A motor compressor unit including a common housing sealed with respect to a gas to be compressed, a motor mounted to the common housing, and a compressor mounted to the common housing. The motor is mounted in an inner casing fastened in the common housing by at least one removable fastening device such that the motor and the inner casing form a removable cartridge.

A centrifugal compressor unit includes a driving means for rotatably driving a rotor, and at least one compressor including a statoric body and an arrangement of blade wheels mounted on a shaft which is rotatably driven by the rotor in the statoric body. The group formed by the motor and/or each compressor being mounted in a common housing is sealed from the gas used by the compressor. The compressor unit also includes an arrangement of active bearings for axially and radially guiding the rotor and the driven shaft, and a means for cooling the driving means and the guiding bearings by withdrawing the gas used by the compressor at the outlet of a first compression stage. The cooling means includes a set of internal conduits for supplying the driving means and the bearings with cooling gas. The cooling gas flow in the motor and the cooling gas flow in the bearing is separated and then converge upstream of the first compression stage.

Centrifugal motor-compressor unit

This compressor unit comprises a motor () and at least one compressor () comprising a driven shaft () driven by the rotor of the motor and bladed wheels fitted on the driven shaft (), the assembly composed of the motor and the compressor being installed in a common casing () leak tight to the gas manipulated by the compressor unit. The rotor and the driven shaft are connected through a flexible coupling () placed in the casing.

A seal for a rotary compressor comprises a casing, at least one assembly having a rotating seal face ring which rotates as one with a sleeve intended to be mounted on a shaft of the compressor and of a stationary seal face ring mounted on the casing, the seal face rings being urged to press against one another via their rubbing face. The seal design further incorporates fluid circulation for heating leaks of compressible fluid conveyed by the compressor that occur between the seal face rings, this fluid circulation being formed in the casing and extending at least partially downstream of the seal face rings with respect to the direction of flow of the fluid stream.
