  • Patent number: 10914319
    Abstract: A cooling device includes a cooler disposed inside a shell, an inlet nozzle that is configured to feed a fluid into the shell, an outlet nozzle that is configured to feed the fluid passing through the cooler so as to flow outward, and a guide member that is configured to change a flowing direction of the fluid. The guide member has a collision surface which spreads in an inclined direction inclined with respect to the flowing direction of the fluid fed into the shell from the inlet nozzle, and which collides with the fluid, and an uneven portion formed in at least a portion of a peripheral edge portion of the collision surface.

  • Publication number: 20210010389
    Abstract: A shaft vibration monitoring system is equipped with a plurality of sensors, a sensor abnormality determination unit, and a shaft vibration monitoring unit. The plurality of sensors detect vibration of the rotary shaft. The sensor abnormality determination unit is configured to compare the detection signals to be output from the plurality of sensors and determine whether an abnormality occurs in at least one of the plurality of sensors. The shaft vibration monitoring unit is configured to monitor the vibration of the rotary shaft, on the basis of the detection signals to be output from the plurality of sensors and the determination result of the sensor abnormality determination unit.

  • Publication number: 20180073638
    Abstract: A rotary machine includes a rotor, a casing, a seal portion, and a high pressure fluid supply portion. The rotor includes a rotary shaft that rotates around an axial line and an impeller that rotates with the rotary shaft to compress a fluid; the casing defines a casing flow path through which the fluid compressed by the impeller flows and covers the rotor from an outer peripheral side; the seal portion includes an opposing surface opposite the outer peripheral surface of the rotor in the gap and seals the fluid that flows through the gap in a direction of the axial line from a high pressure side toward a low pressure side; and the high-pressure fluid supply portion supplies the fluid on the high pressure side flowing through the casing flow path to the gap.
