Abstract: A sealless turbine generator mounted on a single shaft compising a radial turbine having a unique thrust equalizing mechanism mounted thereto and operative with a portion of the applied hydraulic fluid to the turbine radial runner and a thrust bearing for equalizing the generated thrust forces by providing a small axial, bidirectional movement of the thrust bearing and the elements mounted on the single shaft and an induction generator driven by the turbine. The shaft along with the induction generator and the turbine components except the turbine runner are isolated in a common housing and the entire assembly included in a submersible containment vessel having a fluid inlet and outlet for receiving the input hydraulic fluid flow at a preselected fluid pressure and velocity for controlling the speed of the turbine.

Abstract: A suction of fluid control valve for a submerged type pump for storage containers containing cryogenic fluids. The valve is normally open and includes a fluid control valve member having ports for communicating with the liquid stored in the storage container. A gas source is provided for producing relative movement between the valve members for sealing off the fluid ports and exposing the ports to thereby control the flow of the stored liquid into the pump housing.
