Disclosed is a high-speed turbo machine enabling cooling thermal equilibrium and, more particularly, to a high-speed turbo machine enabling cooling thermal equilibrium, the high-speed turbo machine maximizing the cooling efficiency thereof by compressing and discharging external air suctioned therein, cooling an air compressor in a suction air-cooling method, decreasing a flow path of air for cooling the inside of the turbo machine and the air compressor, and optimizing the flow path. Accordingly, the present invention uses the suction air-cooling method and guides the flow of air for cooling the turbo machine through a specific path, so that it maximizes the efficiency and durability of the turbo machine, the cost reduction owing to the structural simplification of the turbo machine, and the easiness of maintenance by preventing an increase in temperature of the inside of the turbomachine casing (100) and the air compressor (200).

Airflow from a blower fan can be adjusted between a cooling air mode where cooling air flows freely to the ambient surroundings and a noise mode where the airflow is partially or fully restricted in order to produce different levels of soothing background noise. The airflow from the fan can be split or divided between varying degrees and combinations of unrestricted airflow, partially restricted airflow and fully restricted airflow to produce a wide range of cooling airflows into the ambient with or without the production of additional background noise. A perforated drum surrounds the fan to form a chamber within which airflow can resonate at various frequencies and amplify noise levels selected by rotating the drum around the fan.

A compressor comprises a compressor housing, a compressor wheel mounted within the housing and having compressor blades, and a bearing housing.

The diffuser member has a radially outer portion connected to the cover member and a radially inner portion connected to the bearing housing. The diffuser member has a first weakened region defined at a first position intermediate the radially outer portion and the radially inner portion, and a first strengthened region defined at a second position intermediate the radially outer portion and the radially inner portion, said second position being radially inwards or outwards of the first weakened region.

A compressor cover may be connected with the bearing housing, which may form a compressor body and may define a chamber within which the compressor wheel may rotate. A diffuser may extend radially outward from the chamber and may receive gas from the compressor wheel. An inlet may be provided to the compressor body, which may receive a supply of exhaust gas. An EGR distribution cavity may be defined within the compressor body and may extend around the shaft. An EGR inlet channel may extend into the bearing housing from the inlet to the EGR distribution cavity. An EGR passage may extend from the EGR distribution cavity to the diffuser.

The alignment tool includes a body defining a center axis and having at least one tool datum configured for abutting against the casing. A plurality of alignment members are fixed to the body and extend radially from the body relative to the center axis. Each alignment member of the plurality of alignment members has a respective fixed position relative to the at least one tool datum. The plurality of alignment members are configured to abut the plurality of diffuser pipes.

A blower is provided that may include a fan that creates airflow; a lower body forming an inner space in which the fan may be installed, and having at least one suction hole through which air passes; an upper body positioned above the lower body and including a first upper body forming a first inner space that communicates with the inner space of the lower body, and a second upper body forming a second inner space that communicates with the inner space of the lower body and spaced apart from the first upper body; a space formed between the first upper body and the second upper body and opened in a frontward-rearward direction; a first opening formed through a first boundary surface of the first upper body facing the space; a second opening formed through a second boundary surface of the second upper body facing the space; and a door assembly including a first door installed at the first upper body and that opens and closes the first opening, and a second door installed at the second upper body and that opens and closes the second opening.

A compressor is provided with: an impeller a housing configured to rotatably house the impeller and having an intake passage for introducing a gas to the impeller from outside the housing, a scroll passage for guiding the gas having passed through the impeller to the outside, and a bypass passage connecting the intake passage and the scroll passage so as to bypass the impeller; and a bypass valve having a valve body disposed in the bypass passage and capable of opening and closing the bypass passage. The valve body is configured to, in a fully closed state, separate the bypass passage into an inlet-side passage having a communication port communicating with the scroll passage and an outlet-side passage communicating with the intake passage. An inlet-side passage wall surface which defines the inlet-side passage includes at least an upstream passage wall surface portion connected to an upstream end of the communication port in a cross-sectional view of the housing taken along an axis of the impeller. The upstream passage wall surface portion is configured such that an angle between the upstream passage wall surface portion and an upstream scroll wall surface of a scroll passage wall surface which defines the scroll passage connected to the upstream end is less than 90 degrees.
