  • Hybrid drive system with an opposed-piston, internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 11982225
    Abstract: A hybrid drive system has two sources of driving power: a non-combustion drive system to provide mechanical torque and rotation to a driveshaft, and an opposed-piston, internal combustion engine configured to provide energy for the non-combustion drive system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 6, 2023
    Date of Patent: May 14, 2024
    Assignee: Achates Power, Inc.

  • AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE FOR INDUSTRIAL STEAM GENERATION
    Publication number: 20230296243
    Abstract: A system for generating steam for industrial heat. The system may include a plurality of heat pump cycles in thermal communication with each other and in thermal communication with a steam generation cycle. The plurality of heat pump cycles may include first and second heat pump cycles. The first heat pump circulates a first a working fluid and includes a first heat exchanger. The second heat pump cycle circulates a second working fluid and includes a second heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger transfers heat from the first to the second working fluid. The second heat exchanger transfers heat to a third working fluid in the steam generation cycle.

  • DUAL-CRANKSHAFT, OPPOSED-PISTON ENGINE WITH MECHANICALLY UNCOUPLED CRANKSHAFTS
    Publication number: 20210123389
    Abstract: An opposed-piston engine with two crankshafts includes a first power transducer coupled to a first crankshaft of the two crankshafts and a second power transducer coupled to a second crankshaft of the two crankshafts. The two crankshafts are not rotatably connected, and so are free to rotate independently of each other. Phase relationships between the crankshafts may be controlled by operating the power transducers to increase, or reduce, crankshaft torque. Changes in crankshaft phase relationships cause changes in opposed piston locations, which, in turn, enable control of engine performance factors.
