A centrifugal compressor includes a casing body (11) configured to rotatably support a rotation shaft (2) and an impeller (3) fixed to the rotation shaft around an axis (O), the casing body in which an intake volute (B1) which has a ring shape centered on the axis and through which a processing gas (G) is caused to flow in a direction of the axis and is introduced into a flow channel of the impeller, and a discharge volute which has a ring shape centered on the axis and through which the processing gas is discharged from the flow channel are formed; and a plurality of intake nozzles (16) which communicate with the intake volute and are able to cause the processing gas to flow into the intake volute from the outside and are provided at intervals in a circumferential direction around the rotation shaft.

A system is for preventing molding on an evaporator associated with a vehicle air conditioning system for supplying conditioned air to a vehicle passenger cabin. The system includes a blower for selectively directing airflow over the evaporator and a controller for controlling the blower based on a sensed humidity adjacent the evaporator. The controller may also control a pump for circulating warm coolant from an engine cooling system to a heater core to warm the airflow directed to the evaporator by the blower, and thus contribute to the drying provided. Related methods are also disclosed.

The present invention provides an air purifier including a plurality of bi-directional fans, which are arranged to be misaligned in a vertical direction such that the discharge directions of discharge ports are different from each other.

The present invention relates to an electric compressor (9, 17) including a shaft (13) rotated by an electric motor by means of bearings (16), the shaft rotating a compressor wheel (14), the compressor (9) including two sealing segments (29a, 29b) mounted around the shaft (13) between the bearings (16) and the compressor wheel (14) and including a vent hole (31, 35, 38) for circulation of pollutant flows toward the outside of the compressor, the inlet of which is arranged between the two sealing segments, the vent hole including a non-return element (36).

An aspect includes a system for a gas turbine engine. The system includes one or more bleeds of the gas turbine engine and a control system configured to check one or more activation conditions of a dirt rejection mode in the gas turbine engine. A bleed control schedule of the gas turbine engine is adjusted to extend a time to hold the one or more bleeds of the gas turbine engine partially open at a power setting above a threshold based on the one or more activation conditions. One or more deactivation conditions of the dirt rejection mode in the gas turbine engine are checked. The dirt rejection mode is deactivated to fully close the one or more bleeds based on the one or more deactivation conditions.
