Currently the herringbone grooved journal bearing (HGJB) has applications in the domain of small, low power energy related applications, where high rotational speeds are required for reaching reasonable efficiency and where standard oil lubricated bearings ...
High-speed bearings and electrical motors are gradually getting available. This is of particular interest for the application of thermal turbomachinery. The availability of high speed bearing and motor components opens the way to new applications for low p ...
This review highlights the major advantages and challenges of mechanically driven heat pumps and refrigeration systems with focus on multi-temperature applications. Different design strategies are presented, including cycles with multi-stage compressors, e ...
The presence of oil in domestic heat pumps is a hindrance, particularly for enhanced surface evaporators and for advanced concepts based on two-stage cycles. Very compact oil-free dynamic compressor directly driven by high speed electric motors and support ...
The devlopment of domestic heat pump systems is mainly based on the use of volumetric oil lubricated compressors. Following the implementation of economizer based rotary compressors, which represented a major improvement step, one major opportunity to impr ...
A rotary piston machine having a housing (1) provided with a cavity (2) comprising a rotor (6', 6) rotating around a first axis and a compression plate (16) dividing said cavity into separate volumes, the machine further being provided with at least one in ...
