  • THRUST-BALANCING WET GAS COMPRESSOR
    Publication number: 20220220963
    Abstract: A contra-rotating compressor includes a first shaft assembly disposed in a housing, the first shaft assembly including an outer shaft, and a first plurality of impellers coupled to the outer shaft, wherein the outer shaft includes a final stage that includes a final impeller of the first plurality of impellers, a second shaft assembly disposed in the housing and rotatable about the longitudinal axis, the second shaft assembly including a second plurality of impellers, a first pair of annular seals between the final stage and an inner surface of the housing, the pair of annular seals being configured to permit relative rotation between the final stage and the housing, and a third annular seal positioned between the outer surface of the final stage and an inner surface of the second shaft assembly, the third annular seal configured to permit contra-rotation between the final stage and the second shaft assembly.

  • Erosion resistant blades for compressors
    Patent number: 10914183
    Abstract: An impeller blade that includes an impeller blade body constructed of a first material. The impeller blade body defines a leading edge that faces a direction of rotation. A second material couples to the leading edge. The second material is a more erosion resistant material than the first material. The second material extends over the leading edge a distance to absorb high angle impacts of droplets and/or particulate. A third material couples to at least a portion of the impeller blade body.
