Compressor

A screw compressor, in particular for refrigeration systems, comprising a compressor housing () which at least partly encloses the compressor, an integrated suction gas filter () and a non-return valve () that is to be actuated by pressurized gas; the compressor housing () has grooves, in particular drilled or cast ducts () to which pressurized gas can be fed in order to control the non-return valve ().

Screw compressor

A screw compressor () comprising a compressing device (), in particular, at least one screw-type rotor (), which feeds a compressed medium to an oil separation device (). The oil separation device has a first volume (), a second volume () and a separating device () that separates the first volume () and the second volume () from one another. The separating device () includes a demister () that is located in a first region of the separating device (). A second region of the separating device () is designed as a partition () that has one or more oil communication openings ().

Withdrawable racks for power circuit breakers should be reliably switched. To this end, the movement of the plates of a shutter in the withdrawable rack can be blocked so that the shutter is not permitted to open unintentionally. In a special embodiment, the opening mechanism for the plates can have two V-shaped linkages that are connected to a telescopic rod. The telescopic rod can be locked by a locking element so that the shutter plates, which can be moved by sliders, can no longer be displaced.

A closure device for a withdrawable rack adapted for receiving power circuit breaker includes a plate arrangement having at least two plates provided with openings and movable relative to one another so that the plate arrangement is changeable between an open position in which the openings of the plates are in alignment and a closed position in which the openings are out of alignment. An actuating mechanism is acted upon by the power circuit breaker as it is inserted to cause a movement of at least one of the plates to thereby change the plate arrangement between the closed and open positions. The actuating mechanism includes two V-shaped linkage assemblies. Each linkage assembly has two legs connected by a hinge to allow the linkage assembly to spread apart, with one of the legs having a free end which is connected to the at least one of the plates, and a coupler is connected to the hinge. Both couplers are jointly articulated to actuating element.

A switching gas damper is for low voltage power switches, especially for low voltage power switches which can be inserted into low voltage switching installations. The switching gas damper is arranged above an arc extinguisher of the low voltage power switches and includes at least one inlet for switching gases and at least one outlet for damped deionised switching gases. The switching gas damper is provided with a carrier element which can be arranged directly adjacent to the arc extinguisher and can be fixed to a housing receiving the low voltage power switch. The carrier element forms at least one receiving chamber for a flow element creating a flow resistance for the switching gases, and the at least one receiving chamber can be closed by at least one closing element fixing the at least one flow element. The carrier element forms the at least one inlet and the at least one closing element forms the at least one outlet.

An air guidance device is for cooling a switch part of an electrical switch. It includes at least one air guidance element arranged at a distance from the switch part to be cooled, forming at least one air duct which runs vertically when the switch is in the installed position. The air duct includes an inlet area, which points downwards, for cooling air to flow therein, and having an outlet area, which points upwards, for cooling air to flow out thereof. In order to improve the heat dissipation, the air guidance element is shaped such that the inlet area tapers in the direction of the outlet area.

A low-voltage circuit breaker includes at least one switching-on catch for initiating a switching-on process, and at least one insertion mechanism, which has an insertion shaft, for insertion of the circuit breaker into the withdrawable frame, or for removal of the circuit breaker from the withdrawable frame. The low-voltage circuit breaker further includes at least one power-transmitting system, connected to the insertion shaft, and connectable to the switching-on catch such that the switching-on catch can be moved to an activated state from a deactivated state at a defined unloading position of the movement, and can be moved to a deactivated state from an activated state at a defined reset position in the movement.

A device is for controlling the movement of a blocking mechanism in an electric switch which is displaceably arranged in a switch cell. The device includes a push element and an oblique surface, whereby the oblique surface extends in the fitting position of the device in the direction of the travel of the switch and the push element can be maintained in a displaceable manner dependent on the position of a door of the switch cell in the switch cell. The push element co-operates with the oblique surface, acting on the blocking mechanism in such a way that the blocking mechanism is located in a release position when the door is closed and in a blocking position when the door is open. The device can be constructed in a simple manner by virtue of the fact that the oblique surface is inclined in a perpendicular position with respect to the direction of travel of the switch and the displacement path of the push element extends in a transversal manner with respect to the direction of travel.

A retrofittable earthling device includes a first contact arranged on the switching device and a second contact arranged on the module frame by way of a contact carrier. They are adjacently spring-mounted, during the movement of the switching device from its point of separation into its operating position. In order to relieve the contact carrier, in one such device, of electrodynamic effects and thus to make the same easy to assemble, the contact carrier includes a first partial region for connecting an earthing device, and a second partial region which can be connected to the second contact, in addition to a contact strip connecting the two partial regions. The first partial region can be connected to the module frame in a fixed manner and the second partial region is held on the rear wall of the module frame, with transversal play in relation to the direction of movement of the switching device.

An electric switch includes a drive shaft that can be actuated by means of a hand crank and a blocking mechanism for blocking actuation of the drive shaft. The hand crank has a shaft that can be displaced along the drive shaft and that is protected against removal by the drive shaft and a crank arm that is axially fixed on the shaft and is wound by the shaft. In order to configure that blocking mechanism in such a way that a blocking force substantially smaller in comparison with the torque of the drive shaft is needed in order to block actuation of the drive shaft, a recess is provided on the front side of the switch, into which the crank arm can be lowered in an anti-rotational manner by displacing the shaft, wherein the blocking mechanism that has been activated for blocking fixes the shaft axially once the crank arm has been lowered into the recess.
