Abstract: A pressure wave generator (40) for driving one or more cryogenic refrigerator systems. The pressure wave generator (40) comprises a housing with one or more inlet/outlet ports (57,58) through which generated pressure waves of gas may pass through to drive a cryogenic refrigerator system or systems connected to the inlet/outlet ports (57,58). The pressure waves are generated by at least one pair of opposed diaphragms (41,42) located in the housing that are moveable in a reciprocating motion within the housing to create pressure waves in gas spaces (55,56) associated with each diaphragm (41,42). The gas spaces (55,56) each having associated inlet/outlet ports (57,58) through which the pressure waves may pass. An operable drive system is also provided to move the pair of diaphragms (41,42) in a reciprocating motion.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A thermodynamic force amplifying machine that causes a liquid working medium to perform useful work in a three-stroke working cycle (isochoric heating, isothermal expansion, contraction through regenerative cooling) making use of an external heat source and of an external cold source. The work performed by the auxiliary drive (12) at the displacer (11) is thereby much smaller than the one produced in the conversion system (18, 19) (force amplification). An inversely operating machine driven by an external power source acts as a heat pump/refrigerator.

Abstract: A Rankine cycle system having a working medium circulation circuit (110) that includes an evaporator (112), an expander (113), a condenser (114), and a feed pump (115) is provided in which a mixture of oil for lubricating the expander (113) and water, which is a working medium and has become mixed with the oil, is supplied to coalescer type water separating means (118), thus separating the water from the oil. The oil from which water has been separated in water separating means (118) is returned to the expander (113), and the water separated from the oil is returned to the working medium circulation circuit (110). It is thus unnecessary to replenish the working medium circulation circuit (110) with water or replenish the expander (113) with oil.

Abstract: An axial restraint system for use in a variable pipe diffuser having an inner ring rotatably positioned within an outer ring. The axial restraint system includes a housing fixedly mounted to the outer ring and having a mounting hole disposed therein in perpendicular arrangement to the inner ring. A shaft having a first end and a second end and having a bearing pad mounted to the first end. The second end of the shaft is threadably engaged within the mounting hole and rotatably operable to effect an adjustment of the position of the bearing pad. The shaft is positioned such that the bearing pad contacts the inner ring and thereby limits the axial movement of the inner ring relative to the outer ring.
