  • Publication number: 20200318883
    Abstract: A rotary machine includes a rotary shaft with an axial disc; an axial magnetic bearing which supports the rotary shaft; a motor which rotates the rotary shaft; a turbine impeller mounted on one end portion of the rotary shaft; a compressor impeller mounted on the other end portion; a cooling gas flow passage where a cooling gas for cooling the motor flows; and a housing for at least the motor, the axial magnetic bearing, and the axial disc. The motor includes a rotor unit on the rotary shaft, and a stator unit facing the rotor unit, the axial disc is equipped with a pair of load receiving surfaces sandwiched between the axial magnetic bearings, and the cooling gas flow passage is equipped with a first flow passage between the rotor unit and the stator unit, and a second flow passage extending along at least one of the load receiving surface.

  • Patent number: 9027362
    Abstract: Provided is a turbo compressor that includes: a compressor unit compressing a gas; a motor driving the compressor unit; and a motor casing accommodating the motor. In the turbo compressor, the motor casing includes: a body portion which is molded in a cylindrical shape; an annular diameter reduced portion which is connected to at least one end portion of the body portion in the rotation axis direction of the motor and of which the diameter is reduced as it moves away from the body portion; and a flat portion which is connected to the central end portion of the diameter reduced portion and is molded in a planar shape.

  • Patent number: 8959949
    Abstract: Provided is a drive shaft structure including: a drive shaft which transmits the drive force; and a seal member which is provided to come into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the drive shaft. In the drive shaft structure, the drive shaft includes a second surface located closer to the inner side of the radial direction than the outer peripheral surface, and the second surface includes an index mark used to confirm information on the rotation of the drive shaft or information on the displacement thereof in the axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20110247357
    Abstract: A turbo refrigerator includes a condenser that cools and liquefies a compressed refrigerant, an evaporator that vaporizes the liquefied refrigerant and takes away heat of vaporization from a cooling object, thereby cooling the cooling object, and a turbo compressor that compresses the refrigerant vaporized by the evaporator by rotation of an impeller driven to rotate by an electric motor, and supplies the compressed refrigerant to the condenser. Moreover, the turbo refrigerator includes a braking device that operates the electric motor as a generator when the impeller is urged to rotate by the vaporized refrigerant, so as to brake the rotation of the impeller.
