Abstract: Disclosed is a novel fluorocarbon comprising carbon atoms and fluorine atoms and having no double bond, the atomic ratio of fluorine to carbon atoms being 1.50 to 1.93, which exhibits a liquid state at room temperature. The liquid fluorocarbon has excellent water- and oil-repellent properties and can advantageously be used, for example, not only as a water- and oil-repellent but also as an inert liquid, a heat transfer agent and a vapor phase soldering liquid in various fields, especially in the electronic industry. The liquid fluorocarbon can be obtained directly from a pitch or from a pitch fluoride which can be obtained by direct fluorination of a pitch.

Abstract: A rotary fluid pump of a non-lubrication type having a pump cavity formed within a cylindrical stator housing and a pair of recessed end head assembles. A drive shaft is eccentrically journalled in the end heads with a rotor mounted thereon with vanes slidably disposed in radial grooves in the rotor. A pair of sealing plates disposed between the ends of the stator having and the end heads divide the pump cavity into a pair of end chambers and an intermediate rotor chamber. An outlet port provides fluid communication between the rotor chamber and a discharge hole in one of the end chambers so that fluid passage for discharge to the atmosphere is provided through the rotor chamber, outlet port, end chamber and discharge hole.

Abstract: A rotary fluid pump of the type having a housing body and a pair of recessed end heads assembled to opposite ends of the housing. A pair of resilient sealing plates may be disposed between the side of the housing and the recessed end heads to define a rotor chamber having a rotor with slidable vanes mounted thereon. Fluid inlet and outlet ports adapted to communicate with the rotor chamber are formed either in the sealing plates or in the end heads to provide pairs of inlet and outlet ports.

Abstract: A rotary fluid pump having a rotor with carbon vanes disposed in a rotor chamber. A cylindrical aluminum sleeve is force fitted into a mating arrangement with the inner peripheral surface of the rotor housing. The aluminum sleeve reduces the friction between the housing and the vanes. The sleeve may be of the same axial length or shorter than the rotor housing. If it is equal end seal plates are employed to provide the necessary expansion gap or end washers are employed at the housing to increase the effective axial length.

The ports are formed as protrusions in the end plates towards the end chambers, as recesses therein or extending as openings into the end heads.

Abstract: A dry rotary fluid pump or compressor includes a rotor eccentrically supported in a rotor chamber generally defined by a stator housing and two end heads. Two side plates each interposed between the housing and each of the end heads form end chambers between the respective side plates and end heads.

The side plates are formed of a material having an abrasion resistance higher than that of at least the opposite side faces of the rotor.
