Patent number: 11384762Abstract: A cylindrical symmetric volumetric machine, includes a housing (2) with an inlet opening (3) and an outlet opening (4), with an outer rotor (6a) which is mounted rotatably in the housing (2) and an inner rotor (6b) which is mounted rotatably in the outer rotor (6a), whereby liquid is injected in the machine (1). At the outlet opening (4) on the level of the inner rotor (6b) and outer rotor (6a) a liquid separation takes place, whereby the separated liquid ends up in the machine (1) again, and in that the outer rotor (6a) has an axial extension (17) on the level of the outlet opening (4) which extends around this outlet opening (4) almost up against the housing (2) such that a space (19) is located between the axial extension (17) and the housing (2).Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2018Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: ATLAS COPCO AIRPOWER, NAAMLOZE VENNOOTSCHAPInventor: Erik Paul Fabry

Patent number: 9844760Abstract: An aerator for aerating water comprises a distribution system for distributing air below the water surface and a compressor with an air inlet and at least one air outlet. The compressor is configured to be placed below the water surface. The infiltration of water at the air inlet is prevented by an intake pipe with one open end above the water surface and the other open end has a watertight connection to the compressor. The distribution system has a watertight connection to the air outlet and, due to its nature or by at least one valve, can hold back water. The housing is in thermal contact with the water to cool the compressor. The compressor is a centrifugal compressor that comprises an impeller that is driven by a shaft that it is mounted on air bearings, magnetic bearings or both.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2013Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: ATLAS COPCO AIRPOWER, NAAMLOZE VENNOOTSCHAPInventor: Erik Paul Fabry
