Abstract: Vane compressor comprising a stator, a rotor housed in the stator and provided with a body internally tangent to a side wall of the stator and with a plurality of vanes sliding in respective seats formed in the body of the rotor and pushed in a centrifugal direction to sealingly cooperate with the side wall of the stator, and a lubrication system comprising in combination one or more solid jet nozzles, arranged in the side wall of the stator to direct the solid jet towards the rotor, and at least one axial spray nozzle.

Abstract: An oil separator for a compressor comprising a tank and a lid for the tank, which comprises, in an integral manner, a valve body defining an outlet duct of the separator, a head of a coalescence filter, a body of an anti-condensate valve, a body of a minimum pressure valve and the relative connection ducts.

Abstract: A bladed expander for recovery of thermal energy from a working fluid, comprising a stator provided with an inlet port and an outlet port for the working fluid, a rotor housed within the stator, and a plurality of blades set between the rotor and the stator so as to delimit between them a plurality of compartments with variable volume that increases between the inlet port and the outlet port. The stator and the rotor are subjected to a heat exchange with a hot fluid so as to carry out a transformation of expansion during which the working fluid receives thermal energy from outside.

Abstract: A hydraulic circuit associated with an internal combustion engine comprising a main cooling circuit of the engine provided with a circulation pump for a cooling fluid, and an auxiliary preheating circuit branched from the main circuit; the pump is a rotary volumetric pump dimensioned so as to generate, at least during a warm-up transient of the engine, a flow rate greater than that required for the cooling of the engine; at least one fraction of the flow rate generated by the pump is sent to the auxiliary circuit where it recovers heat from a fluid at higher temperature, such as the exhaust gases and/or the supercharging compressed air of the engine, and gives it to a fluid at lower temperature, such as for example the engine oil or the passenger compartment air.
