CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR

A centrifugal compressor includes: an impeller which is allowed to rotate around an axis; a casing which is provided with a return flow path allowing a fluid pressure-fed from the impeller to flow therein; and a return vane which is disposed inside the return flow path, wherein the return vane is provided with an injection port through which a liquid supplied from the outside is injected to the return flow path. Accordingly, power is further reduced while suppressing pressure loss.

Rotary machine

A rotary machine includes a cylindrical rotary shaft extending in a direction of an axis, a fastening bolt having a bolt body that extends in a direction of an axis O in the rotary shaft to form fastening portions at both ends, a pair of rotary bodies each having an end portion in the direction of the axis that is fixed to each of the pair of fastening portions to be in contact with an end surface of the rotary shaft in the direction of the axis, and a bolt extension mechanism that temporarily extends the bolt body in the direction of the axis.

SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COMPRESSOR INLET TEMPERATURE CONTROL

A system includes a compressor having a compressor inlet, a turbine having a plurality of stages disposed within a turbine casing, and a turbine extraction gas (TEG) heating system. The turbine is configured to drive the compressor via expansion of combustion products through the plurality of stages. The TEG heating system includes a turbine gas extraction system coupled to the turbine casing and to the compressor inlet. The turbine gas extraction system is configured to receive a portion of the combustion products as a turbine extraction gas (TEG) from the turbine. The TEG is received through the turbine casing, the TEG heating system is configured to supply a heated flow to the compressor inlet, and the heated flow includes the TEG.

Natural gas liquefaction system

Provided is a natural gas liquefaction system including a natural gas storage unit, a liquefied natural gas storage unit, body, a pumping unit, a sub-cooling unit, and a first distributing and conveying unit.

Turbocharger bearing housing

There is provided a turbocharger bearing housing having no necessity to use a core and capable of achieving cost reduction. A bearing housing of a turbocharger contains a shaft connecting a turbine and a compressor and turnably supports the shaft. The bearing housing of the turbocharger is divided into a turbine-side housing disposed at a turbine side and a compressor-side housing disposed at a compressor side. The turbine-side housing and the compressor-side housing is subjected to machining to thereby form a cooling water passage for supplying cooling water and a lubricating oil passage for supplying lubricating oil.
