Abstract: This valve is integrated into a fluid distribution network and enables selective interruption or authorization of the circulation of a fluid. The valve includes a fluid blocking member driven in rotation by an actuator device of the valve and at least one journal, a hollow body inside which the blocking member is mobile and which defines at least one bore for receiving the journal, and a bearing disposed around each journal and inside the bore of the body enabling support of the journal and guidance thereof in rotation relative to the bore, thereby centering the journal. The valve further includes a device for immobilizing and sealing for maintenance the journal relative to the body of the valve. This immobilization device is disposed on the same side of the bearing as the internal volume of the hollow body and is maneuverable via the bearing to go from a non-clamped first configuration to a clamped second configuration in which it immobilizes the journal in the bore and vice versa.

The peripheral edge (212) of at least one of the vanes is curved, the concavity thereof facing to ward the outside of the runner (200). The maximum value of the distance measured between any point on the peripheral edge (202) and a straight line passing through a first connection point between the peripheral edge (212) and the wheel (1), and through a second connection point between the peripheral edge (212) and the crown (12), is at an intermediate point on the peripheral edge (212). The radius (Rn) from the intermediate point (N) is strictly smaller than the radius (Ra) from the first connection point (A). The radius (Rn) from the intermediate point (N) is strictly smaller than the radius (Rc) from the second connection point (C).

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for modifying the geometry of at least one part of a turbine, which can include a shell assembly that includes an outer shell that is shaped to modify the shape of a pre-existing element of a turbine. The outer shell of the shell assembly can be composed of a fiber-reinforced polymeric material and can at least partially define an inner cavity. The outer shell can be bonded to a structure to modify the geometrical shape of that structure. Thereafter, a polymer casting can be injected into the inner cavity via at least one injection port attached to the shell assembly. In some embodiments, one or more stiffeners and/or a core can be positioned within the inner cavity to help improve the bonding of the polymer casting to the shell and/or improve a structural property of the apparatus.
