| 20100166588 | VANE PUMP WITH ROTATING CAM RING AND INCREASED UNDER VANE PRESSURE - An example vane pump comprises a shaft driving a rotor. The rotor has a plurality of vane grooves, with a vane received in each of the plurality of vane grooves, and an under vane chamber for communicating a pressurized fluid into the grooves to bias the vanes radially outwardly of the rotor. A cam ring is positioned radially outwardly of the rotor. The cam ring is free to rotate with the rotor through friction from the vanes as the rotor rotates. An inlet delivers a fluid to be pumped into an inlet chamber, and an outlet receives the fluid pumped by the vane pump. An outlet for the fluid biasing the vanes communicates to a main outlet through a passage including a valve to increase the pressure of the fluid in the grooves. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20140154121 | COMPRESSOR WITH CAPACITY MODULATION AND VARIABLE VOLUME RATIO - A compressor is provided and may include a shell assembly defining a suction pressure region and a discharge pressure region. A first scroll member may include a first discharge port and a first modulation port. A second scroll member may include a first variable volume ratio port. A capacity modulation valve assembly may be in fluid communication with the first modulation port and may be displaceable between open and closed positions to selectively provide communication between a first intermediate compression pocket and the suction pressure region via the first modulation port. A variable volume ratio valve assembly may be in fluid communication with the first variable volume ratio port. The variable volume ratio valve assembly may be displaceable between open and closed positions to selectively provide communication between a second intermediate compression pocket and the discharge pressure region via the first variable volume ratio port. | 06-05-2014 |
| 20150330388 | LUBRICANT VANE PUMP - A lubricant vane pump for providing a pressurized lubricant for an internal combustion engine includes a pump housing enclosing a pumping cavity comprising a charge zone and a discharge zone. A shiftable control ring envelops the pumping cavity. A pump rotor comprising vanes divides the pumping cavity into pumping chambers. The pump rotor is radially slidable and rotates in the control ring from the charge zone to the discharge zone. A spring chamber comprises a pretensioning element which pushes the control ring to a high pumping volume direction. A control chamber is configured so that a lubricant pressure in the control chamber moves the control ring to a low pumping volume direction against a force of the pretensioning element. A pumping cavity outlet port is connected to the control chamber. A pressure equilibration channel drains the lubricant from the pumping chamber in the discharge zone into the spring chamber. | 11-19-2015 |

| 20160025093 | COMPRESSOR WITH CAPACITY MODULATION AND VARIABLE VOLUME RATIO - A compressor is provided and may include a shell assembly defining a suction pressure region and a discharge pressure region. A first scroll member may include a first discharge port and a first modulation port. A second scroll member may include a first variable volume ratio port. A capacity modulation valve assembly may be in fluid communication with the first modulation port and may be displaceable between open and closed positions to selectively provide communication between a first intermediate compression pocket and the suction pressure region via the first modulation port. A variable volume ratio valve assembly may be in fluid communication with the first variable volume ratio port. The variable volume ratio valve assembly may be displaceable between open and closed positions to selectively provide communication between a second intermediate compression pocket and the discharge pressure region via the first variable volume ratio port. | 01-28-2016 |
| 20160069346 | VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT VANE PUMP WITH THERMO-COMPENSATION - A variable displacement vane pump has a control slide displaceable within its housing and a first control chamber and a second control chamber for receiving pressurized lubricant. A thermally adjustable control valve is provided in the housing for adjusting pump displacement based on a temperature of the lubricant. In addition to fluid communication channels in the control chambers, at least one vent port is provided in the second chamber. The control valve is configured to control pressure and fluid communication between the chambers along with the control slide. The control valve can help reduce pump displacement at lower temperatures and low engine speeds. At lower temperatures, the second control chamber can be pressurized by the first control chamber. At higher temperatures, the second control chamber can be vented through the control valve and/or the vent port, despite the position of the control slide. | 03-10-2016 |
