20150267702 | System and Method for Improved Performance of Gerotor Compressors and Expanders - A system and method are presented for improved performance of gerotor compressors and expanders. Certain aspects of the disclosure reduce porting losses in a gerotor system. Other aspects of the disclosure provide for reduced deflection in lobes of an outer rotor of a gerotor system. Still other aspects of the disclosure provide for reduced leakage through tight gaps between components of a gerotor system. | 09-24-2015 |
20150211788 | Modified Claude Process for Producing Liquefied Gas - A system and method for liquefying gas are provided. The method includes combining an input gas and a first recycle stream to form a first blended stream, and producing a cooled first blended stream and a heated second blended stream by passing the first blended stream and a second blended stream through a heat exchanger. The method also includes producing a mixture of gas and liquefied gas from the cooled first blended stream using a first expander, and producing the liquefied gas at an outlet. The method further includes producing a second recycle stream from the gas from the output of the first expander using a first compressor, and combining the second recycle stream and a third recycle stream to form the second blended stream. The method still further includes producing the first recycle stream from the heated second blended stream using a second compressor, and producing the third recycle stream from the first recycle stream using a second expander. | 07-30-2015 |
20130192192 | OPEN BRAYTON BOTTOMING CYCLE AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME - According to one embodiment, an open brayton bottoming cycle includes a heat exchanger configured between a compressor and an expander. The heat exchanger is configured to receive heat from a heat source and supply at least a portion of the exhaust heat to an expander using a fluid. The compressor configured to supply compressed fluid to the heat exchanger. The expander has a shaft connected to the compressor and configured to supply energy to the compressor. At least one of the compressor or the expander has an efficiency greater than 80 percent. | 08-01-2013 |
20100213786 | ELECTRIC MACHINE HAVING A HIGH-TORQUE SWITCHED RELUCTANCE MOTOR - According to one embodiment of the present invention, an electric machine comprises a stator and a rotor. The stator has at least one stator pole with a first leg and a second leg. The rotor has at least one rotor pole. The rotor rotates relate to the stator. The at least one rotor is configured to rotate between the first leg and the second leg of the at least one stator pole. | 08-26-2010 |
20100003152 | Gerotor apparatus for a quasi-isothermal brayton cycle engine - According to one embodiment of the invention, a gerotor apparatus includes a first gerotor, a second gerotor, and a synchronizing system operable to synchronize a rotation of the first gerotor with a rotation of the second gerotor. The synchronizing system includes a cam plate coupled to the first gerotor, wherein the cam plate includes a plurality of cams, and an alignment plate coupled to the second gerotor. The alignment plate includes at least one alignment member, wherein the plurality of cams and the at least one alignment member interact to synchronize a rotation of the first gerotor with a rotation of the second gerotor. | 01-07-2010 |
20080253901 | Jet Ejector System and Method - According to one embodiment of the invention, a jet ejector method includes providing a primary jet ejector having a primary inlet stream, coupling one or more secondary jet ejectors to the primary jet ejector such that all of the jet ejectors are in a cascaded arrangement, bleeding off a portion of the primary inlet stream and directing the portion of the primary inlet stream to the secondary jet ejector that is closest to the primary jet ejector in the cascaded arrangement, and directing a motive fluid into the secondary jet ejector that is farthest from the primary jet ejector in the cascaded arrangement. The method further includes, at each secondary jet ejector, receiving at least some of the portion of the primary inlet stream and at least some of the motive fluid to create respective mixtures within the secondary jet ejectors, and at each secondary jet ejector, directing at least a portion of the respective mixture to adjacent jet ejectors in the cascaded arrangement. | 10-16-2008 |
