Patent number: 10876544Abstract: A rotary machine includes a casing part having a return bend part configured to reverse a flow direction of a working fluid flowing from an impeller. The casing part includes a diaphragm having a curved flow path formation surface which forms a curved surface of the return bend part and an outer casing configured to cover the diaphragm and having a concave part which is recessed from an inner circumferential surface. The outer casing has an outer flow path formation surface which forms a part of the return bend part further outward in the radial direction than the curved flow path formation surface. The diaphragm has a convex part which protrudes from an outer circumferential surface outward in the radial direction to be engaged with the concave part. A surface of the convex part in the axial direction extends from the curved flow path formation surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2018Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES COMPRESSOR CORPORATIONInventor: Takanori Matsueda

Patent number: 10801505Abstract: A centrifugal compressor according to the present invention includes, as gas flow paths, diffuser flow paths into which process gas flowing from impellers to outside in a radial direction flows, curved flow paths that respectively communicate with the diffuser flow paths and change a flowing direction of the process gas from a direction toward the outside in the radial direction to a direction toward inside in the radial direction, and return flow paths that respectively communicate with the curved flow paths and cause the process gas flowing through the curved flow paths to flow into the impellers. In the present invention, the curved flow path configuring at least one of the gas flow paths is provided between a diaphragm and a flow path forming body that is provided between the diaphragm and the casing.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2016Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES COMPRESSOR CORPORATIONInventors: Kazutoshi Yoko, Shin Yanagisawa, Eiichi Yanagisawa, Akihiro Nakaniwa, Daisuke Hirata, Takanori Matsueda
