An apparatus includes a pipeline-transport compressor configured to receive, in use, a product stream from a pipeline. The cooler unit is configured to receive, in use, a cooler air intake from the pipeline-transport compressor. This is done in such a way that removal of the cooler air intake by the cooler unit, in use, moves the cool air across the cooler bundles and out through the cooler unit, and cools the pipeline-transport compressor. An air exhaust power generation unit is configured to generate, in use, electric power in response to the cooler unit, in use, urging, at least in part, the cooler air intake toward, at least in part, the air exhaust power generation unit.

A motor assembly having a rotational axis includes a motor housing comprising a plurality of cooling openings extending therethrough and defining a chamber. The motor assembly also includes a stator fixedly coupled to the motor housing and positioned within the chamber. A rotor is coupled to at least one of the motor housing and the stator, wherein the rotor is configured to rotate about the axis and is positioned within the chamber. The motor assembly includes a fan having a first inlet side on a first axial side of the fan and a second inlet side on a second, opposing, axial side of the fan. The fan is configured to draw cooling air in a first direction through the at least one cooling opening into the first inlet side, and the fan is also configured to draw cooling air in a second, opposite direction into the second inlet side.

A compressor or pump stage is provided. The compressor or pump stage at least comprising a central shaft (8) and one rotor (3), where the axis of rotation of the rotor (3) is the central shaft (8) and where the rotor comprises a number, n, of rows of impellers (5) arranged at an outer perimeter of the rotor with an axial distance between neighbouring rows of impellers (5), where n={2, 3, 4...}.

A control system that uses an algorithm to control the fan speed in a cooling system for an engine is disclosed. The algorithm is adapted to maintain a cooling medium at a set temperature instead of an operating temperature range of the cooling medium. The algorithm is also adapted to maintain a cooling medium at a set temperature and to build a cooling safety margin in response to an engine output torque percentage that is below an output torque percentage setpoint.

A vacuum pump comprises: a pump main body; a heater provided at the pump main body; a power source device configured to supply power to the pump main body; a cooler provided between the pump main body and the power source device; a connection plate provided between the pump main body and the cooler; a first heat insulating plate arranged between the cooler and the connection plate; and a second heat insulating plate arranged between the pump main body and the connection plate.
