Abstract: A turbomachine or high pressure compressor including a stator casing housing a plurality of compression stages that are spaced apart in an axial direction along the central axis of the turbomachine, each compression stage including a row of rotor blades followed by a row of stator vanes. The compressor further includes an air injection system including at least one air injection passage through the casing and including an outlet segment that opens out in an inclined manner upstream from and directed towards a row of rotor blades into a set-back zone of the inside face of the casing.

Abstract: A compressor typically for use in a turbocharger comprises a downstream radial compressor impeller wheel, an upstream axial compressor impeller wheel and an intermediate stator. The compressor housing has an inlet with inner and outer walls that define between them an MWE gas flow passage. An upstream opening defined by the flow passage provides communication between the passage and the intake and at least one first slot downstream of the upstream opening provides communication between the passage and the inner surface of the inner wall. The stator comprises a plurality of fixed vanes and is disposed in the inner wall of the inlet between the radial and axial impeller wheels. The position of the slot can be at one of several positions along the gas flow passage, in other embodiments there are second and third slots and the flow passage is divided into two parts. All the arrangements are designed to improve the compressor map width.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improvement in a new structure of a regenerative pump, including a cross section structure of the flow channel of a pump casing and closed type impeller, whereby to improve a better flow model for pump performance to solve problems of noise, and to increase the outflow capacity and higher efficiency.

Abstract: Disclosed is a steam turbine comprising an exterior housing and an interior housing. The exterior housing and the interior housing are provided with a fresh steam supply duct. A rotor that encompasses several impeller blades and a thrust-compensating piston is rotably mounted within the interior housing. The interior housing is equipped with several guide blades that are disposed such that a flow duct comprising several blade stages, each of which comprises a series of impeller blades and a series of guide blades, is formed along a specific direction of flow. The interior housing is further equipped with a recirculation duct which is embodied as a pipe that communicates between a space located between the interior housing and the exterior housing and the flow duct downstream of a blade stage.

Abstract: Reinjecting air to the inlet of a compressor in order to improve its pumping margin. The inlet stator of the compressor includes injection holes passing through at least some of the vanes in the vicinity of their pivots.

Abstract: A centrifugal pump for a gas turbine engine, including a housing having a fluid inlet port for receiving fluid at an initial pressure and an interior chamber defining a central axis. An impeller disk disposed within the interior chamber of the housing and mounted for rotation about the central axis. The impeller disk defines first and second inlet areas and has a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart channels formed therein which extend from the inlet areas for conducting fluid from the inlet areas in a radially outward direction upon rotation of the impeller disk so as to increase the pressure of the fluid. A first collector is formed by the housing for receiving the fluid from the first inlet area via the channels at a first elevated pressure relative to the initial pressure and a second collector is formed by the housing for receiving fluid from the second inlet area via the channels at a second elevated pressure relative to the first elevated pressure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a leak reducing structure in a steam turbine having high pressure, intermediate pressure, and low pressure turbine sections in a single casing, in which steam leaking from the high pressure side to the intermediate pressure side is recovered to be used effectively. The high pressure, intermediate pressure, and low pressure turbine sections are arranged along a rotor in an external casing. High-pressure steam from a high-pressure steam inlet port passes through a nozzle chamber formed integrally with a dummy ring, and flows into the high pressure turbine section to do work. On the other hand, some of high-pressure steam attempts to leak from a seal portion of the dummy ring to the intermediate pressure turbine section side. However, the leaking steam flows from point X of an external pipe to point Y on the high pressure side to be recovered.
