    Abstract: A centrifugal compressor impeller includes a plurality of blades on a front side that extend from a first axial side to an outer radial end of the impeller. The centrifugal impeller includes a back side having a nonlinear backwall. The backwall can include a flat area hear a bore of impeller, a flat area near a tip of the impeller, and a convex surface between the flat areas of the bore and the tip. In some forms the impeller further includes a concave surface between the convex surface and the tip to form an s-shape. A transition or inflection point can denote the change from convex to concave. The convex and/or concave surfaces can take any variety of forms such as constant radius sections and/or compound curves.

    Abstract: A fluid compressor system configured to supply a compressed working fluid including at least a first air-end and a second air-end, a first and second intercooler, and a coolant circulation system having at least one throttle valve. The first and second intercoolers are configured to cool the compressed working fluid delivered by the first and second air-ends of the fluid compressor system, respectively. The coolant circulation system includes a coolant supplying header and a coolant collecting header, where the coolant supplying header supplies a coolant to the first intercooler and the second intercooler, and the coolant collecting header collects the coolant from the first intercooler and the second intercooler. The at least one throttle valve regulates a coolant flow discharged by one of the first intercooler or the second intercooler prior to entering the coolant collecting header.

    Abstract: A turbocharged compressor system using an Organic Rankine Cycle system to recover waste heat from a compression process. The Organic Rankine Cycle system circulates an organic fluid through an evaporator, where the organic fluid vaporizes and is expanded in a turbine section of a turbocharger to drive a compressor section of the turbocharger. The organic fluid vapor is condensed in a condenser and is pumped to the evaporator once again for recirculation. The compressor section of the turbocharger pre-compresses a working fluid before entering an airend in a compression system. As the working fluid exits the airend, it may be delivered to the evaporator, where the waste heat from the working fluid evaporates the organic fluid flowing in the Organic Rankine Cycle system. The working fluid may also be circulated between intercoolers in multi-stage compressor systems.

    Abstract: A fluid compressor system having a pneumatic inlet/blowdown valve assembly that utilizes pneumatic pressure and vacuum available in the fluid compressor system for the actuation of an inlet valve and a blowdown valve. The actuation of the inlet valve and the blowdown valve is synchronized via a piston-cylinder actuator having a first piston and a second piston axially connected. The pneumatic blowdown/inlet valve assembly uses a first stage vacuum pressure to actuate the first piston and the second piston from an idle state where the inlet valve is closed to stop a flow of working fluid into the fluid compressor system and the blowdown valve is open to depressurize the fluid compressor system to an actuated state where the inlet valve is open to allow the flow of working fluid into a first airend and the blowdown valve is closed to allow a pressure buildup in the fluid compressor system.

    Abstract: A diaphragm structured for use in a diaphragm pump useful to pump a working fluid includes a first non-planar layer and a second non-planar layer. The second non-planar layer is independent from the first non-planar layer, but engaged to the first non-planar layer so that the first non-planar layer and the second non-planar layer form a closed space therebetween and travel together while flexing in an intake direction or a discharge direction within a pumping assembly of a diaphragm pump.

    Abstract: A dynamic compressor includes an impeller having impeller vanes disposed around a hub, a shroud, and a diffuser having a shroud surface adjacent to the shroud and a hub surface adjacent to the hub, wherein the diffuser is circumferentially disposed around the impeller. The diffuser includes a plurality of diffuser vanes extending from the hub surface to the shroud surface, each having a vane leading edge and a vane trailing edge. The diffuser includes a centrifugal acceleration stabilizer ring formed in the shroud surface located in a vaneless region defined between an impeller trailing edge and the vane leading edge. The centrifugal acceleration stabilizer ring stabilizes the flow of the fluid by changing the circumferentially-flowing high velocity fluid flow exiting the impeller into a radially-flowing high velocity fluid flow before entering the diffuser, improving the efficiency of the dynamic compressor.
