  • Patent number: 11268513
    Abstract: A screw compressor for a utility vehicle has at least one housing with at least one housing cover and with at least one rotor housing, at least one baffle plate and at least one seal. In the assembled state, an oil sump is present in the housing, wherein, with regard to the assembled state, the seal is arranged between housing cover and rotor housing and projects out of the oil sump. The seal at least partially separates the interior of the housing cover from the interior of the rotor housing. With regard to the assembled state, in the case of a substantially horizontal orientation of the screw-type compressor and in the case of a substantially horizontal orientation of the oil sump, the baffle plate is oriented substantially parallel to the upper level of the oil sump.

  • Patent number: 10753349
    Abstract: A compressor has a crankcase in which a crankshaft is rotatably mounted in a crankspace. The crankcase contains at least one cylinder space in which a piston, mounted eccentrically on the crankshaft by way of a connecting rod, can be driven in reciprocating motion. The crankshaft is connected, via a gearing having a modulus m, to a drive source, wherein the gear wheel arranged on the crankshaft engages with the gear wheel on the drive source. The axis of rotation of the crankshaft is offset with respect to the center axis of the cylinder space by an amount dl which is a whole multiple of m/2. The center axis of the cylinder space is understood as the axis which proceeds from the center point of the base area of the cylinder space, perpendicular to this base area, and along which the piston moves.

  • Patent number: 10746166
    Abstract: An arrangement has a housing, which has a receptacle or an opening, and a cylindrical insert, which is mounted in the receptacle or opening via at least one interference fit. The insert has a peripheral groove, and therefore the insert is both fastened against the housing and sealed against the housing in a liquid- and/or gas-tight manner by way of material of the insert and/or housing that has been pressed into the groove during the assembly. The material of the insert and/or of the housing is displaced in the case of an interference fit. The groove provides a defined location to which the material can preferably flow. After the assembly has been concluded, the insert is locked against the housing by the material located in the groove. At the same time, the material acts as a seal between the insert and the housing. A separate seal in the region of the press fit becomes dispensable.

  • Patent number: 10480499
    Abstract: A crankcase assembly for a reciprocating machine is provided in which a crankcase having at least one cylinder with a wet cylinder liner arranged therein. A cylinder head for charging and discharging pressurized gas is mounted on the crankcase and a cylinder head gasket for preventing leakage of pressurized gas out of the cylinder is arranged between the crankcase and the cylinder head and is running circumferentially spaced from the inner wall of the cylinder liner. A circumferential coolant channel is formed between the inner crankcase wall and an outer wall of the cylinder liner, wherein a lower sealing means is arranged between the inner crankcase wall and the cylinder liner on the crankshaft side of the coolant channel for preventing leakage of coolant fluid. An upper sealing means is arranged between the inner crankcase wall and the cylinder liner on the cylinder head side of the coolant channel for preventing leakage of coolant fluid.
