  • Patent number: 10514041
    Abstract: A centrifugal compressor includes a rotation shaft, an impeller, a housing including a first chamber, a second chamber of which pressure is lower than the first chamber, and a partition wall that partitions the first chamber and the second chamber and includes a through hole through which the rotation shaft is inserted, and a seal member arranged in the housing. The seal member includes a gas seal and a support. When the rotation shaft is rotating, the gas seal surrounds an outer circumferential surface of the rotation shaft in a non-contact state in which dynamic pressure forms a gap between the gas seal and the outer circumferential surface of the rotation shaft. The support supports the gas seal in a state in which the gas seal is movable in a direction intersecting an axial direction of the rotation shaft.

  • Patent number: 9897091
    Abstract: In a compressor of the present invention, an intermediate pressure port through which a first discharge chamber and a motor chamber communicate with each other is formed in a front housing. A refrigerant having an intermediate pressure is discharged to the first discharge chamber. Consequently, it is possible to guide the refrigerant having the intermediate pressure in the first discharge chamber to the motor chamber, and cool an electric motor, which generates heat during actuation, with the refrigerant having the intermediate pressure. In the compressor, a first impeller and a second impeller are disposed such that large diameter portions of the first impeller and the second impeller face each other. The second impeller is smaller in diameter than the first impeller.

  • Patent number: 8491279
    Abstract: An electric pump for supplying a hydrogen gas to a fuel cell includes a rotary shaft rotatably inserted through an electric motor, a transmitting member provided on one of an outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft and an inner peripheral surface of the electric motor so as to be rotatable therewith, and a groove formed in the other of the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft and the inner peripheral surface of the electric motor for the transmitting member to be inserted therein. The groove transmits a rotary torque of the electric motor to the rotary shaft by contacting an inner surface of the groove and the transmitting member and has an opening width along a rotary direction of the rotary shaft which is larger than the width of the transmitting member. The groove and the transmitting member produce an impact torque when the electric pump is started.

  • Patent number: 8348635
    Abstract: The variable displacement gear pump for a loading system in an industrial vehicle has main and sub gear pump portions, suction, discharge and bypass passages, and check and opening valves. The main gear pump portion has main drive and driven gears, and has suction and discharge side spaces. The sub gear pump portion has sub drive and driven gears, and has suction and discharge side spaces. The bypass passage returns hydraulic fluid in the discharge-side space of the sub gear pump portion to the suction passage. The check valve prevents hydraulic fluid in the discharge-side space of the main gear pump portion from flowing to that of the sub gear pump portion. The opening valve is used for opening and closing the bypass passage, and closes the bypass passage due to a pressure in a discharge conduit of the loading system increased by the load applied to the loading system.

  • Patent number: 8287255
    Abstract: A variable displacement rotary pump includes a main pump unit, an auxiliary pump unit, a discharge passage, a bypass passage, a suction passage, a check valve and a control valve. The suction passage is in communication with the discharge passage through the bypass passage and a second discharge port. The check valve is disposed in the discharge passage for preventing fluid in a first discharge port of the main pump unit from flowing into the bypass passage. The control valve is operable for opening and closing the bypass passage. When the control valve opens the bypass passage and the check valve closes the discharge passage, flow rate of the fluid discharged from the discharge passage is reduced. A throttle passage is provided in the bypass passage or the control valve for regulating flow of the fluid in early phase of operation of the control valve to open the bypass passage.
