A number of variations may include a product comprising: a turbomachinery device comprising: an electric motor surrounding a portion of a shaft constructed and arranged to selectively drive the shaft in rotation about a rotational axis, wherein the electric motor further comprises a stator comprising a lamination stack; a housing surrounding the electric motor, wherein the housing includes a plurality of channels constructed and arranged to lubricate a first bearing; and wherein the lamination stack includes at least one retention component wherein the retention component is constructed and arranged to locking the stator in an axial direction while locking rotation of the stator about the rotational axis and wherein the retention component further comprises at least one conduit constructed and arranged to pass fluid through the electric motor to a second bearing.

Systems and methods are described for processing a high-temperature process fluid using a processing machine in a subsea location while protecting dynamic seals within the machine. In some examples a small portion of the process fluid is cooled using a cooling system the cooled process fluid is then directed towards the dynamic seals. In other examples the dynamic seals are shielded and isolated from the high temperature process fluid and cooler barrier fluid is circulated within an enclosed volume in proximity to the seal.

The invention relates to a turbine engine comprising an air compression stage comprising at least one movable compressor wheel, an air inlet duct coupled to said air compression stage, a first sealing device, which is arranged between a front portion of the movable compressor wheel and the air inlet duct and comprising at least one seal, a channel for conveying the air compressed by the movable wheel and a second sealing device, which is arranged between a rear portion of the movable compressor wheel and the conveying channel and is configured to receive an airflow coming from the conveying channel, the turbine engine being remarkable in that the second sealing device is configured to allow some of the air passing therethrough to be bled and in that the bleed air is conveyed to the seal of the first sealing device so as to keep it under pressure.

A gas turbine engine includes a bearing support positioned fore of a compressor section along a primary flowpath. The bearing support internally includes a fluid reservoir with a reservoir tube, a fluid pump with a fluid pump tube, and a fluid coupler coupling the reservoir tube to the fluid pump tube.

A gas turbine engine, comprising a fan driven by a fan shaft and retractable axial retainer of the shaft mounted on a stator element and movable between a first operational position and a second non-operational position. The retainer may comprise a fluid supply configured for supplying at least one cavity with fluid. In some examples, the retainer is mounted movable or slidingly so as to generate movement of the retainer between the operation and non-operational positions.

A bearing apparatus includes a cylindrical sleeve, a shaft rotatably inserted in the sleeve, lubricating oil arranged in a gap defined between an inner circumferential surface of the sleeve and an outer circumferential surface of the shaft, a seal member arranged at an axially upper end portion of the sleeve projecting from the sleeve, and an annular member fixed to an outer circumferential surface of the axially upper end portion of the shaft to rotate together with the shaft. The annular member includes a projecting portion projecting axially downward. The seal member and an axially lower end portion of the projecting portion overlap each other when viewed in at least one of the axial direction or a radial direction.

A turbocharger rotating assembly (125) includes a shaft (20) rotatably supported in a bearing housing (123) via bearings (26, 128), a compressor impeller (18) mounted on the shaft (20), and an oil flinger (122) disposed on the shaft (20) between the bearings (26, 128) and the compressor impeller (18). The turbocharger (100) further includes an insert (134) disposed in the shaft-receiving axial bore (120) so as to surround the oil flinger (122), and a purge seal (160) operatively positioned in an interface (131) between the insert (134) and the oil flinger (122), whereby the purge seal (160) is configured to minimize oil passage from the bearing housing (123) into the interface (131). An annular cavity (150) encircles the radially outward-facing surface (138) of the insert (134), the cavity (150) forming a portion of a fluid path configured to deliver pressurized fluid to the interface (131).

A rotating machine having a rotor mounted to rotate in a casing and bearing at least a plurality of impellers is provided. The machine may include at least one seal ring disposed radially between the rotor and the casing and mounted to move radially in a seal support of the casing, and wherein it includes a damping system for the seal ring disposed radially between the seal ring and the seal support. The damping system is configured to damp the seal.

An underwater motor pump includes a motor case that accommodates an electric motor which supplies a rotational force to an output shaft, a pump case that has a discharge pipe and that accommodates a first impeller provided on the output shaft, and an inverter case that accommodates an inverter device which controls the electric motor. The inverter case is disposed between the pump case and the motor case.
