  • Patent number: 11408307
    Abstract: The present invention includes a flow guide (17) that is disposed in a space (15A) formed in a casing, on an outlet side of a diffuser (14), the flow guide including: a first guide surface (17a) that is disposed on a rotor side provided to a compressor and a gas turbine, and that delays turning of a flow direction of a compressed gas which has passed through the diffuser (14); and a second guide surface (17b) that is disposed outside the first guide surface (17a) and that turns the flow direction of the compressed gas which has passed through the diffuser (14).

  • Patent number: 11300135
    Abstract: A variable stator vane includes: a stator vane body which includes a radial end surface forming a clearance between the radial end surface and an outer peripheral surface of an inner casing; a rotation shaft which is rotatable so that an angle of the stator vane body with respect to a flow direction of a main stream of a working fluid is varied and which is connected to the radial end surface; and a curved surface portion which is formed on a vane surface adjacent to the radial end surface protruding radially outward from a circumference of the rotation shaft. A curvature radius of the curved surface portion is gradually decreased with distance away from the rotation shaft.

  • Patent number: 11168704
    Abstract: A stator vane body which is disposed in a flow path through which a working fluid flows and by which a clearance is formed between the stator vane body and an inner casing; a rotary shaft which is configured to rotate such that an angle of the stator vane body with respect to a flow direction of a main flow of the working fluid is varied; and a connection part which is configured to connect the stator vane body to the rotary shaft are provided. The connection part includes a first guide surface which is configured to guide the working fluid in a direction in which a flow direction of a leakage flow of the working fluid in the clearance which has flowed into toward a leading edge side of the stator vane body is directed in a flow direction of the main flow.

  • Patent number: 10738892
    Abstract: A rotary machine includes a seal device capable of restricting a flow of a fluid in a clearance between a stationary member and a rotational member. The seal device includes a pressure loss element mounted to the stationary member, a first non-contact type seal protruding from the rotational member toward the pressure loss element and facing the pressure loss element via a first gap, and a second non-contact type seal protruding from the stationary member toward the rotational member, facing the rotational member via a second gap, and being positioned on one side of the pressure loss element in a flow direction of the fluid. The seal device also includes a contact type seal protruding from the stationary member toward the rotational member and being disposed downstream of the pressure loss element and the second non-contact type seal in the flow direction of the fluid.

  • Publication number: 20190309759
    Abstract: A tip portion of a compressor blade faces a casing with a clearance therebetween. The tip portion has an upstream-side region including a blade leading edge, and a downstream-side region including a blade trailing edge. The upstream-side region has a small clearance formation portion including a part in which the clearance is a minimum in the tip portion. The downstream-side region forms a large clearance formation portion having a clearance larger than a clearance of the small clearance formation portion throughout the entire region of the downstream-side region.

  • Publication number: 20180266436
    Abstract: The present invention provides a rotary machine intake casing which, by using a simple configuration, makes it possible to reduce asymmetry between the flow speed of air flowing in a forward direction relative to the direction of rotation of a rotating shaft of a compressor and the flow speed of air flowing in the opposite direction.
