Shaft seal including an upstream non-contact part
A rotary machine includes a stationary housing, a rotor, a shaft, a bearing unit, and a sealing arrangement to seal the bearing unit with respect to the rotor. The sealing arrangement includes a stationary sealing element surrounding the shaft. The sealing arrangement includes a rotor ring to prevent an axial flow along the shaft to the rotor and a cover plate, the rotor ring rotationally fixedly connected to the rotor and arranged axially adjacent to the sealing element, the rotor ring including a radially outer edge extending in the axial direction and surrounding the sealing element. The cover plate is fixed with respect to the housing and surrounding the rotor ring, and has an outer rim, a drain chamber formed between the outer edge of the rotor ring and the outer rim of the cover plate, and a discharge passage to discharge the drain chamber.
ELECTRIC PUMP WITH JACKET
An electric pump for moving a liquid, comprising a containment jacket which encloses: a mechanical section, which comprises an assembly for moving the liquid which comprises one or more impellers, interleaved by diffusers, keyed on a driving shaft, an electromechanical section, comprising an electric motor, contained in a shell and comprising in turn a rotor and a stator that surrounds the rotor, the rotor being keyed on the driving shaft, the electric pump comprising, at the ends of the jacket, a first cover and a second cover, the second cover having an intake port and a delivery port which are fluidically connected to the mechanical section.
The jacket is provided monolithically.
Pump drip control system
A pump drip control system for attachment to a pump assembly to prevent premature replacement of the pump. The control system includes a pump housing having a leakage collection chamber and a drip cap engaged with a second end of the leakage collection chamber. The drip cap includes a circumferential channel defining a flow path to a gathering chamber. The pump drip control system further includes a slinger assembly located within the leakage collection chamber, and wherein, in operation, the slinger assembly directs liquid leakage from the impeller shaft to the drip cap and the circumferential channel within the drip cap which directs the liquid along the circumferential flow path and into the gathering chamber. The gathering chamber can hold a predetermined amount of liquid until the liquid evaporates and includes a liquid exit port for draining excessive liquid out of the pump housing to another location.
WATER PUMP
In a water pump, a water reservoir portion into which cooling water leaking from between a bearing portion and a rotating shaft flows via an introduction hole is divided into a first division portion and a second division portion by a gasket. The first division portion and the second division portion communicate with each other through a communication hole formed in the gasket. The second division portion includes a drain hole through which cooling water is discharged to outside.
Nuclear abrasive slurry waste pump with backstop and macerator
Nuclear abrasive slurry waste pump systems, devices, and methods for retrieving waste materials and/or other material from storage tanks with liquefied tank material. The systems, devices and methods can work with tanks having high temperature conditions up to approximately 212 degrees Fahrenheit or low temperature conditions down to approximately 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
TANGENTIAL ON-BOARD INJECTOR (TOBI) ASSEMBLY
A tangential on-board injector (TOBI) having: a body defining an annular passageway, discharge nozzles; a rotating component configured to be mounted for rotation relative to the body about an axis of rotation; a seal extending between the body and the rotating component; and flow passages circumferentially distributed about the axis of rotation and in fluid communication with the nozzles and the seal, the flow passages located upstream of the seal relative to a flow of the cooling air circulating toward the seal from the plurality of discharge nozzles, each of the flow passages extending along a respective passage axis, the passage axis of at least one of the flow passages having a tangential component at an outlet of the at least one of the flow passages that is different than a tangential component of an exit flow axis of at least one of the plurality of discharge nozzles.
Vented tangential on-board injector for a gas turbine engine
An on-board injector that delivers discharge air toward a turbine rotor of a gas turbine engine includes a second wall spaced form a first wall to define an annular inlet about an engine longitudinal axis and a multiple of airfoil shapes between the first wall and the second wall to segregate discharge air from the annular inlet, and a multiple of bypass apertures each along a radial axis transverse to the engine longitudinal axis through each of the multiple of airfoil shapes and the respective first wall, the second wall.
MEASURING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR AN AIRCRAFT ENGINE AND AN AIRCRAFT ENGINE
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.
FLUID DIFFUSION DEVICE FOR SEALED BEARING COMPARTMENT DRAINBACK SYSTEM
A diffuser for an oil drainback system drain tube includes a flow chamber configured for attachment to an open end of a drain tube, wherein the flow chamber has a side wall and an end wall, and openings in at least the side wall.
FLUID DRAIN SYSTEM FOR AN AIRCRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM
An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a first drain tube, a second drain tube, a container and a gas tube. The container fluidly couples the first drain tube to the second drain tube. The container is configured to receive fluid from the first drain tube. The gas tube is fluidly coupled with the container. The gas tube is configured to direct gas into the container for propelling the fluid received within the container into the second drain tube.
