Embodiment Construction

[0020] Referring now to the accompanying drawings, and in particular to figure 1 , designates an integrated gas compressor and internal combustion engine incorporating the cylinder block of the present invention, and is generally designated by the numeral 10. Compressor 10 is shown as part of compressor package 12 . The integrated gas compressor and internal combustion engine 10 is also referred to here simply as compressor 10 .

[0021] Compressor assembly 12, as shown, is of a type particularly suitable for recovering natural gas from a well, but may also be used for other combustible gases or gases with elevated inlet pressure. The present invention is not intended to be limited to the illustrated compressor package 12 . figure 1 and 2 It has been greatly simplified to remove the bulk of the tubing and wiring associated with the kit 12 . Omitted terms are known in the art and are not necessary for an understanding of the present invention.

[0022] In a typical suite 1...

Abstract

A cylinder block for an integral gas compressor and internal combustion engine. The cylinder block has a bank of compressor cylinders and a bank of engine cylinders, such as in a V-shaped configuration. Valve train openings are machined into the cylinder block adjacent to the engine cylinders so that engine valve train components, such as push rods, may be disposed therein. No valve train openings are machined into the cylinder block adjacent to the compressor cylinders; the block is left solid. A compressor utilizing the cylinder block is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an integral gas compressor and an internal combustion engine, and in particular to a cylinder block for such a device manufactured differently on the compressor side and on the engine side. Background technique [0002] Reciprocating gas compressors are well known in the art, some suitable for handling combustible gases, such as natural gas. One type of gas compressor used for these applications is integrated with an internal combustion engine. [0003] Previously, the construction of an integrated gas compressor and internal combustion engine involved removing some engine components and replacing them with compressor components. For example, U.S. Patent No. 2,133,769 to Jones discloses an engine-compressor unit with one side of a V-shaped engine, in this case a Ford V-8 converted to a gas compressor. In this device, the engine head on a bank of cylinders is removed, along with the pistons and engine intake and exhaust valve...
