  • Publication number: 20240125333
    Abstract: A suction pipe 200 of a centrifugal compressor 20, the centrifugal compressor 20 having a suction port 22 that is open to direct the working fluid to an impeller 21, the suction pipe 200 including a first opening portion 31 to be directly or indirectly connected to the suction port 22 and a second opening portion 32 positioned upstream from the first opening portion 31 in the flow direction of the working fluid. The second opening portion 32 is positioned below the first opening portion 31 in the vertical direction. The first opening portion 31 and the second opening portion 32 are open toward the same direction.

  • Publication number: 20240068382
    Abstract: A rotary machine 100 includes a bearing 10, a rotary shaft 20, a turbine wheel 30, a turbine nozzle 31, and a first cavity 40. The bearing 10 has a first end face 10a and a second end face 10b each positioned in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 20. The distance from the first end face 10a to the turbine wheel 30 is shorter than the distance from the second end face 10b to the turbine wheel 30. The first cavity 40 is positioned, in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 20, between a back surface 31b of the turbine nozzle 31 and the second end face 10b of the bearing 10 or between the back surface 31b of the turbine nozzle 31 and a space 11 that the second end face 10b of the bearing 10 faces. The first cavity 40 is present in the zone overlapping with the turbine nozzle 31 in a radial direction of the rotary shaft 20.

  • Patent number: 11867543
    Abstract: A field device case is a metal field device case where a lead-in part for drawing a cable including an outer shield is provided on a tubular circumferential wall. The field device case includes: a first inner surface which is formed away from an opening end surface of the field device case in an axial direction orthogonal to the opening end surface; a second inner surface which is formed farther away from the opening end surface than the first inner surface in the axial direction; and a cable fixing member which is fixed to the first inner surface and allows the outer shield of the cable drawn by the lead-in part to be in contact with the second inner surface.
