In one example, a centrifugal fan includes a bearing, a shaft rotatably supported by the bearing, fan blades operatively connected to and rotatable with the shaft to take in air axially and to exhaust air radially, and a groove in the shaft extending axially along an outer surface of the shaft through the bearing.

A fan shroud and a blower device are provided. The fan shroud includes a shroud wall surface and a plurality of ventilation openings. The shroud wall surface extends around a fan along a radial direction orthogonal to a rotation axis. The plurality of ventilation openings are formed through the shroud wall surface in a thickness direction of the shroud wall surface to allow passing of wind generated by a fan motor. A width of a wall surface side opening on a downstream side of the wind in the ventilation opening is smaller than a width of a lateral wall side opening on an upstream side of the wind in the ventilation opening.

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).

A gas turbine engine component having a cooling passage includes a first wall defining an inlet of the cooling passage, a second wall generally opposite the first wall and defining an outlet of the cooling passage, a metering section extending downstream from the inlet, and a diffusing section extending from the metering section to the outlet. The metering section includes an upstream side and a downstream side generally opposite the upstream side. At least one of the upstream and downstream sides includes a first passage wall and a second passage wall where the first and second passage walls intersect to form a V-shape.

An apparatus includes a pipeline-transport compressor configured to receive, in use, a product stream from a pipeline. The cooler unit is configured to receive, in use, a cooler air intake from the pipeline-transport compressor. This is done in such a way that removal of the cooler air intake by the cooler unit, in use, moves the cool air across the cooler bundles and out through the cooler unit, and cools the pipeline-transport compressor. An air exhaust power generation unit is configured to generate, in use, electric power in response to the cooler unit, in use, urging, at least in part, the cooler air intake toward, at least in part, the air exhaust power generation unit.

A cooling system is described. The cooling system includes a support structure, a cooling element, and drive electronics. The cooling element has a central axis and is supported by the support structure at the central axis. First and second portions of the cooling element are on first and second sides of the central axis and unpinned. The first and second portions of the cooling element undergo vibrational motion when actuated to drive a fluid toward a heat-generating structure. The cooling element further has first and second piezoelectrics having opposite polarizations. The first piezoelectric is part of the first portion of the cooling element. The second piezoelectric is part of the second portion of the cooling element. The drive electronics drive the first and second portions of the cooling element using a single drive signal.

A sealing system includes: a double mechanical seal having a pump-side sealing mechanism (10, 12) and an atmospheric-side sealing mechanism (11, 13); a pump mechanism (19) driven by a rotational shaft (1); a first medium circulation line (30) for circulating a fluid barrier-and-cooling medium between a first chamber (22a) and a second chamber (22b), the first medium circulation line (30) being coupled to the first chamber (22a) and the second chamber (22b), the fluid barrier-and-cooling medium being different from a fluid handled by the centrifugal pump; a heat exchanger (21) and a shut-off valve (28) attached to the first medium circulation line (30); a second medium circulation line (31) bypassing the shut-off valve (28); and a medium pressurizing pump (45) and an on-off valve (23) attached to the second medium circulation line (31).

A compressor comprising: a stator assembly comprising a plurality of stator elements; a rotor assembly comprising a shaft to which is mounted at least one bearing, a permanent magnet and an impeller; a support body; and an outer can comprising an air inlet. The support body comprises a hollow elongate central part to which is mounted the at least one bearing, and inside which the magnet is positioned, the elongate central part comprising a plurality of openings, and the air inlet of the outer can is axially aligned at least partially with the plurality of openings in the elongate central part.

An integrated ceiling device includes a housing retaining an electronic assembly, a heat sink having a central opening, a light source coupled onto the heat sink, the housing is coupled with and disposed at least partly above the heat sink, and a central vertical axis of the housing aligns or is in proximity with the central opening of the heat sink.

A fan structure is provided with a fan, a fan support, a base, and a motor. The fan is provided with a rotational shaft rotatable about a rotational shaft, and a blade coupled to the rotational shaft to rotate about the rotational axis together with the rotational shaft. The fan support rotatably supports the rotational shaft. The base slidably supports the fan support so as to be slidable in the sliding direction. The motor includes a motor main body supported by a fan support opposite to the rotational shaft of the fan in the axial direction along the rotational axis, and a motor rotational shaft connected to the rotational shaft so as to rotate the rotational shaft.
