  • Patent number: 11767973
    Abstract: Spray heads for use with desuperheaters and desuperheaters including such spray heads. One example of a spray head includes a main body having an exterior surface and defining a central passage, the main body adapted for connection to a source of fluid, at least one entrance port formed in the main body along the central passage, and at least one spray nozzle arranged adjacent the exterior surface of the main body. The spray head also includes a plurality of flow passages, each of the plurality of flow passages providing fluid communication between the entrance port and an exit opening of the spray nozzle. A first one of the plurality of flow passages follows a first non-linear path and has a first distance, and a second one of the plurality of flow passages follows a second non-linear path and has a second distance different from the first distance.

  • Patent number: 11111800
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an impeller of a rotary machine, the impeller including at least one vane limiting an inner channel, which is at least partly closed, the method includes successively manufactured the impeller of several material layers by a build-up process from a powder. The powder is applied in each case to a processing plane for the production of each material layer, and then a solid material layer is produced from the powder by a selective energy input, and structural orientation is determined for the impeller, according to which the impeller is built up in layers, and the structural orientation is defined by a first and a second angle, which angles describe the relative position of the impeller to the processing plane.
