Patents by Inventor Robert L. Oppenheim

Robert L. Oppenheim has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9091268
    Abstract: A multi-staged screw compressor system includes a gearbox, a drive gear located in the gearbox, and a first, second and third screw compressor that are fastened to the gearbox and coupled to the drive gear such that the first, second, and third screw compressors are all driven in common by the drive gear. During operation the first screw compressor compresses a flow of gaseous fluid from an inlet pressure to a first intermediate pressure, the second screw compressor compresses the flow of fluid from the first intermediate pressure to a second intermediate pressure, and the third screw compressor compresses the flow of fluid from the second intermediate pressure to a final pressure. The final pressure is at least thirty times the inlet pressure.

  • Patent number: 8342829
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multi step helical screw compressor unit which consists of a drive housing (90), wherein a first, second, and third helical screw compressor (60, 70, 80) are secured in a protruding manner parallel to each other and are driven together by a drive toothed wheel in the drive housing. A gas-like fluid is compressed by the first helical screw compressor (60) at a first intermediate pressure of approximately 3.5 bars, by the second helical screw compressor (70) at a second intermediate pressure of approximately 12 bars and by the third helical screw compressor (80) at an end pressure of approximately 40 bars. The driven toothed wheels (65, 75) of the first and the second helical screw compressors are in contact with the drive toothed wheel (95) above the axes thereof, when the driven toothed wheel (85) of the third helical screw compressor (80) is in contact with the drive toothed wheel (95) in the vicinity of the deepest point thereof (T).
