Abstract: Machine provided with a machine element (2) and an oil pump (4) and a motor (3) to drive the machine element (2) and the oil pump (4), whereby the oil pump (4) is provided with a shaft (13) with a rotor (12), whereby the oil pump (4) is provided to pump oil from an oil reservoir (5) via an inlet channel (8) to nozzles that lead into the motor (3) and/or machine element (2) to lubricate and/or cool one or more bearings or other machine components, characterized in that in the inlet channel (8), near the oil pump (4) a dam (16) is provided that is higher than the height (A) of the central axis (18) of the shaft (13) of the oil pump (4) minus the smallest diameter (B) of the rotor (12) of the oil pump (4) divided by two.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for pump devices that include an adaptive cutwater and impeller arrangement. The power end of the pump device can be coupled to a motor to drive an impeller. The primer plate and impeller of the pump device are removable from the pump casing such that the primer plate and impeller can be replaced or modified as desired for different applications. In some examples, the pump casing includes a primer plate that is removable from the pump casing, where the primer plate includes a discharge cutwater tongue that is specifically spaced and sized to service an impeller of a desired design. The discharge cutwater tongue and impellers in the pump device may thus be serviced for replacement parts, as well as to modify the pump device for different fluids of different fluids properties or hydraulic requirements as may be needed in different applications.

Abstract: An exhaust turbocharger is enhanced in durability and reliability by making the valve body of the waste gate valve contact the seat face of the turbine housing at the opening of two exhaust gas bypass passages uniformly without being affected by the end face of the partition wall partitioning the two bypass passages, thereby preventing generation of vibration and vibration sound(chattering) of the valve body and the occurrence of gas leakage due to defective seating of the valve body against the seat face of the turbine housing.

Abstract: A turbocharger (10) for an internal combustion engine includes a compressor (12) having an impellor (16) disposed in a compressor chamber (18). The compressor chamber (18) receives fluid flow. A flow regulation mechanism (30) is disposed in the compressor (12) and includes a diffuser cover (32) and a recirculation gate (36). The diffuser cover (32) is moveably disposed in a diffuser passage (34) from a first position permitting fluid flow through the diffuser passage to a second position at least partially impeding the fluid flow. The recirculation gate (36) is moveably disposed in the compressor chamber (18) from a first position closing a recirculation groove (48) to a second position opening the recirculation groove to fluid communication with the compressor chamber.

Abstract: A centrifugal compressor is modified by forming a bypass between the leading edge of the compressor diffuser and a point downstream from the throat of the diffuser. The bypass may be unidirectional or bi-directional. In a bi-directional embodiment, an operable flow range of the compressor can be widened in both directions of a compressor map, i.e., extending both the surge and choke margins of a compressor at the expense of normal operating efficiencies. In a unidirectional bypass embodiment the flow range may be increased only in one direction, but there is no diminishment of efficiency of the compressor at normal operating conditions. The modification provides a simple expedient for increasing flow range without a need to redesign a compressor.

Abstract: A pumping apparatus for pumping a liquid from a source to a target including a motor, a first pump driven by the motor, a second pump driven by the motor and a separator in fluid communication with the first and second pump for separating a liquid received from a source into a gaseous component and a liquid component. The separator further diverts the gaseous component to the first pump and the liquid component to the second pump, wherein the first pump pumps the gaseous component back to the source and the second pump pumps the liquid component to a target.

Abstract: A centrifugal pump comprising a pump body (1) housing an impeller (3) keyed onto a motor shaft (4) and provided with a suction mouth (7) and a discharge mouth (8) capable of being made to communicate with, respectively, a suction pipe (9) and a discharge pipe (10). Between the suction mouth (7) and the suction pipe (9) there is provided a chamber (22) that communicates with a tank (11) situated at a level higher than the level of the pump, said tank being interposed between the discharge mouth (8) and the discharge pipe (10) and in communication with both of them and communicating also with the chamber (22) through a recirculation duct (28) having a section smaller than the section of the suction pipe (9).

Abstract: A self priming regenerative pump comprising an impeller with a plurality of vanes formed on its periphery, casings 1a and 1b which house said impeller in a rotatable manner and a pressurizing passage consisting of a gap between said casing and the outer periphery of said impeller, further comprising: a small diameter part formed at a position communicating with pressurizing passage of a discharge flow passage, in particular, formed smaller than the diameter of a discharge port; and; a passage for communicating between discharge port side of smaller diameter part of discharge flow passage and pressurizing passage in order to allow the fluid in discharge flow passage to return to pressurizing passage, wherein said position communicating with pressurizing passage is outwardly offset from the center of the width of impeller.
