Patent number: 12060875Abstract: Devices and methods for operating a diaphragm compressor. Embodiments of the present disclosure comprise an oil piston being driven to pressurize work oil against the diaphragm of the compressor. In embodiments, an injection pump provides a supplemental flow of work oil in the region of pressurized fluid, and such pump may be part of an actively controlled system. In embodiments, a pressure relief valve vents an overpump flow of work oil, and such valve may be variable. Embodiments provide feedback and control mechanisms, including control of the injection pump and the relief valve.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2021Date of Patent: August 13, 2024Assignee: PDC Machines Inc.Inventors: Guy Babbitt, Chris Turner, Bryce Whitehill, Michael Sprengel, Noah Schaich, Kyle Palmiscno, Alex Beckerman, Kareem Afzal, Carl T. Johnson

Patent number: 12055135Abstract: Devices and methods for operating a diaphragm compressor system provide high output pressure and high throughput. In some force coupled embodiments, pressures on an actuator piston are balanced by high-pressure recovery or medium-pressure shuffling arrangements. In some embodiments, modular diaphragm compressors are stacked with a clamping mechanism pressing the compressor modules together. In embodiments, multiple stacks are provided as stages of a pressurization process. In embodiments, a main stage valve controls one or more pressure circuits for one or more hydraulic actuators of compressor modules. In embodiments, orifices configured for damping are incorporated to control actuator piston movement within a compressor module.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2022Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: PDC Machines, Inc.Inventors: Chris Turner, Guy Babbitt, Alex Beckerman, Bryce Whitehill, Garrett Casassa
