Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent associated with Brunner: “Piston compressor and method of operating the same.” The invention describes a piston compressor with a cylinder, piston, carrier housing, crosshead, spacer, and piston rod. The spacer has multiple support arms that connect to and support the cylinder.

The operating method supplies inlet fluid at a temperature between −162°C and −40°C to the cylinder through an inlet valve. Fluid is then expelled through an outlet valve, with compression heating it in the cylinder by a temperature difference between 100°C and 150°C. Brunner’s listed portfolio includes 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Brunner is associated with Burckhardt Compression AG, a company specializing in compressor technology. The patent described here focuses on compressor construction and operation in demanding temperature conditions.

Collaborations
