    Publication number: 20130094953
    Abstract: A scroll or torus has a variable thickness and variable radius structure rib support. The scroll or torus may be suitable in high temperature applications while avoiding the high stress found with conventional constant radii ribs and the weight penalty found in stainless steel scrolls and torus. The scroll or torus may be used, for example, on a turbo compressor machine in aircraft environmental control systems.

  • Turbo compressor/journal foil bearings with axial retainers
    Patent number: 8371799
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for maintaining separation of two journal foil bearing assemblies, where each journal foil bearing assembly comprises one or more foils with lugs formed thereon for insertion into axial grooves of a bore, the means comprising a pin for insertion into each groove so that an edge of the lug that is inserted into the groove abuts the pin and is prevented from axially drifting along the bore. The pin provides a broad area along the lug edge so that the lug edge does not cut into the pin.
