Abstract: A torque estimating device of a compressor for an ejector-type refrigerant cycle device includes a high pressure detector disposed to detect a physical amount having a relation with a high-pressure side refrigerant pressure of a refrigerant cycle, an evaporation pressure detector disposed to detect a physical amount having a relation with a refrigerant evaporation pressure in a suction side evaporator, a pressurizing estimating portion for estimating a pressurizing amount in a pressure increasing portion of an ejector to be increased in accordance with an increase of a pressure difference between the high-pressure side refrigerant pressure and the refrigerant evaporation pressure, and a suction pressure estimating portion for estimating a suction refrigerant pressure of the compressor by using the pressurizing amount estimated by the pressurizing estimating portion. Thus, a drive torque of the compressor can be accurately estimated in the ejector-type refrigerant cycle device.

Abstract: A power transmission device includes a pulley 1, a hub 2 and a power shut-off member 3 and further includes a cap 4, one face of which is fastened to an end portion of a rotary shaft 5 by screwing and the other face of which is fastened to the power shut-off member by screwing, so as to transmit power from the power shut-off member to the rotary shaft 5. Power is transmitted between the rotary shaft and the cap not only by this screw fastening portion but also by utilizing a seat surface B or both seat surfaces A and B, wherein the seat surface A is formed on a forward end face 5a provided on the rotary shaft and the seat surface B is formed on a screw root portion (an expanded diameter portion) 5d.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to protect a shaft seal of a variable displacement compressor of an air conditioner for a vehicle by the control thereof. The air conditioner for a vehicle comprises a variable displacement swash plate type compressor for compressing a refrigerant and a control unit for controlling the compressor. The compressor is driven by an engine of a vehicle and is normally connected to the engine at all times. The control unit controls the compressor such that when the compressor is in an off state the compressor turns on and operates at predetermined time intervals of 10 minutes and for one minute, and the revolution speed of the compressor is equal to or higher than predetermined 6,000 rpm.
