20090071324 | WATER-COOLED PISTON COMPRESSOR - A water-cooled piston compressor having at least one air-compressing piston, which can be driven with means for producing a linearly oscillating drive force and which is accommodated in an axially movable manner in a cylinder housing which is closed at the end face via a cylinder head and is provided with water-cooling means, wherein the water-cooling means comprise a cylinder housing which is formed with a double wall and on whose end face facing the cylinder head a plurality of cooling openings are arranged, via which coolant flowing through the double-walled cylinder housing comes into contact with the region of the cylinder head. | 03-19-2009 |
20110030552 | COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM UTILIZING TWO-PHASE FLOW TO FACILITATE HEAT EXCHANGE - A compressed-air energy storage system according to embodiments of the present invention comprises a reversible mechanism to compress and expand air, one or more compressed air storage tanks, a control system, one or more heat exchangers, and, in certain embodiments of the invention, a motor-generator. The reversible air compressor-expander uses mechanical power to compress air (when it is acting as a compressor) and converts the energy stored in compressed air to mechanical power (when it is acting as an expander). In certain embodiments, the compressor-expander comprises one or more stages, each stage consisting of pressure vessel (the “pressure cell”) partially filled with water or other liquid. In some embodiments, the pressure vessel communicates with one or more cylinder devices to exchange air and liquid with the cylinder chamber(s) thereof. Suitable valving allows air to enter and leave the pressure cell and cylinder device, if present, under electronic control. | 02-10-2011 |
20110247488 | HIGH-PRESSURE PUMP - A high-pressure pump includes a plunger for pressurizing a fuel, a cylinder accommodating the plunger reciprocatably in its axial direction and a pump body. The pump body defines a pressurization chamber, a low-pressure fuel passage hydraulically connecting a fuel inlet and the pressurization chamber, and a discharge passage. The pump body further defines a cylindrical space around the cylinder. The fuel flows into the cylindrical space from the low-pressure fuel passage so as to cool the cylinder. The entire outer surface of the cylinder can be surely cooled. | 10-13-2011 |
20130047839 | ACTIVATION UNIT WITH AN ACTUATOR - An activation unit is disclosed having at least one actuator having a variable length disposed around at least one first axis. The activation unit operatively interacts with an activation element mounted so that it can be bi-directionally deflected along a second axis. The front side of the actuator is indirectly or directly engaged with a first piston, which can be deflected along the first axis in a mechanically positively driven manner. The first piston has a front side facing away from the actuator which axially borders at least regions of a transfer medium on one side. The transfer medium is radially surrounded relative to a first axis by a housing radially to the first axis, and axially borders at least regionally a front side of at least one second piston. The at least second piston can be deflected in a mechanically positively driven manner, and engages the activation element directly or indirectly. An actively variable and/or passive temperature control medium is provided on and/or in the housing that is in indirect or direct thermal contact with the transfer medium. | 02-28-2013 |
20140208938 | CYLINDER HEAD FOR A TWO-STAGE RECIPROCATING PISTON COMPRESSOR - The invention relates to a cylinder head ( | 07-31-2014 |
20150059569 | COMPRESSION APPARATUS - A compression apparatus in the present invention includes a compressor including a cylinder for compressing a gas, a gas cooler for cooling the gas compressed in the cylinder, and a circulation passage for guiding the gas compressed in the cylinder into the gas cooler. The gas cooler is diffusion bonded to the cylinder. In order to reduce the size of the compression apparatus, the circulation passage extends through an area in which the gas cooler and the cylinder face each other. At least areas surrounding the area are diffusion bonded. | 03-05-2015 |
20150345486 | OIL-FREE AIR COMPRESSOR HAVING VENTED CYLINDER SUPPORTS - A compressor frame structure is provided for providing flow paths of cooling substance near an upper region of a cylinder, and includes a center ring on the frame structure having an opening for accommodating insertion of the cylinder, a plurality of flow channels near the upper region of the cylinder around an inner surface of the frame structure, and wherein the plurality of flow channels include a plurality of outer flow channels around an outer circumferential surface of the center ring, and a plurality of inner flow channels around an inner circumferential surface of the center ring. | 12-03-2015 |
