Abstract: A temperature management system, such as for a lubricant (3) contained in a lubricant reservoir (1) of a compressor system (2) for a heat pump that pumps a working medium, method for controlling a lubricant temperature, and heat pumps having a temperature management system, where the temperature of the lubricant (3) can be set flexibly, dynamically and in line with requirements, increasing the service life of the lubricant and improving the operating performance of the heat pump.

Abstract: A lubricant reservoir for a compressor, which can be part of a system of a heat pump, in particular, a high-temperature heat pump, having a holding chamber for lubricants with at least one holding-chamber cladding element at least partially outwardly limiting the holding chamber, and a temperature controller is integrated into the holding-chamber cladding element and/or arranged on it, wherein a heating and/or cooling medium can flow through the temperature controller, which may achieve an improved life cycle assessment in such a lubricant reservoir compared to the known systems, reduce the production or assembly effort, and enable lubricant cooling and lubricant heating.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat pump (12) for generating process heat and a system (10) comprising the heat pump (12). According to the invention, at least two heat sinks (32; 40; 44) are provided on the heat pump (12). The invention also relates to a method for generating process heat and a control device (54) for controlling the heat pump (12) in the method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a piston compressor, comprising a cylinder, a piston mounted for linear movement along a cylinder longitudinal axis (L), and a working chamber. The working chamber is fluidically connected to a working-medium inlet chamber by means of a first valve portion and to a working-medium outlet chamber by means of a second valve portion. The working chamber is delimited by an inner lateral surface, a piston end face and a working-chamber head portion, and the working-chamber head portion is formed from a geometric arrangement of the first and second valve portions. For improved efficiency, the first and second valve portions are arranged such that the working chamber is tapered toward the working-chamber heat portion.
