PACKING CUP FOR A RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR

摘要

The invention describes a packing cup (22) for the cylinder (10) of a reciprocating compressor. The packing cup (22) is formed from a first outer disc (28) and from a second inner disc (30), concentric to the first outer disc (28) and inside which a seat is formed for at least one sealing element for the piston (18). At least a part of the packing cup (22) is manufactured from a high- strength metallic alloy, obtained through a melting process and subsequent plastic deformation. The material is final-ly subjected to special heat treatments to improve the overall mechanical properties of the packing cup (22).
