Patent number: 10316841Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a compressor that includes a corrosion-resistant film formed on the surface of a casing having a complicated shape. A compressor pumps gas in a compression chamber formed by a casing, the casing is made of cast iron, and a layer made of a mixture of iron nitride and a compound of iron, nitrogen, and carbon and an oxide layer made of triiron tetraoxide are formed on the surface of the casing. Accordingly, since the corrosion resistance of the casing, which includes a film formed by a gas soft-nitriding treatment and an oxidation treatment, is improved, the generation of rust is suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to provide a compressor in which galling or sticking caused by rust occurs less.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukiko Ikeda, Masakatsu Okaya, Yuuichi Yanagase

Patent number: 9944880Abstract: In order to prevent deterioration in performance of an oil-free screw compressor and scuffing caused by rust, surfaces of both male and female rotors are coated with heat-resistance coatings containing a solid lubricant. A coating contains Polyimide resin to which Molybdenum disulfide, as a solid lubricant, and Aluminum oxide and Titanium oxide, as additives, are added. Accordingly, it is possible to realize a coating that is higher in heat resistance and longer in lifetime than a conventional one.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2014Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignees: HITACHI INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT SYSTEMS CO., LTD., KAWAMURA RESEARCH LABORATORIES, INC.Inventors: Yukiko Ikeda, Kazuaki Shiinoki, Masakatsu Okaya, Natsuki Kawabata, Masahiro Kawamura, Iwao Aoki
