is provided in the fluid passage (9) between the damping chamber (13) and the feedback point (15). Due to this structure, air bleeding from a brake piping system is simplified when assembling the brake system in a vehicle, and the time needed for charging a working fluid into the brake system is reduced.
