  • Patent number: 11879353
    Abstract: A blade set of the present disclosure is exposed to a working fluid, which includes a blade main bodies which are disposed at intervals in a circumferential direction about an axis and each extending in a radial direction with respect to the axis wherein a tip end surface is formed on an outer circumferential side of each blade main body and the tip end surface of the blade main body includes a leading edge side region positioned on an upstream side in a flow direction of the working fluid along the axis and a trailing edge side region positioned on a downstream side in the flow direction, and a shroud which is provided on an outer circumferential side of the blade main bodies and covering either the leading edge side regions or the trailing edge side regions of the blade main bodies.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 2022
    Date of Patent: January 23, 2024
    Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.

  • Patent number: 9556876
    Abstract: A centrifugal fluid machine includes an impeller (4) that has a front shroud (41) arranged on one side in an axial direction, a rear shroud (42) arranged on the other side in the axial direction, and a plurality of blades (43) provided side by side in a circumferential direction between the front shroud and the rear shroud and is rotatably supported within a casing (2); a suction passage (2A) that allows a fluid to be sucked therethrough in the axial direction toward the impeller with the rotation of the impeller; a discharge passage (2B) that allows a fluid delivered under pressure by the impeller with the rotation of the impeller to be discharged in a direction intersecting the axial direction of the impeller; and a first flow path (5A) that communicates with the discharge passage, leads to the suction passage through a gap between the casing and the rear shroud, and an opening (5Aa) that opens toward the downstream side of the suction passage in a suction direction of a fluid.
