A compact assembly of an internal combustion engine and a heat pump compressor comprises at least one compressor cylinder (4) and at least one engine cylinder (2, 3) provided in a common cylinder block (1), with the engine arranged to drive the compressor, and a rotary face seal (14) is located in an annular recess (13) on a compressor crankshaft web (12) and co-operates with a counterface (18) carried by a bearing (11) common both to the compressor crankshaft (9) and an engine crankshaft (8). These crankshaft members (8, 9) are rigidly coupled together coaxially, e.g. by interengaging teeth or splines (10). <IMAGE> |
