A fan includes a frame and an impeller including a hub, a plurality of first blades, a first ring-shaped structure, and a plurality of second blades. The first blades are disposed around the hub. The hub and the first blades are surrounded by the first ring-shaped structure connected with the ends of the first blades, and a central area is structured therebetween. The second blades are connected with an outer rim of the first ring-shaped structure. The frame includes a base, an axle tube portion disposed on the base, and a receiving portion. The impeller is disposed on the axle tube portion. The receiving portion includes plural third blades disposed around the base corresponding to the central area. The first and third blades are matched to each other to be assembled for transforming a tangent velocity into a static pressure to increase the pressure generated by the central area.

A rotary assembly for a turbine engine is provided. The assembly includes a rotor with two consecutive rotor stages equipped with a plurality of movable vanes, and an annular rotor shroud connecting the two consecutive rotor stages; and a stator including a stator stage, provided with a plurality of fixed vanes and disposed between the two rotor stages, and an annular stator ring mounted on the fixed vanes. Either the rotor shroud or the stator ring bears at least one wiper designed to cooperate with an abradable track on the other of the rotor shroud and stator ring, such that the rotor shroud includes at at least one of its upstream or downstream ends an inclined contact portion resting on an inclined bearing surface of the corresponding rotor stage, the bearing surface being the outer surface of a projection extending from a base portion of the corresponding rotor stage.

The present disclosure relates to a fan apparatus (1). The fan apparatus (1) includes an impeller (12A, 12B, 12C, 26A, 26B) for generating a flow of air. A drive means (14) is provided for driving the impeller (12A, 12B, 12C, 26A, 26B). At least in certain embodiments, the drive means (4) includes a turbine (18) adapted to be rotated by a working liquid supplied to the fan apparatus (1). The fan apparatus (1) described herein is suitable for providing air ventilation and/or air extraction, for example.

A counter-rotating fan, comprising two impellers and a motor. The motor is used for driving the two impellers to rotate. The two impellers are axially spaced apart from each other, and are divided into a first-stage impeller and a second-stage impeller. When the counter-rotating fan operates, airflow is blown to the direction of the second-stage impeller by means of the first-stage impeller. At least one impeller has turns of blades arranged in the radial direction of the impeller. Blades of each turn are spaced apart from each other around a hub of the impeller, and a spacer ring is connected between two adjacent turns of blades. The counter-rotating fan is stable in rotation and good in cooling effect, it is not easy to deform, and the wind is strong in the center.

This invention relates to a multi-stage rotor (10). More specifically, the invention relates to a multistage rotor (10) for the compressor stage of a machine that, through a concentric configuration of its innermost (12), outermost (24) and intermediary (16) blade sets co-operative with a reverse flow convoluting ducting arrangement, provides an axially compact, lighter and more easily maintainable compressor rotor for such machine. The multi-stage rotor (10) includes innermost (30), outermost (34) and intermediary (32) duct ports comprising a radial duct spans, as measured between respective diametrically inner and outer duct walls of the duct port, being greater than respective innermost (48), outermost (54) and intermediary (50, 52) radial blade spans of the respective blade sets rotatable at least partially within such duct port. In this manner, a gap is defined between: (i) the at least one diametrical ends of the radial rotating blades ending radially short of the respective radial duct span to form free ends of the blades; and (ii) a stationary part of the respective duct the free ends of the blades sweep neared to; for generating a friction wash between such free ends of the blades and the stationary part of the respective duct.

A pump assembly includes multiple impeller stages, each impeller stage including at least one impeller vane. At least one impeller stage includes at least one impeller vane with at least one perforation disposed therethrough.

The present invention relates to a guide vane, in particular an outlet guide vane and/or a guide vane for a compressor stage of a gas turbine, wherein the vane has a vane blade with a first vane blade portion and a second vane blade portion, and the first vane blade portion can be reversibly rotated in relation to the second vane blade portion about an axis of rotation from a first position to a second position, wherein, in at least one profile portion of the vane blade, the axis of rotation is arranged outside of a profile of the first vane blade portion, and/or a profile of the first vane blade portion has a suction side with a first contour portion and a second contour portion, which, in particular, is adjoined thereto, and a profile of the second vane blade portion has a pressure-side contour portion.
