Patent number: 11668300Abstract: A sealing arrangement between a rotating plane surface on a rotor and a machine housing prevents flow of process fluid between an internal volume and an external volume of the machine housing. The sealing arrangement includes a piston arrangement, and a sealing bearing ring between the piston arrangement and the rotating plane surface. A fluid supply line supplies pressurized lubrication fluid through the machine housing to a piston cavity, wherein the piston arrangement further includes piston fluid channels and the bearing sealing ring includes lubrication conduits through the bearing sealing ring, corresponding with the piston fluid channels. The pressurized lubrication fluid is arranged for moving the piston arrangement against the sealing bearing ring and thus moving the sealing bearing ring against the sealing surface thus forming a sealing arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: TOCIRCLE INDUSTRIES ASInventor: Arne Høeg

Patent number: 11346222Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary sliding vane machine (1) for fluid processing, comprising a housing (2) with a cavity (4) with a rotor (9). Vanes (12) are arranged in outwardly directed slots (13) in the rotor (9), and relative sliding between the vanes and the rotor provides spaces with variable volumes in the rotational direction. Each vane is supported by hydrostatic slide bearings (20, 20?) on each side of the vane (12). Due to pressure changes of the process fluid, the vane (12) is tilted towards and away from bearing pads (27, 27, 87). The invention causes the bearing pads to adjust their position to the vane (12), and also causes a change of volume of a bearing fluid chamber (21, 21?, 81), which in turn effects a supply of bearing fluid to the slide bearing fluid film.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2018Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: TOCIRCLE INDUSTRIES ASInventors: Arne Høeg, Kristian Aase Løver

Vanes (12) are arranged in outwardly directed slots (13) in the rotor (9), and relative sliding between the vanes and the rotor provides spaces with variable volumes in the rotational direction. Each vane is supported by a vane bearing apparatus (102) comprising a slide bearing body (105) with a slot (13) forming a slide bearing for the vane (12), and a cylindrical convex face (116) facing away from the slot (13), and, on each side of the slot (13), a pivot bearing pad (106) with a cylindrical concave face (117) facing the slide bearing convex face (116), forming a pivot bearing for the vane.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2018Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: TOCIRCLE INDUSTRIES ASInventor: Arne Høeg

Patent number: 7409919Abstract: A cleaning device for a seismic streamer includes a housing placeable the exterior of the streamer. A turbine is associated with the housing and is configured to be rotationally driven by movement of the streamer through a body of water. A drive element is associated with the housing and is configured to convert rotational motion of the turbine to motive power to move the housing along the streamer. At least one cleaning element is associated with the housing and is cooperatively engaged with the exterior of the seismic streamer. A method for cleaning a streamer includes towing the streamer through the water. Motion of water is converted into motive power to move a cleaning device along the streamer.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2007Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Assignee: PGS Geophysical ASInventors: Jeroen Hoogeveen, Arne Høeg, Øyvind Overskeid, Sigmund Øvereng, Waldemar Nowakowski, Kenneth Karlsen
