Abstract: A gas compression compact device comprised of: a) one or more centrifugal compressors; and b) a high speed axial flow permanent magnet synchronous electric motor. The electric motor and the compressor are directly coupled on a single axis and supported by passive magnetic and electrodynamic bearings, free of lubrication. The equipment does not use mechanic seals since the rotor is placed inside the pressure containment of the gas. The equipment does not require auxiliary systems for cooling, filtration, separation or feeding of lubricant fluids.

Abstract: A compact heat and electricity co-generation device comprised by: a) a heat generating system connected to a steam generator, a condenser and an internal working fluid, wherein said steam is obtained by external combustion of a suitable fuel in a boiler and/or by conduction of external hot gases to a boiler; y b) an electricity generator system comprised by: i) one or more radial and/or axial turbines; ii) an electric axial flow generator; and iii) an electronic control inverter. The fuel can be a solid, liquid or gaseous fuel. Both the turbine and the electric generator have passive magnetic bearings and electrodynamic bearings. The equipment does not use mechanical seals as all moving parts are housed within working fluid the pressure containment of the working fluid.
