The impeller of a rotating machine according to at least one embodiment of the present discloser is provided with: a disc; a cover disposed on an opposite side of a radial passage from the disc in an axial direction; and a blade disposed between the disc and the cover. In a dimensionless position along a camber line of the blade when the position of a leading edge of the blade is defined as 0 and the position of a trailing edge of the blade is defined as 1, a position where an angle difference between a first blade angle at a disc-side end portion of the blade and a second blade angle at a cover-side end portion of the blade is maximum is in a range of 0.5 or more and 1 or less. The first blade angle is −10 degrees or more and 0 degrees or less at the position where the angle difference is maximum.

A heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) system includes a compressor with a gas bearing supplied with compressed gas and a controller. The controller is configured to determine an inlet pressure and outlet pressure of the gas bearing, determine a maximum speed limit based on the inlet pressure and the outlet pressure, and prevent the compressor from operating at a speed that is greater than the maximum speed limit. A method of controlling a compressor includes calculating a maximum speed limit based on an inlet pressure and an outlet pressure of the gas bearing. The method also includes in response to determining that a speed setting is greater than the maximum speed limit, adjusting operation of the compressor such that a speed of the compressor is at or below the maximum speed limit.

A heat transfer circuit includes a compressor, a condenser, an expander, and an evaporator that are fluidly connected together. The compressor includes a housing and a shaft rotatable relative to the housing to compress a working fluid received at a suction inlet, in which the shaft is supported by a gas bearing, and the gas bearing including a bearing housing having a fluid inlet and an outlet. A high pressure gas source is fluidly connected to the fluid inlet of the bearing housing for supplying high pressure fluid to the fluid inlet of the gas bearing such that the gas bearing supports the shaft when the shaft is rotating. A pressure reducer is connected to the outlet of the gas bearing is provided for reducing a vent pressure of the gas bearing.

A dual impeller includes: a hub configured to rotate about a rotation axis; a plurality of first blades which are disposed on a first surface of the hub along a circumferential direction of the hub; a first shroud which is mounted on the plurality of first blades to cover the plurality of first blades; and a plurality of second blades which are disposed on a first surface of the first shroud along a circumferential direction of the first shroud.

An impeller includes: a disk which is supported so as to be rotatable around an axis and which includes an outer peripheral surface expanding toward an outside in a radial direction of the disk as it goes to a downstream side in an axial direction of the axis; blades which are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the disk at intervals in a circumferential direction of the disk; and a cover which is disposed at a position facing the outer peripheral surface of the disk so as to cover the blades. A leading edge of each of the blades includes: a straight portion which extends toward the downstream side in the axial direction of the axis as it goes to the disk from the cover; and a protrusion portion close to the disk and which is protruded from an extension of the straight portion.

There is provided a rotating machinery including: a rotating body R which is rotatable around an axis O and has a first facing surface P1 that widens in a plane intersecting the axis O; a stationary body S which faces the first facing surface P1 from the axial direction O, and has a second facing surface P2 forming a flow path F1 through which a fluid flows from a radially inner side toward the radially outer side between the first facing surface P1 and the second facing surface P2; and a rotation side projection portion 80 which projects from the first facing surface P1 toward the second facing surface P2, has an annular shape around the axis O, and faces the second facing surface P2 via a clearance C.

A compressor has a rotor. The rotor includes a plurality of impellers that include a disk having a solid structure having a buried center, and are adjacent to each other in an axial direction, and a plurality of bolts for fixing the plurality of impellers together. The disk has a disk surface facing the axial direction and a bolt hole penetrating the disk at a position deviated outward from an axis in a radial direction. The disk surface includes a contact surface of which at least a part is located outside the bolt hole in the radial direction, and a non-contact surface which is a region inside the contact surface in the radial direction.

A centrifugal blower includes a centrifugal fan and a separation cylinder. The centrifugal fan has a separation plate. The separation cylinder is disposed inward of the blades in the radial direction of the centrifugal fan. The separation plate has an inner end surface extending from the one side to the other side in the axial direction at a position of an inner end in the radial direction. The separation cylinder has a separation cylinder end surface extending from the one side to the other side in the axial direction at a position of an end on the other side in the axial direction. A height of one of the separation cylinder end surface and the inner end surface in the axial direction is larger than a height of the other of the separation cylinder end surface and the inner end surface in the axial direction.

Compressor rotor structure for turbomachinery, such as a compressor, is provided. Disclosed embodiments can benefit from sealing sleeves that may be arranged to inhibit passage onto respective hirth couplings of process fluid being processed by the compressor. The sealing sleeves may be affixed to adjoining structures (e.g., adjoining impeller bodies) by way of a slip fit connection to one of the adjoining structures and an interference fit connection with respect to the other adjoining structure, which is conducive to a user-friendly assembly of the sealing sleeves with the adjoining structures.

The present invention relates to an air compressor for a vehicle and, more specifically, to an air compressor for a vehicle wherein the entire operation of the air compressor may be stabilized by a cooling unit in which a portion of the compressed air that moves through a connection pipe conveying primarily compressed air exchanges heat with a cooling water flowing part to cool the driving unit.
