Industrial oil degassing system and method
10661200 · 2020-05-26 · ·

An industrial oil degassing system and method to remove gas from an industrial machine oil. Described is an industrial oil degassing system, including a pressure tank under pressure to receive oil charged with gas, a separation tank with an atmospheric pressure to separate gas from the oil, and a seal oil tank with an atmospheric pressure to receive the degassed oil from the separation tank. Further described is a method for industrial degassing of oil with the steps of exerting a pressure to a pressure tank, supplying the oil to the pressure tank, supplying the oil from the pressure tank to a separation tank with atmospheric pressure, separating gas from the oil in the separation tank, and supplying the degassed oil to a seal oil tank with atmospheric pressure.

BATTERY COOLING SYSTEM
20200127352 · 2020-04-23 · ·

A battery cooling system includes: a circulation circuit configured to circulate common oil to a transaxle, a battery, and an oil cooler; a first electric oil pump that is disposed in a first oil passage; a second electric oil pump that is disposed in a second oil passage; and a controller configured to control the first electric oil pump and the second electric oil pump. The controller is configured to operate the first electric oil pump and stop the second electric oil pump when a temperature of the battery is equal to or lower than a first predetermined value, and stop the first electric oil pump and operate the second electric oil pump when the temperature of the battery is higher than the first predetermined value.

Oil conditioner for removing fluid impurities
10619793 · 2020-04-14 ·

An oil conditioner is provided for removing impurities from oil, such as water, fuel and glycol, to increase engine life and efficiency. An evaporator assembly includes an upper plate, a lower plate, with a heater unit sandwiched between the two. To increase the efficiency of the evaporator assembly, materials are selected so that the upper plate thermal conductivity property is greater than the lower plate thermal conductivity property; and, optionally, the lower plate includes a reflective surface to direct thermal radiation toward the upper plate. This unique design enables oil conditioning with reduced power consumption and improved heating compared to existing technology.

Engine sump with air separation features

A sump assembly for use in a gas turbine engine includes a housing and a shaft assembly. The housing is arranged about a central axis of the sump assembly to define a cavity configured to house oil and high-pressure gasses. The shaft assembly is mounted to rotate about the central axis and to direct the high-pressure gasses into the housing.
