  • Patent number: 11959478
    Abstract: A dry rotary pump for recirculating an at least partially gaseous composition containing hydrogen. The dry rotary pump comprising a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are driven in rotation by a drive system in a gear chamber. The dry rotary pump comprises a first pair of seals and a second pair of seals, each comprising a first shaft seal and a second shaft seal. The dry rotary pump comprises a pressure equalization chamber in fluid connection with a gap between the first shaft seal and the second shaft seal to regulate pressure in the gap. The gear chamber is in fluid connection with the gap, and the pumping chamber is in fluid connection with the first shaft seal and the first shaft seal by a pulsation attenuation chamber.

  • Patent number: 7981185
    Abstract: Device for extracting droplets of a liquid agent suspended in a gaseous fluid displaced in a machine for displacement of such a gaseous fluid, the extraction device comprising a first part and a second part. The first part comprising a first element, which is of elongated shape, with a longitudinal axis termed the first axis, and is intended to ensure a filtration function inside the apparatus; and a second element, which is intended to enable at least one of the following functions, which are a function of grasping at least by hand the first part and a function of fixing this first part to the second part. The second part comprising a wall that defines a chamber which is intended to be traversed by the gaseous fluid to be filtered and receives said first element in a position termed the operational position; and comprises an opening that delimits a passageway sufficient for the insertion of the first element into the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20100135837
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pump housing (2) comprising a dual-wall casing (3) which enables a first fluid (4) to flow at least partially around a compression chamber (5) for compressing a second fluid (6), said compression being performed with at least two elongated rotors (7, 8). The dual-wall casing (3) comprises: (i) a first wall (10) which defines the volume of the compression chamber (5), and (ii) a second wall (11) which extends around the first wall (10) at a distance (12) from same such as to enable the first fluid (4) to flow therethrough. The pump housing (2) consists of two subassemblies (13, 14), namely a first subassembly (13) and a second subassembly (14), which are assembled along a sealing surface (15) that is essentially orthogonal to the longitudinal axes (70, 80) of the rotors (7, 8).
