Abstract:
A method of operating a rolling piston compressor includes determining a pressure difference (ΔP) between a discharge pressure (Pd) within a compression volume and a suction pressure (Ps) within a suction volume; determining a pressure ratio (rp) equal to the discharge pressure (Pd) over the suction pressure (Ps); estimating a discharge pressure (Pd) based at least in part on the pressure difference (ΔP) and the pressure ratio (rp); determining that the discharge pressure (Pd) is greater than a predetermined pressure limit (Pd-limit); and lowering a target speed (ωtarget) of the rolling piston compressor.
Abstract:
A system includes a variable displacement pump (VDP) with a pump inlet and a pump outlet. The VDP is configured to receive a flow at the pump inlet at a first pressure and to outlet a flow from the pump outlet at a second pressure elevated relative to the first pressure. The VDP includes a variable displacement mechanism configured to vary the second pressure. A controller is operatively connected to a pressure sensor and to the variable displacement mechanism for control of the VDP. An output splitter is configured to split flow from the pump outlet to a first outlet branch and to a second outlet branch for supplying two different systems each having a different pressure schedule. The output splitter is operatively connected to the controller, which is configured to control the output splitter to regulate pressure in both of the first and second outlet branches.

Abstract:
A pump for an engine includes a suction chamber, a discharge chamber, and a piston at least partly received within a relief chamber. The piston has first and second passageways provided therein. The second passageway is located closer to a face of the piston than the first passageway. The piston is movable within the relief chamber, so that the volume of the fluid transfer from the suction chamber to the discharge chamber is varied according to a pressure in the relief chamber. The first and second passageways form fluid paths between the suction chamber and the discharge chamber at a first and second pressure in the relief chamber, respectively, the first pressure being less than the second pressure.

Abstract:
An air compressor comprising: a tank (50), a compression mechanism (30), a motor (5) and a control circuit (7). The control circuit (7) includes a CPU (70) and a storing unit (74) which stores a control program, the compressor operation history and a plurality of operation modes. Each of the operation modes is defined by two setting values: a reference restart pressure value and a motor rotational speed value, at least one of these values being different from among the plurality of modes. The control circuit (7) executes one of the plurality of modes as a target mode in which the control unit controls the motor to restart by comparing the pressure in the tank with the reference restart pressure and rotates the motor at the rotational speed of the target mode. The control circuit changes the target mode from the one of the plurality of modes to another one of the plurality of modes based on the compressor operation history.
