    Abstract: An expander-generator is disclosed having an expansion device and a generator disposed within a hermetically-sealed housing. The expansion device may be overhung and supported on or otherwise rotate a hollow expansion rotor having a thrust balance seal being arranged at least partially within a chamber defined in the expansion rotor. Partially-expanded working fluid is extracted from an intermediate expansion stage and a first portion of the extracted working fluid is used cool the generator and accompanying radial bearings. A second portion of the extracted working fluid may be introduced into the chamber defined within the expander rotor via a conduit defined in the thrust balance seal chamber. The second portion of extracted working fluid minimizes unequal axial thrust loads on the expander rotor due to the overhung arrangement.

    Abstract: A multi-stage, two-flow, axial flow expander close-coupled to a driven machine, such as a generator. The expander includes one or more expansion stages separated by a series of flow stream dividers that separate each expansion stage into outer and inner expander flowpaths. Working fluid at a first temperature is directed into the outer expander flowpath for expansion, and working fluid at a second, lesser temperature is directed into the inner expander flowpath for expansion. Expansion of the working fluid drives the driven machine.

    Abstract: A fluid compression system is disclosed having at least a compressor and a motor (or alternate driver) arranged within a hermetically-sealed housing. The motor rotates a shaft upon which the compressor is disposed, and the shaft is supported within the housing by first and second radial bearings arranged at first and second ends of the shaft, respectively. An intermediate radial bearing is also arranged on the rotatable shaft between the first and second radial bearings. The radial bearings can be active magnetic bearings and controlled by two sets of channels in a bearing control system in order to levitate and control the position of the shaft.
