Abstract: A radial compressor unit for compressing gas has several compressor stages. Each compressor stage includes an impeller having rotor blades, and a flow channel arranged downstream of the impeller, as viewed in the flow direction of the gas to be compressed, having a diffusor section, a deflection section, and a recirculation section having guide blades. The gas compressed in a compressor stage can be removed as cooling gas for cooling a component to be cooled, and can be conveyed in the direction of the component to be cooled. The cooling gas can be removed adjacent to an intermediate wall of the compressor stage from the deflection section and/or the recirculation section of the flow channel of the compressor stage.

Abstract: An end plate for an electric machine includes: a bearing receptacle in which a magnetic bearing which is configured for rotatably mounting a rotor of the electric machine can be accommodated; and a radially outwardly pointing circumferential contour on which a number of at least three supporting elements are provided, which supporting elements each protrude radially beyond the circumferential contour by a determined protruding amount, with the result that the supporting elements define a discontinuous external circumferential contour of the end plate. The respective protruding amounts of the support elements are dimensioned such that the end plate can be fitted in by making a center of the magnetic bearing correspond to at least one of a geometric longitudinal axis of the electric machine and a magnetic longitudinal axis of the electric machine.

Abstract: A multi or single-stage turbocompressor with at least one compressor wheel fastened to a shaft. The shaft is mounted in a turbocompressor housing which, behind the hub disc of the compressor wheel, includes an interior housing region as well as in front of the hub disc of the compressor wheel a front interior housing region. The driven compressor wheel delivers a fluid from an inlet channel to an outlet channel. The front interior housing region includes a wheel lateral space from which an extraction channel for the extraction of fluid is provided.

Abstract: A flow machine (1) has an outer housing (2) with an inner housing (6), particularly a guide blade carrier, arranged therein and a rotor shaft (10) which is situated in the latter, a cover (4; 8) which is fastened to the outer housing (2) and separates an inlet pressure (p1) in the interior of the outer housing (2) from an ambient pressure (pu) outside the outer housing, and a compensating piston seal (22) for sealing an outlet pressure (p2) in a work space, particularly compression space (16), defined between the rotor shaft (10) and the inner housing (6) against the inlet pressure (p1) in a noncontacting manner. The compensating piston seal (22) is fastened to the cover (4; 8).

Abstract: Underwater compressor arrangement and underwater process fluid conveying arrangement outfitted therewith. The underwater compressor arrangement has a housing, a turbocompressor with a compressor rotor, and a rotary drive unit with a drive rotor. The turbocompressor and rotary drive unit are arranged in the housing, and the compressor rotor is in rotationally driving connection with the drive rotor. The housing is hermetically sealed with the exception of operating connections for the turbocompressor and rotary drive unit, The compressor rotor is rotatably supported in the housing by a rolling element bearing arrangement.

Abstract: An electric machine has a housing with an inner circumference; a stator which is inserted into the housing so that an outer circumference of the stator is located opposite the inner circumference of the housing, a clearance fit being formed between the inner circumference of the housing and the outer circumference of the stator; at least one fastening element, each fastening element connects the stator to the housing by positive engagement so that the stator is held at the housing so as to be fixed with respect to rotation relative to it; and a rotor which is rotatably mounted in the housing in a radial direction of the electric machine inwardly of the stator.

Abstract: Squirrel cage rotor and method for the production thereof including a rotor shaft having a solid rotor portion formed of ferromagnetic material having a plurality of through-passages extending in an axial direction of the rotor shaft, a plurality of electrically conducting bar elements each received in a through-passage so that the respective bar elements extend in the axial direction. The bar elements each have a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, and two electrically conducting end elements which electrically connect the longitudinal ends to form a squirrel cage is formed by the bar elements and end elements. The bar elements are received in the through-passages in such that relative movement in the axial direction between the solid rotor portion and the bar elements is enabled when there is a change in length of the bar elements and/or of the solid rotor portion.
