Power systems and methods of controlling an engine driven air compressor include an air compressor driven by an engine via a clutch. A first pressure sensor configured to sense a pressure level at an outlet of the air compressor. An inlet valve configured to close in response to the first pressure sensor sensing a pressure level above a first pressure level. In addition, a second pressure sensor to sense a pressure level below a second pressure level at a housing of the air compressor, wherein the clutch is configured to disengage in response to the second pressure level, wherein the first pressure level is higher than the second pressure level.

A thermodynamic boiler for delivering heat into at least one heating circuit, includes a compressor forming the compression function of a heat pump type loop using a compressible fluid of type R744, and includes a fuel burner which delivers heat into the compressible fluid.

A system and method of a variable speed cooling fan for a skid mounted compressor. A magnetic variable speed clutch is mounted to the cooling fan drive shaft. The clutch mechanism is driven via by a drive pulley on the crankshaft of the engine driving the compressor. The speed of the fan is varied dependent upon the temperature of the fluids being cooled.

A fluid end is formed from a first body attached to a separate second body. Each body includes an external surface. When the bodies are attached, their respective external surfaces are in flush engagement. A plurality of bores are formed in the second body that are alignable with a plurality of corresponding bores formed in the first body. The fluid end may be used with seals disposed within recesses within each bore to seal against corresponding sealing surfaces. Further, retaining closures may be bolted to the fluid end bodies, such that the closures have a threadless connection to the fluid end bodies. Various combinations of such components may be utilized.

A system and method of a variable speed cooling fan (30) for a skid mounted compressor (22). A magnetic variable speed clutch (38) is mounted to the cooling fan drive shaft (28). The clutch mechanism is driven via by a drive pulley (38) on the crankshaft of the engine (24) driving the compressor (22). The speed of the fan (30) is varied dependent upon the temperature of the fluids being cooled.

Disclosed herein are a clutch and a compressor including the same. The clutch includes a hub fastened to a rotary shaft of the compressor to be rotatable together with the rotary shaft in a state in which a position of the hub is fixed, a disk fastened to the hub to be rotatable together therewith, a pulley rotated by power transmitted from a drive source of the compressor, an elastic member for fastening the hub and the disk such that the disk is movable toward or away from the pulley with respect to the hub, a field coil assembly magnetized when electric power is applied thereto to allow the disk and the pulley to come into contact with or separate from each other, and an attenuation member interposed between the elastic member and the disk. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce noise and vibration due to contact and separation between the disk and the pulley by the elastic member and the attenuation member.

A vehicle having one or more inflatable wheels, the vehicle including an internal combustion engine including a cylinder, a tire inflation system in fluid communication with and configured to selectively direct compressed air into at least one wheel of the one or more inflatable wheels, a compressor assembly having an outlet, where the compressor assembly is operable in a first mode, in which the outlet is in fluid communication with the cylinder of the internal combustion engine, and a second mode, in which the outlet is in fluid communication with the tire inflation system

A vehicle having one or more pneumatic wheels, the vehicle including an internal combustion engine including a cylinder and an intake manifold in fluid communication with the cylinder, a tire inflation system configured to direct air into at least one of the one or more inflatable wheels, and a compressor assembly configured to supply air at a first pressure higher than atmospheric pressure to both the intake manifold and the tire inflation system.

A vehicle having one or more pneumatic wheels, the vehicle including an internal combustion engine including a cylinder and an intake manifold in fluid communication with the cylinder, a tire inflation system configured to direct air into at least one of the one or more inflatable wheels, an air assembly configured to supply air at a first pressure higher than atmospheric pressure to both the intake manifold and the tire inflation system, where the air assembly includes a first compressor stage and a second compressor stage.

A system that can eliminate engine combustion emissions in addition to raw and fugitive methane emissions associated with a gas compressor package. The system may comprise an air system for starting and instrumentation air supply; electrically operated engine pre/post-lube pump, compressor pre-lube pump, and cooler louver actuators; compressor distance piece and pressure packing recovery system; blow-down recovery system; engine crankcase vent recovery system; a methane leak detection system; and an overall remote monitoring system.
