Abstract
470,806. Reciprocating compressors. JUNKERS, T. Jan. 13, 1937, No. 1039. Convention date, Jan. 21, 1936. [Class 8(i)] [Also in Group XXVI] Comprises means for balancing torque effects on pistons of compressors wherein oppositelymoving, free pistons are connected by unilaterally-arranged racks and pinions to maintain synchronism. The working-cylinder 1 and compressor cylinders 2, 3 carry opposed pistons 4, 5 connected by racks 6, 7 and a pinion 8, and the rack 6 carries a cam 10 which operates a fuel pump 9 towards the end of the inward stroke of the piston 4. The cam tends to tilt the pistons in the direction of the arrows 13, 14. Springs 15 are. arranged to exercise a counter tilt. Weighted plungers 16 operated by the springs are added to counter the effect of the roller riding up the slope of the cam. The forces produced by the acceleration or retardation of the racks 6, 7 are countered by the addition of masses 17, 18 to the pistons. The strength of the springs and the weight of the masses are inversely proportional to their distance from the central axis. The moment produced by the rotation movement of the pinion 8 can be balanced by augmenting the masses on the opposite side of the piston.
