Sep 13, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/939742

Inventors:

Omar M. Kabir - Waller TX, US
John C. Bartos - Tomball TX, US

Assignee:

Cameron International Corporation - Houston TX

International Classification:

F16K 31/02

US Classification:

251314, 25112911, 25112912

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for controlling the flow through a compressor with a valve assembly comprising a rotating body having an outer surface. The rotating body is disposed within a valve cavity in the compressor. A non-contacting seal operates to limit the flow of fluid between the outer surface of the rotating body and the valve cavity. An aperture is disposed through the rotating body. A drive assembly rotates the rotating body such that the aperture intermittently allows fluid to bypass the non-contacting seal as the rotating body is rotated.

US Classification:

417 53, 417243, 165 47, 165145

Abstract:

Provided is a method including routing a compressed gas from a centrifugal gas compressor through at least one of a plurality of air coolers, and directing air flow through the plurality of air coolers, wherein the plurality of air coolers are arranged adjacent to one another in a single plane that is transverse to the air flow. Further provided is a method including removing tube cores from a cooler chamber of a liquid cooler of a centrifugal gas compressor, coupling a chamber port of the cooler chamber to a first port of an air cooler, and coupling a second port of the air cooler to a compressor port of a stage of the centrifugal gas compressor.

US Classification:

417244, 417313, 165 47, 165145

Abstract:

An air-cooled multi-stage compression system using centrifugal compressors is disclosed. It is packaged in a comparable volume to a water-cooled unit having the same driver horsepower. The performance is comparable and opportunities for use of the waste heat are available. Existing water-cooled units can be retrofit to run in an air-cooled mode. Special applications such as combined air compression and nitrogen compression useful in air separation applications are presented. The circulating cooling air can make the unit into an air filter of its surrounding space. Cooling air is drawn through the enclosure before being forced through the coolers above. This air movement can cool compressor housings, the control panel and the drive motors mounted in the enclosure.

12/620506

Inventors:

Omar M. Kabir - Waller TX, US
John C. Bartos - Tomball TX, US

Assignee:

CAMERON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION - Houston TX

International Classification:

F04B 39/00

US Classification:

417313, 417540

Abstract:

A system, in certain embodiments, includes a pulsation dampener for minimizing the adverse effects of pulsation waves in a process fluid generated by a reciprocating compressor. The pulsation dampener may be installed proximate to the source of the pulsation waves and external to a main flow path of the process fluid being compressed within the reciprocating compressor. More specifically, in certain embodiments, the pulsation dampener may be a pulsation dampening valve enclosure configured to at least partially encase a valve assembly of the reciprocating compressor. The pulsation dampening valve enclosure may be filled with a pulsation dampening material, such as a wire mesh material, a viscoelastic material, an elastomeric material, or a combination thereof.
