A refrigerant control valve apparatus which maintains improved sealing ability while being restrained from being enlarged includes a housing including a first discharge port and a second discharge port which includes a smaller diameter than the first discharge port, a rotor rotatably housed at the housing, a bore portion provided at an outer wall portion of the rotor to control a flow of refrigerant relative to the first discharge port and the second discharge port, a second seal portion of the second discharge port being configured to make contact with an edge portion of the bore portion in a case where the rotor is specified at any rotation position for sending out the refrigerant to the second discharge port.

Refrigerant control valve apparatus

A refrigerant control valve device includes: a spherical rotor having an opening and rotating about a rotation axis; a housing including at least one circumferential port, and an axial port, the housing allowing a refrigerant to flow therein and the rotor being accommodated in the housing; at least one hole formed in the rotor and allowing the internal space of the rotor and the circumferential port to communicate with each other when the rotor rotates; a ring-shaped seal member installed coaxially with the circumferential port; a biasing member applying a biasing force to the seal member; a packing body provided between the housing and an outer diameter portion of the seal member; and a fixing member holding the packing body with the housing in a direction in which the circumferential port extends.

Refrigerant control valve device

Realized is a water pump having improved readiness of maintenance. The water pump includes a first unit having a rotatably driven drive shaft and a second unit having a partition wall and configured to circulate cooling medium in association with rotation of the drive shaft. The first unit and the second unit are connectable to and detachable from each other. The partition wall defines an insertion hole for the drive shaft. In this arrangement, there is provided a closing member for closing the insertion hole of the partition wall when the first unit is detached from the second unit.

Water pump

A water pump comprises a pump body, a cylindrical supporting portion, a pulley, a shaft portion, an impeller, a seal member, a pulley cylinder portion, a wall portion, a through-hole formed, a cover covering the wall portion and the pulley cylinder portion of the pulley from one side of the pulley, and the cover formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom portion and including a reservoir for receiving fluid that has leaked through the seal member.

A water pump includes a rotation member, a hollow shaft portion having an opening on one end and connected to the rotation member for unitary rotating with the rotation member, an impeller connected to the shaft portion for unitary rotating with the shaft portion, a body defining a fluid chamber in which the impeller is rotated, a bearing for rotatably supporting the shaft portion on the body, a sealing member provided between the shaft portion and the body for sealing the fluid chamber and a cover portion for substantively closing the opening of the shaft portion.

Water pump with a hollow shaft, seal, and drain opening therein

A solenoid valve incorporates a housing having an electric coil and a magnetic core built therein; a valve seat formed in the inside of the housing; a moving iron core adapted to be actuated by the electric coil and the magnetic core and having a valve member for opening/closing the valve seat; and a leaf spring fixed in the inside of the housing and adapted to warp at all times when the moving iron core acts. A flanged portion extends from the moving iron core in a direction perpendicular to the acting direction of the moving iron core and outward of the same. The flanged portion is provided with one face for causing the leaf spring to abut against the face of the moving iron core in the acting direction when the electric coil is energized.
