  • Publication number: 20230037800
    Abstract: The integrated expander and motor-compressor assembly comprises a compression section mounted between the two radial bearings on a trans-mission shaft, an expander cantilevered at a free end of the transmission shaft, a gas diffuser and a duct between the expander and a first radial bearing, the first radial bearing been the closest radial bearing to the expander. The gas diffuser diffuses a gas barrier which is sucked up by the duct.

  • Publication number: 20220074418
    Abstract: This motor-driven compressor equipped with multiple compression sections, the motor-driven compressor including, at least one housing, at least two drive shafts, the at least two drive shafts being rotatably supported in the housing by at least two bearings, a flexible coupling device connecting the drive shafts, an electric motor mounted on a first compression shaft of the at least two drive shafts, and at least two compression sections. A first compression section of the at least two compression sections is cantilevered at a free end of a first compression shaft of the at least two drive shafts, and a second compression section is mounted between two bearings on a second compression shaft of the at least two drive shafts.

  • Publication number: 20210404483
    Abstract: The balancing and sealing piston for an integrated motor compressor comprising a balancing piston designed to be mounted on a shaft of the motor compressor to compensate for the differential pressure being applied to the wheels of a compression section of the motor compressor between the suction pressure and the discharge pressure, and a sealing device surrounding the balancing piston and designed to be mounted on the case of the motor compressor to render the compression section tight. It furthermore comprises a gas extraction port, the axial position of the extraction port being determined such that the pressure value of the extracted gas is equal to a predetermined value less than the value of the discharge pressure.
