摘要:
An auxiliary bearing including a support structure extending at least partially around a circumference of a shaft. A first pedestal may extend in a radially-inward direction from the support structure. First and second beams may extend from opposite sides of the first pedestal in a plane perpendicular to an axis of the shaft. First and second rollers may be operatively coupled to the first and second beams, and the first and second rollers may be configured to engage the shaft.
摘要:
A collection apparatus for a separator. The collection apparatus including a housing at least partially encircling a flow separation passage and defining a chamber and a cutout, the chamber being in fluid communication with the flow separation passage to receive a separated flow therefrom, and the cutout extending outward from the chamber to at least partially deflect the separated flow.

A method for fabricating a turbine inlet casing (10) includes the steps of providing a block (14) having upstream and dowstream facs (26, 28), cutting a circular shaft opening (16) through the block, cutting an inlet plenum (34) through the block along a central axis of the block, cutting one or more distribution ports (18) through the block along the central axis, attaching cover plates (22, 24) to the upstream and/or downstream faces over the passages and ports, making connecting holes (20) between the inlet plenum and distribution ports, making a turbine inlet hole (42), and splitting the block along a line perpendicular to the central axis.

A turbine diaphragm assembly in accordance with the present invention includes inner and outer endwall rings (46 and 48), nozzle vanes (42), tenons (44), and inner and outer retaining rings (50 and 52). Each of the vanes (42) has two opposing ends (64) and is positioned between the inner and outer endwall rings (46 and 48), with each of the tenons (44) protruding radially inward or outward through one of the openings (86) in the inner or outer endwall rings (46 and 48). The inner and outer retaining rings (50 and 52) each have inner and outer radial surfaces with the outer radial surface of the inner retaining ring (50) having a first circumferential groove (54) and with the inner radial surface of the outer retaining ring (52) having a second circumferential groove (54). The portion of the tenons in the inner and outer retaining rings (50 and 52) protrudes radially inward and outward through the openings (86) in the inner and outer endwall rings (46 and 48) positioned in the first and second circumferential grooves (54).
摘要:
A "bolt on" static separator is disclosed for use in conjunction with a rotating separator to handle higher liquid volumes that are not able to be effectively separated by the rotating separator alone. The static separator may be positioned upstream of the rotating separator, generally right in front of the rotating separator, i.e., immediately ahead of the inlet to the rotating separator and generally attached directly to the front end of the rotary separator. The static separator may include a significant change in flow path direction that is sufficient to cause coarse fluid separation. The output of the static separator is in communication with the input of the rotating separator. Additionally, the drain of the static separator is in communication with the drain of the rotating separator and is at the same pressure.
摘要:
A separator method and apparatus that includes a rotatable drum defining an annular passageway therein, a plurality of blades coupled to the rotatable drum and located in the annular passageway, each of the plurality of blades including a leading section, a trailing section, a concave surface, and a convex surface, the concave and convex surfaces extending from the leading section to the trailing section, each of the plurality of blades disposed circumferentially adjacent to at least another one of the plurality of blades so as to define blade flowpaths therebetween, and a housing at least partially surrounding the rotatable drum and defining a fluid collection chamber fluidly communicating with the annular passageway.
