  • Patent number: 11248612
    Abstract: A centrifugal compressor includes a motor that rotates a rotary shaft of a compressor impeller, a motor housing that houses the motor, a compressor housing that houses the compressor impeller and includes an intake port and a discharge port, an gas bleed port that is provided closer to the discharge port than the compressor impeller in a flow direction in the compressor housing, a cooling gas line which is connected to the gas bleed port and through which a part of compressed gas compressed by the compressor impeller passes, a cooling liquid line of which at least a part is provided in the motor housing and through which cooling liquid of which the temperature is lower than the temperature of the compressed gas passes, and a heat exchanger that is disposed on the cooling gas line and the cooling liquid line.

  • Patent number: 10107186
    Abstract: An actuator power transmission mechanism includes: a first lever that rotates by power of an actuator; a drive shaft that has one end fixed to the first lever and rotates integrally with the first lever; one or more nozzle vanes that are directly or indirectly coupled to the other end side of the drive shaft, rotate interlocking with the drive shaft, and adjust an inclination angle with respect to a flow direction of a fluid; and a bearing that has an insertion hole through which the drive shaft is inserted, and that rotatably supports the drive shaft, and a suppression portion that suppresses infiltration of water that runs along an outer peripheral surface of the bearing into the insertion hole is provided at the outer peripheral surface of the bearing.

  • Patent number: 9903379
    Abstract: An inner surface of each first supporting hole of a shroud ring has on both sides in the axial direction of a turbine impeller two first bearing portions by which first nozzle shaft is rotatably supported. An inner surface of each second supporting hole of a nozzle ring has a second bearing portion by which a second nozzle shaft is rotatably supported. The fitting clearance between the second bearing portion and the second nozzle shaft is set larger than the fitting clearance between each of the first bearing portions and the first nozzle shaft.

  • Patent number: 9879687
    Abstract: A reservoir groove for storing condensate water is formed on a lower part side of a link chamber inside a turbine housing. The reservoir groove is formed such that, assuming that water vapor contained in an exhaust gas retained inside the link chamber is completely condensed and liquefied after an engine stops its operation, a height position of a reference water surface of the condensate water stored in a reservoir area, which includes a space inside the reservoir groove in the link chamber, is lower than a height position of a lowermost part of the link mechanism.
