An annular turbine engine stator portion including a structural support provided in succession with a bonding underlayer and with an abradable coating formed by a resin filled with microbeads, the bonding underlayer for fastening the abradable coating to the structural support being formed by fiber reinforcement made of long fibers having a peripheral portion of the reinforcement that is secured to the structural support and having a central portion thereof that is impregnated with the resin filled with microbeads while the abradable coating is being fastened to the structural support.

This impeller is equipped with: an impeller body formed from a resin and shaped as a disk with an axis as the center thereof, and having a boss hole section formed therein which a rotating shaft for rotating around the axis engages; compressor blades provided on the front-surface side of the impeller body; and a ring-shaped reinforcing ring provided inside the impeller body in the circumferential direction of the impeller body.

A method of forming a sprayed coating includes preparing a spray target member having a surface on which openings of first ends of holes are formed, preparing a plurality of masking pins each of which comprises metal, and inserting each of the masking pins into a corresponding one of the holes so that each of the masking pins partially protrudes from the surface. The method also includes applying an adhesive agent for fixing the masking pins to the respective holes, to at least one of the holes or the masking pins, forming a ceramic layer by spraying on the surface of the spraying target member, the ceramic layer comprising a ceramic material, while the masking pins are fixed to the respective holes via the adhesive agent, and removing the masking pins from the holes after the spraying step.

The present invention relates to a rotor assembly for a rotary machine such as a gas turbine. The present solution provides a sealing wire located inside a groove engraved in the rotor body. The sealing wire is responsive to radial centrifugal forces acting during normal operation of the machine, and moves radially in the groove until a sealing configuration is achieved such to prevent damaging hot leakage towards machine components.

This fan motor includes a motor, an impeller arranged to rotate together with a rotating portion of the motor, a housing arranged to house the motor and the impeller therein, and a lead wire connected to the motor and arranged to extend outwardly of the housing. The housing includes a tubular portion, a bottom plate portion fixed below the motor, and a support portion arranged to extend from at least a portion of the tubular portion toward the bottom plate portion, and joined to at least a portion of the bottom plate portion. The support portion includes a groove portion recessed upward. The tubular portion includes a cut portion defined at a portion thereof continuous with the groove portion. The lead wire is drawn out of the housing through the groove portion and the cut portion. At least one of the groove portion and the cut portion has a thermosetting resin arranged therein.

The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for repairing an abradable material coated on a casing of a gas turbine engine. The system includes an articulating guide configured to fit into an access port of the gas turbine engine. Further, the articulating guide has a proximal end and a distal end. The system also includes a repair tool configured at a distal end of the articulating guide. The repair tool includes a body having a proximal end and a shaped distal end, with the shaped distal end extending away from the body. Thus, the shaped distal body is configured to trench out an area of the abradable material comprising a defect. The system also includes a filler material for filling the trenched out area.

A coating membrane for a component of a gas-turbine engine includes a solid membrane having a metallic foil or a polymeric film, and having a thickness and at least one kerf extending through the thickness to define a kerf pattern such that the solid membrane can be applied to a compound-curved surface. Also disclosed are a coated component coated with the membrane, and a method for producing a coated component with the membrane.

The disclosure describes the improvement of mobile floating submersible pump systems where such systems are used for rapid deployment water transfer. Such systems are deployed within industrial fire fighting, flood control operations (FIG. 7) and similar water transfer requirements. A floating submersible pump is designed to separate the power system (FIG. 7, item 11), such as a diesel engine, from the pump body (FIG. 7, item 16), which further enables the operator to deploy a pumping system where traditional ground based centrifugal pumps are unable to physically siphon the water. Floating submersible pump systems are cumbersome in nature, requiring heavy equipment and significant manpower to deploy them. The innovation disclosed uses advancements in structural fiber reinforced materials to drastically reduce the weight of such systems, which removes the need for heavy deployment equipment, with the added benefit of corrosion protection from saline environments through the use of chemically inert composites.

A vacuum pump in which a spark is not generated even when a rotor component and a stator component are brought into contact, and an explosive reaction in a vacuum container can be prevented, and a protection portion provided in the vacuum pump are provided. On head part sides of a thread ridge to a thread ridge of a threaded spacer with a narrow clearance of a gas channel therebetween, a protection portion 1a to a protection portion made of non-metal are formed in a peripheral state. A protection portion is similarly formed in the peripheral state also on an inner peripheral surface side of a stator blade spacer opposed to a distal end of a rotor blade with a narrow clearance of the gas channel. The protection portion is formed of non-metal with a sufficient thickness so that metal materials of base materials are not brought into contact with each other even when a rotor blade and a stationary portion are brought into contact with each other.
