摘要:
The present invention concerns a power generating apparatus for generating power from a fluid flowing in a pipe (14). The apparatus includes a cylindrical body (13), and an annular turbine (4) for driving an electric generator. Fluid bearings (8, 9, 10) support the turbine (4). A central flow passage (17) extends through the entire power generating apparatus. A fluid conditioner stage removes contamination of solid particles from the fluid, for conditioning the fluid before entering the fluid bearing (8, 9, 10), lubricated by the fluid. A first static flow shaper (1) is included in the fluid conditioner stage for providing a rotating vortex flow acting to concentrate the contamination of solid particles in a flow along an outer circumference of the apparatus and an uncontaminated flow to the bearings (8, 9, 10).

A mixer for a fluid flow in a pipe connection, especially for homogenizing a multiphase flow, has a housing to be inserted in the pipe connection for the fluid to flow through. In the housing there are at least one and preferably two or more adjoining and individually displaceable regulating elements having cooperating wall portions with flow passages. At an upstream side radial flow passages cause the fluid to converge into a central chamber. In the cooperating wall portions, a number of flow channels can be aligned or misaligned with one another and/or the inlet and outlet openings to regulate and control flow by movement of the regulating elements. The regulating elements also define a full cross-section opening at 90.degree. to the flow passages, which can clear the passage between the inlet and outlet for passage of a pipe pig.
摘要:
A generator (20) for in situ fluid-driven production of electric energy and also a method of making the generator (20), which comprises a stator and a rotor. The stator is formed as a turbine housing (1) having at least one internal cavity (2) within which at least one independent rotor body (3) is arranged without a fixed mechanical support in the turbine housing (1). The turbine housing (1) comprises at least one supply channel (8) and at least one discharge channel (9) connected to the cavity (2) for throughput of a generator-driving fluid (13). The cavity (2) is of a circular shape along at least one path of rotation therein, whereas the rotor body (3) is of a rotary-symmetrical shape for allowing rotation thereof along said path of rotation. The turbine housing (1) is provided with at least one coil (5) at the periphery of the cavity (2), whereas the rotor body (3) is provided with at least one permanent magnet (4) at the periphery of the rotor body (3).
