A motor assembly includes an impeller, a first diffuser at a downstream side of the impeller, a second diffuser at a downstream side of the first diffuser, an impeller cover coupled to the second diffuser and accommodating the impeller and the first diffuser, and a motor provided at the downstream side of the second diffuser to drive the impeller. The second diffuser includes a hub, an outer wall concentrically disposed outside the hub, and a plurality of blades having one side connected to the hub and the other side connected to the outer wall. The impeller cover is coupled to the outer wall of the second diffuser. A communicating portion for allowing fluid communication between inside and outside of the hub of the second diffuser is provided at the hub of the second diffuser.

REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR WITH WEAR SLEEVE AND LUBRICANT BLENDS FOR HANDLING DEBRIS-LADEN FLUIDS

A compressor including a housing, a shaft configured to be rotated relative to the housing to compress a refrigerant, a motor configured to drive the shaft, a lubrication system configured to supply lubricant to the compressor, and a bearing configured to support the shaft. The shaft includes a wear-resistant sleeve-like treatment on at least a portion of an outer surface of the shaft adjacent the bearing. The lubricant is POE oil or a lubricant blend composition that includes two or more lubricants, the two or more lubricants including a first lubricant and a second lubricant.

Water-cooled centrifugal compressor housing assembly, and turbocharger incorporating same

A water-cooled compressor housing assembly for a turbocharger includes a compressor housing that defines an open-ended cavity extending axially downstream into the compressor housing, and a separately formed cover that is affixed to the compressor housing so as to close the open end of the cavity and thereby define a coolant passage for a liquid coolant to be circulated through. A coolant inlet and a coolant outlet are provided for supplying coolant into and exhausting coolant from the coolant passage. The compressor housing has a simplified geometry that is manufacturable by sand casting without needed a sand core for the coolant passage, or by die casting.

Cross-flow impeller mounting structure, air duct component and apparatus having cross-flow impeller

A cross-flow impeller mounting structure includes a housing and an impeller shaft support structure mounted on the housing and adapted to mount and support one end of a cross-flow impeller shaft away from a motor; the housing is adapted to mount a cross-flow impeller and match the cross-flow impeller to form an air duct; the housing includes: a side wall; a first end wall connected to one end of the side wall and provided with a first mounting through hole having an aperture which matches an outer diameter of the motor driving the cross-flow impeller to rotate and is adapted to mount the motor; a second end wall connected to the other end of the side wall and provided with a second mounting through hole for the cross-flow impeller to mount; the second end wall, the first end wall and the side wall encloses a cavity receiving the cross-flow impeller.

Turbomachines with decoupled collectors
11421695 · 2022-08-23 · ·

Turbomachines such as air dynamometers are disclosed that include a radial outflow compressor and gas collector. In some examples, the gas collector is designed as a separate component that is coupled to the machine, such as coupled to a frame. In some examples, the collector and frame are intentionally spaced and coupled at discrete points to minimize the transfer of mechanical and thermal energy therebetween. Aspects of the present disclosure also include turbomachines that include at least one impeller bypass flow path for the direct transfer of air between ambient and a location in the collector downstream of the impeller blades. In some examples, such flowpath(s) may allow for the inflow of external ambient air into the collector.

Compressor housing for turbocharger and method for manufacturing the same
11434912 · 2022-09-06 · ·

A compressor housing for a turbocharger dividably composed of a plurality of pieces including a scroll piece, and a shroud piece. The scroll piece and the shroud piece are assembled to each other by press-fitting a press-fitting portion of the shroud piece into a press-fitted portion of the scroll piece. Pressure-contacting portions that are provided on either one of the scroll piece and the shroud piece are pressure-contacted with pressure-contacted portions that are provided on the other one of the scroll piece and the shroud piece, respectively. As a result, the pressure-contacting portions plastically flow to form seal parts for sealing the scroll piece and the shroud piece, respectively.
