Mop buckets and methods of using the same are provided. A mop bucket includes a liquid-retaining portion that permits retained liquid to move in a liquid-movement direction extending from the first sidewall portion toward the second sidewall portion within a higher-momentum region and an energy-dissipation device disposed within the liquid-retaining portion and extending into the higher-momentum region, the energy-dissipation device being configured to inhibit buildup of momentum of liquid in the higher-momentum region along at least a portion of the liquid-movement direction by breaking surface tension of the liquid. The energy-dissipation device includes at least three baffles.

A compressor system is disclosed that includes at least one fluid compressor for compressing a working fluid and a lubrication supply system operable for supplying lubrication fluid to the compressor. A heat exchanger is provided for controlling the temperature of the lubrication fluid. The heat exchanger includes a housing for holding a plurality of lubrication fluid passageways. A shape memory alloy (SMA) member is positioned within at least one of the plurality of lubrication fluid passageways to increase turbulence in the lubrication fluid at relatively high temperatures.
