144results about How to "Suppress pulsation" patented technology

A fluid pulse damper having increased dynamic range and sensitivity, being especially useful in suppressing pulsations in the fuel supply rail of an internal combustion engine. The damper is a longitudinal gas-filled plastic pillow having walls formed by opposed flexible short sides and opposed flexible long sides, and includes at least one internal self-contact element, and preferably a plurality of such elements. As the short sides flex, the elements make contact internally, shifting the damper into a different compression regime and extending the pressure/response over an increased range of pressures. A feature of some embodiments is that the inner surface within the contact elements is shifted into tension after the elements make contact, thereby stiffening the damper and increasing the damper's resistance to further deformation. The damper is formed of a plastic such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylenes, high flow polyetherimides, or tubing grade polyphthalamides.

Disclosed is a double reciprocation pump wherein a pump operation is always stable, and pulsation is dampened. A pair of spaces are formed in the inside of a case member (2) in the axial direction of the case member (2). Each of movable partition members (3) is disposed so as be deformable in each of the pair of spaces in the axial direction of each space, so that each space is divided into a pump chamber (5) and an operation chamber (6) in the axial direction of each space. Coupling shafts (11) couple the movable partition members (3) via extendable members (14) so that the movable members (3) can extend in the axial direction thereof. Valve mechanisms (27) introduce a working fluid to the operation chambers (6), and discharge the working fluid from the operation chambers (6). A controller (25) switches the valve mechanisms (27) so that a distance of an overlapped portion in which a compression stroke of one pump chamber (5) and a compression stroke of the other pump chamber (5) are partially overlapped to each other, is formed, on the basis of the output of a displacement sensor (23) which continuously detects the displacement of each of the pair of movable partition members (3).

A heat storage device that includes a first heat storage material and a second heat storage material, both of which accumulate heat by heat exchange with a heat afferent medium, and a changeover device that selectively either performs or intercepts heat storage by the second heat storage material. Accordingly, if the absorption of heat by the first heat storage material has decreased, the changeover device changes flow of the second heat storage material so that heat may be extracted from the heat afferent medium by the second heat storage medium. Thus, when the heat afferent medium is a refrigerant, it is possible to supercool the refrigerant thereof. Furthermore, since heat is extracted from the heat afferent medium and is accumulated, accordingly it is possible to anticipate effective utilization thereof.

A gas compressor has a cylinder chamber provided with discharge holes. Openings are in communication with the discharge holes, respectively. Discharge passages having the same length are connected with the openings, respectively. The ends of the discharge passages are connected with a common passage. During operation of the cylinder chamber, discharge valves cause the expelled gas to produce pulsations on the upstream side of the two openings. The pulsations are shifted in phase by a half wavelength. Noise due to the pulsations is reduced, because the pulsations of the expelled gas cancel out each other when the gas flows through the common passage.
