Abstract: An apparatus includes a high side heat exchanger, a flash tank, a first load, a first oil separator, and a first compressor. The high side heat exchanger removes heat from a refrigerant. The flash tank stores the refrigerant. The first load uses the refrigerant to cool a first space proximate the first load. During a first mode of operation, the first oil separator separates an oil from the refrigerant from the first load and directs the refrigerant to an ejector. The ejector directs the refrigerant from the high side heat exchanger and the refrigerant form the first oil separator to the flash tank. The flash tank directs the refrigerant from the first oil separator to the first compressor. The first compressor compresses the refrigerant from the flash tank. During a second mode of operation, the first oil separator directs the oil separated from the refrigerant to the first compressor.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and process for exchanging an engine fluid for maintenance purposes. The fluid is accessed through the engines reservoir for that particular fluid. Used fluid is removed simultaneously with the introduction of new fluid. In order to maintain a constant level of fluid in the reservoir, and thus, prevent overflow or cavitation problems, a control module is presented that enables the user to control the rate of new fluid flow into the reservoir relative to the rate of used fluid and to activate and deactivate the new and used fluid pumps. During operation, the module is located in close proximity to the reservoir such that the user is able to observe the fluid level while relating the flows.

Abstract: A gearbox housing element having an oil outlet opening and a method for acting upon the liquid level of a gearbox is disclosed. The gearbox housing element has a device which can be brought into two working positions. In a first working position, the height of the liquid level in the gearbox housing during the filling and operation of the gearbox is predetermined by an upper opening of the device. In a second working position for draining the gearbox oil, an oil drain opening of the device is released, which opening is arranged below the upper opening and therefore permits draining of a large part of the oil disposed in the gearbox. The oil drain opening is opened by a tool which is introduced into the oil drain opening from outside the gear box housing. The gearbox can be an automatic gearbox for motor vehicles.

Abstract: An improved scroll compressor has condition responsive lubricant volume flow. The lubricant is preferably delivered to a tap positioned adjacent the suction chamber such that lubricant is delivered into the scroll compressor in a quantity which is desirable for normal operation of the scroll compressor. A valve is associated with the tap, and restricts the flow of lubricant through the tap to a first more restrictive non-actuated position. If operational conditions within the scroll compressor indicate that a greater lubricant flow would be desirable, the valve moves to an actuated position at which it is less restrictive to the flow of lubricant.

Abstract: A ring spindle assembly and process for re-lubricating a ring spindle having a vertically arranged bearing housing with a closed bottom. A step bearing is arranged in an oil-bath of the bearing housing for a rotating shaft. In the bearing housing, at least two lubricating channels are provided above the desired oil level of the oil-bath. When the shaft remains in the bearing housing, oil is filled into one lubricating channel until oil comes out of the other lubricating channel. A certain amount of oil is subsequently sucked out through the lubricating channel, so that the oil reaches the desired level.
