  • Preventing deformation of frame on a reciprocating compressor
    Patent number: 10087921
    Abstract: A stability mechanism that can reduce deformation of a frame of a compressor. The stability mechanism can have a support member with an x-shaped configuration having a pair of peripheral members and diagonal components disposed therebetween. In use, the support member can work in combination with elongated “tie bars” to prevent deformation of the frame that may result from installation and/or use of the compressor.
    Type: Grant

  • Valveless reciprocating compressor
    Patent number: 9702350
    Abstract: A system, in certain embodiments, includes a compression cylinder configured to mount to a reciprocating compressor. The compression cylinder includes an intake port and a discharge port. The system also includes a piston assembly disposed within the compression cylinder. The piston assembly includes a piston, and a flow control member extending from the piston. The flow control member is configured to selectively block the intake port and the discharge port upon movement of the piston assembly relative to the compression cylinder.
