  • Fluid separator for a displacement machine and a method for separating lubricant and working fluid in a displacement machine
    Patent number: 11486281
    Abstract: A displacement machine is for acting on a working fluid and is provided with a lubricant and working fluid separator. The fluid separator has a separator volume constrained by a shielding member, a first fluid channel providing fluid communication between a first and second inner volumes and the separator volume, a second fluid channel providing fluid communication between the separator volume and a working fluid return volume. The fluid separator, the first fluid channel and the second fluid channel are fully contained within a full volume of the displacement machine. A method is for separating lubricant and working fluid in a displacement machine.

  • External heat engine device
    Patent number: 9874175
    Abstract: An external-heat engine device working on a Rankine cycle, and preferably an organic Rankine cycle. The external-heat engine, which is designed to give operational advantages, includes a cylinder block, a top cover and a bottom tray with sealing surfaces arranged to be joined together and to rest against complementarily fitting covers, each sealing surface resting sealingly against only one opposite sealing surface.
