A free-piston batch reverse osmosis (RO) system for brackish water desalination: Experimental study and model validation

open access: yesDesalination, 2022
Batch RO is designed to achieve high energy efficiency and high recovery in desalination. However, so far relatively few experiments on batch RO have been reported.

Stirling Engine and oil-free compressors [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2021
Refering to figure 1 [Fig.1], an oscillating « flipper » piston (1) and its associated chamber (2) are maintained without reciprocal contact. No oil is required because there is no contact and so no friction.

Development of Hydrogen-Free Diamond-Like Carbon Coating for Piston Rings

open access: yesTribology Online, 2017
The first piston ring application of a hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon (H-free DLC) coating to a mass-production gasoline engine reduces friction. It is found that the friction reduction effect between the cylinder bore and piston is 18%.

Investigation into the Influence of Parallel Offset Wear on Stirling Engine Piston Rod Oil-Free Lubrication Seal

open access: yesMachines, 2022
The oil-free lubrication seal of a piston rod plays an important role in the application of a Stirling engine. Parallel offset in a piston rod ruins the symmetry of the seal and affects the sealing performance when the seal is worn.

Influence of Pressure Build-Up Time of Compression Chamber on Improving the Operation Frequency of a Single-Piston Hydraulic Free-Piston Engine

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2013
A single-piston hydraulic free-piston engine with a two-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine as its driver is introduced. It takes the free-piston assembly a certain time to move after the pressure in the compression chamber starts to increase.

FREE-PISTON COMPRESSOR-ENGINES [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1947
The Pescara free-piston engine has been developed in France during the last twenty years, and the paper gives a description of a portable air compressor which has been proved in commercial work, and is now in production. An explanation is given of those characteristics in which this engine differs from the orthodox engine-driven crankshaft compressor.

An optimization of free-piston engine generator combustion using variable piston motion

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017
The free-piston engine generator has been a research focus lately due to its crankless structure and unconstrained piston motion, which brings about some weaknesses for the combustion process.
