  • Integrated lubrication cooling system
    Patent number: 9458967
    Abstract: A system including a lubrication system, including a block with a first cooler interface, a second cooler interface, and at least one lubrication passage extending through the block, wherein the at least one lubrication passage fluidly couples to the first cooler interface and to the second cooler interface, a first cooler including a first mating cooler interface coupled to the first cooler interface, and a second cooler including a mating second cooler interface coupled to the second cooler interface, and a first valve within the block, wherein the first valve is configured to control a flow of a lubricant through the at least one lubrication passage relative to the first cooler and/or the second cooler.
    Type: Grant

  • Flow distributed buffered/educted gas seal
    Patent number: 9033651
    Abstract: A system, in certain embodiments, includes a seal assembly having a seal body. The seal body includes an inlet buffer port and an outlet eduction port. The inlet buffer port is configured to receive a compressed buffer gas, such as shop air, which is injected into the inlet buffer port. The compressed buffer gas blocks the flow of a compressed process gas, such as land fill gas, by opposing the flow of the compressed process gas through the seal assembly. Both the compressed buffer gas and the compressed process gas may be expelled through the outlet eduction port.
