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).

A gas recovery system for a compressor, said gas recovery system being equipped with: a distillation column that brings a supply gas in a liquid state into contact with a mixed gas, thereby cooling and liquefying a process gas in the mixed gas, and heating and gasifying the liquid supply gas; a process gas recovery line that is connected to the lower part of the distillation column and recovers the liquid process gas discharged from the distillation column; and a supply gas recovery line that is connected to the upper part of the distillation column and recovers the gaseous supply gas discharged from the distillation column.

A tangential on-board injector (TOBI), comprising: a body defining an annular passageway to receive cooling air, the TOBI defining a plurality of discharge nozzles; a rotating component mounted for rotation relative to the body about an axis of rotation; a seal extending between the body and the rotating component; a plurality of vanes circumferentially distributed about the axis of rotation and located downstream of the plurality of discharge nozzles relative to a flow of the cooling air circulating toward the seal from the plurality of discharge nozzles and upstream of the seal; and flow passages defined between the plurality of vanes, a flow passage of the flow passages extending along a passage axis, the passage axis having a tangential component at an outlet of the flow passage that is different than a tangential component of an exit flow axis of a nozzle of the plurality of discharge nozzles.

A water pump includes a mechanical seal provided between a housing and a rotary shaft for preventing cooling water from leaking from a whirl chamber. The housing forms a space into which cooling water leaked from between the mechanical seal and the rotary shaft is flown and a water vent for discharging cooling water flown into the space. The housing is joined with a thermostat cover to form a reservoir communicating with the water vent. The reservoir has a drain for releasing evaporated cooling water to the air and a control wall for preventing cooling water remaining as liquid from flowing out through the drain.

A water pump has a pump section having radial impeller blades, a rotational shaft for rotating the radial impeller blades, and a motor section provided in the rear of the pump section and driving the rotational shaft. The motor section has a motor casing, a motor housed in the motor casing and rotating the rotational shaft, bearings provided on both sides of the motor interposed between them on the rotational shaft, interposed between an inner surface of the motor casing and the rotational shaft, and rotatably supporting the rotational shaft. In the motor casing, a vent hole for venting air between a motor space in which the motor is disposed in the motor casing and an outside of the motor casing is formed.

A water pump that minimizes defects in which cooling water flows externally is provided. The water pump is provided with a rotating shaft supported by a body via a bearing, an impeller that is disposed at one end of the rotating shaft, and a seal member that is disposed between the impeller and the bearing. A drain passage that sandwiches the seal member and communicates with a space formed on the opposite side of the impeller is formed in the body, and a reservoir is formed downstream from the drain passage. At an upper position of a wall portion that forms the reservoir, a drain hole is formed, and a water-absorbing planar member is positioned in the reservoir.

A pump is provided which includes a pump housing, a drive shaft rotatably installed in the pump housing through a ball bearing, a pulley integrally connected to one end of the drive shaft through a flange wall, an impeller connected to the other end of the drive shaft, a cylindrical base part integrally connected to an outer periphery of the flange wall and six through openings formed in an outer peripheral part of the flange wall, in which each of the through openings has, at a generally middle part of a bottom surface of an inner surface thereof, a pathway groove that extends substantially along an inner cylindrical surface of the cylindrical base part, so that the performance of discharging water, dust and the like from the through openings formed in the flange wall is increased.

A journal configured to be driven in rotation in a housing of a turbine engine, or for an aircraft, the journal including: a circumferential main body including plural ventilation openings configured to allow plural axial airflows to circulate from upstream to downstream in the turbine engine, two consecutive ventilation openings being connected by a connecting segment, and a circumferential ring for recovering a flow of lubrication oil, which ring is rigidly connected to the main body and is radially inside the ventilation openings, the circumferential ring including plural radial discharge openings for allowing plural radial flows of oil to be discharged towards the outside, each discharge opening being radially aligned with a connecting segment of the main body to allow each flow of oil to be discharged radially between the airflows.

A compressor arrangement having a main compressor, a piping system containing process gas to be extracted after the shut-down of the main compressor and one or more components emitting or leaking depressurized process gas while the compressor is operating or starting up; the compressor arrangement further comprises one or more collectors arranged to collect the depressurized process gas emitted from said components and an additional compressor fluidly coupled with the piping system and with the collectors in in order to compress the depressurized process gas coming from the components while the compressor is starting up or operating and to compress process gas coming from the piping system after a shut-down of the compressor.

The invention relates to a measuring device for an aircraft engine, characterized by at least one probe device for measuring a physical and/or chemical state in at least one measuring space within the aircraft engine, wherein the at least one measuring space is fluidically connected to a cavity, and at least one air-conducting device, which is fluidically coupled to the cavity in such a manner that a fluid flow, in particular a gas flow, can be removed from the at least one cavity to a pressure sink. The invention also relates to an aircraft engine and to a measuring method.
