  • Patent number: 11913451
    Abstract: A screw compressor includes a first rotor and a second rotor, and each rotor is provided with a synchronisation gear. The screw compressor is further provided with an electric motor and one or two driving gears for driving the first rotor or second rotor. At least one of the synchronisation gears or driving gears is provided with spokes between a rim supporting a gear mesh and a corresponding gear hub.

  • Patent number: 11506093
    Abstract: Machine provided with a machine element (2) and an oil pump (4) and a motor (3) to drive the machine element (2) and the oil pump (4), whereby the oil pump (4) is provided with a shaft (13) with a rotor (12), whereby the oil pump (4) is provided to pump oil from an oil reservoir (5) via an inlet channel (8) to nozzles that lead into the motor (3) and/or machine element (2) to lubricate and/or cool one or more bearings or other machine components, characterized in that in the inlet channel (8), near the oil pump (4) a dam (16) is provided that is higher than the height (A) of the central axis (18) of the shaft (13) of the oil pump (4) minus the smallest diameter (B) of the rotor (12) of the oil pump (4) divided by two.

  • Patent number: 11085448
    Abstract: An oil circuit for lubrication and cooling of an oil-free compressor with an oil reservoir and a rotary oil pump to drive oil to the compressor element and/or the motor via an oil pipe. The rotary oil pump has a rotor mounted on a rotation shaft, and is driven by the motor of the compressor. The oil circuit is provided with a bypass pipe and a pressure-actuated bypass valve which guide a portion of the oil back to the oil reservoir without this portion of the oil passing through the compressor element and/or the motor during its way back to the oil reservoir. The oil circuit is further provided with an oil cooler in the bypass pipe. The bypass valve is in the oil pipe.

  • Patent number: 10704567
    Abstract: A compressor module for compressing gas composed of a compressor element with a housing with integrated compressor element cooler; a motor and a gas cooler for cooling the compressed gas originating from the compressor element. The gas cooler includes a primary section through which the gas to be cooled can be guided and a secondary section that is in heat-exchanging contact with the primary section. A first cooling circuit can guide a coolant through the secondary section of the gas cooler or through a section thereof and a second cooling circuit can guide a coolant through the compressor element cooler. The first cooling circuit and the second cooling circuit are joined together in series or in parallel and are guided to a common output.
