  • Patent number: 11391169
    Abstract: A blade wheel of a turbomachine, which blade wheel has a multiplicity of blades which are suitable and provided for extending radially in a flow path of the turbomachine, wherein the blades form a blade entry angle and a blade exit angle. Provision is made whereby the blade wheel forms N blocks of blades, where N?2, wherein the blades of a block have in each case the same blade entry angle and the same blade exit angle, and the blades of at least two mutually adjacent blocks have a different blade entry angle and/or a different blade exit angle. According to a further aspect of the invention, partial gaps that the blades form in relation to an adjacent flow path boundary are varied in mutually adjacent blocks.

  • Patent number: 10584591
    Abstract: A rotor of a turbomachine includes a plurality of rotor blades, which each have a blade leading edge and a tip, the rotor blades forming a first group and at least one further group of rotor blades of different construction. It is provided that the rotor blades of the first group are nominal rotor blades, the rotor blades of the at least one further group each have a material cutout in the transition from the blade leading edge to the tip, the material cutout not being present in the case of the rotor blades of the first group, and the rotor blades of the first group and of the at least one further group form a non-periodic sequence in a circumferential direction.
