Patent number: 10100792Abstract: An object is to provide a fluid machine whereby it is possible to improve performance, for example, expand a flow-rate operation rage with a simplified shape of an intake pipe. A fluid machine includes an impeller mounted to a rotation shaft, a housing which houses the impeller rotatably, and an intake pipe for supplying a fluid to the housing. The intake pipe includes at least a first bend portion disposed on a first plane, and a second bend portion disposed at a downstream side of the first bend portion and on a second plane which is different from the first plane. The second bend portion includes an upstream section having a center axis oriented along a center axis of a downstream section of the first bend portion and a downstream section having a center axis oriented along an axial direction of the impeller at a front of the impeller. The intake pipe has a constant cross-sectional shape from an upstream end of the first bend portion to a downstream end of the second bend portion.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2013Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Tadashi Kanzaka, Isao Tomita, Makoto Ozaki, Koji Wakashima

Publication number: 20180073515Abstract: A housing is formed with an impeller side communicating passage extending from an impeller chamber in a direction including a component of an outer side in a radial direction, circulating channels extending from the impeller side communicating passage in a direction including a component of a front side in the axial direction, and a suction side communicating passage communicating with the circulating channel and a suction channel that guides a gas into the impeller chamber. A radial dimension from an axis to a communicating position at which each of the circulating channels communicates with the suction side communicating path is larger than a radial dimension from the axis to a communication position with the impeller side communicating path in the circulating channel. A channel area of the circulating passage at a communicating position for the suction side communicating passage is larger than a channel area of the circulating channel at a communicating position for the impeller side communicating passage.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2015Publication date: March 15, 2018Applicant: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventor: Tadashi KANZAKA
