Abstract: A hydraulic valve includes a cage defining a first port, a second port, and a third port that is disposed between the first port and the second port along a longitudinal axis. A first biased poppet is movable along the longitudinal axis relative to the first port. A second biased poppet is movable along the longitudinal axis relative to the second port. The hydraulic valve also includes an actuator and a connecting rod. The connecting rod coupled to the actuator and both of the poppets. The actuator is configured to move the connecting rod along the longitudinal axis such that in a first position, the first poppet opens the first port so the first port is in fluid communication with the third port, and in a second position, the second poppet opens the second port so the second port is in fluid communication with the third port.

Abstract: An electric compressor includes an electric motor including a rotor and stator and a shaft rotating with the rotor to drive a compressor impeller. Bearings support the shaft. A housing encloses the impeller shaft, the bearings and the electric motor, and a sensor for sensing a condition within the housing. A control for the electric motor receives information from the sensor indicative of the potential of migrated refrigerant when the electric motor is not running. The control is operable to actuate a countermeasure to deliver heat into the housing to boil off the migrated refrigerant. A method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A four-way reversing valve for a high capacity reversible heat pump compressor includes a housing with four ports, namely a discharge port, a suction port, an evaporator port and a condenser port. It further includes a conically shaped rotor provided rotatably inside the housing for varying flow paths between the four ports, wherein a large diameter face of the rotor comprises two separated openings, wherein a first opening fluidly connects the large diameter face to a small diameter face of the rotor via a first fluid conduit and a second opening fluidly connects the large diameter face to a radially outer portion of the rotor via a second fluid conduit. The disclosure further discloses a set having two or more four-way reversing valves.

Abstract: A pressure sensor arrangement includes a housing with a sensor chamber and a pressure connector with a fluid inlet opening and a fluid channel, a subassembly with an electrical connector and a pressure sensing element, and a preformed resin component with a hole and an embedded carrier structure. A method for assembling a pressure sensor arrangement includes the steps of: positioning the preformed resin component at the pressure connector such that the fluid inlet opening and the hole communicate with each other, pressing the subassembly against the preformed resin component such that the pressure sensing element communicates with the hole, fixing the housing to the subassembly, and curing the resin component to create a hermetic connection between the pressure connector and the pressure sensing element.

Abstract: Hydrostatic radial piston unit comprising a front case part accommodating a drive shaft via shaft bearing means so that the drive shaft can rotate around a central axis relative to the front case part. A rear case part is attached on one side to the front case part and closed on another side in order to define an internal volume. A cylinder block is disposed in the internal volume and attached to the drive shaft in a torque proof manner. Axially disposed timing holes in the cylinder block connect radially oriented working volumes in the cylinder block with a cylinder block front face that is arranged perpendicularly to the central axis and faces away from the front case part. Integrally within the rear case part internal annular flow passages are formed and are connected to an inlet and an outlet of the radial piston unit and running basically in circumferential direction around the central axis.

Abstract: A connecting pipe assembly and a heat exchanger is disclosed. The connecting pipe assembly includes: a pipe; and a first flange extending towards a radial outside from an outer peripheral surface of the pipe. The pipe includes a first insertion pipe section located on one side of the first flange in an axial direction of the pipe. Thereby the quality of the heat exchanger is improved.

Abstract: A housing assembly for use in a heat exchange system includes an aluminium housing with at least two fluid ports, wherein each fluid port is connected to a bi-metal connector, wherein the bi-metal connector includes an inner copper layer and an outer stainless steel layer, and wherein the aluminium housing includes connection portions for connecting the bi-metal connectors.

Abstract: The braking systems of motorized and motor-assisted vehicles can be quickly assembled within a factory with secure connections. Controls of the braking systems are connected to brakes of the braking system using a snap-fit connection without introducing air into the brake fluid line. Once assembled, the controls and the brakes are securely connected until deliberately released, thereby providing a safe and reliable connection during operation of the motorized or motor-assisted vehicles.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes: a manifold having a manifold opening passing through a pipe wall of the manifold; a distribution pipe disposed in the manifold and having a distribution pipe opening passing through a pipe wall of the distribution pipe; and a connecting pipe assembly including a first connecting pipe The first connecting pipe is inserted in the manifold opening, has an end connected to the distribution pipe at the distribution pipe opening, and is in fluid communication with the distribution pipe. Thereby, the space occupied by the connecting pipe assembly in the manifold can be reduced.

Abstract: A coil assembly housing for housing the actuator of a stepper motor valve includes a snap feature for snap fitting the coil assembly housing to a valve house assembly, wherein the snap feature includes at least one protrusion pointing radially inward of the coil assembly housing, wherein the protrusion is provided for interacting with a recess of the valve house assembly, and wherein the protrusion is held inside the recess by a wall of a valve block, into which the valve house assembly and the snap feature are insertable. The disclosure also pertains to a valve house assembly, a valve block and a stepper motor valve having such components.

Abstract: A refrigerant compressor may include an auxiliary bearing arranged about a shaft. An interface of the auxiliary bearing and the shaft includes at least one groove.
