    摘要: A double suction impeller is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the impeller is configured for centrifugal pumps and hydraulic power recovery turbines. The impeller's flow-path arrangement comprises inter-blade channels, intersecting each other at the impeller's outer diameter and defining a variable cross section shape, so that the equivalent number of blades is at least doubled with respect to a conventional configuration obtained by the coupling of two single suction impellers and an improved control over the velocity of the flow within the inter-blade channels is achieved.

    摘要: A thermodynamic system containing a working fluid is disclosed. The thermodynamic system comprises at least a working fluid collection vessel (11) adapted to contain a liquid phase and a gaseous phase of the working fluid in thermodynamic equilibrium. A chilling arrangement (51) is functionally coupled to the fluid collection vessel (11) and adapted to remove heat from the working fluid collected in the working fluid collection vessel (11) and thereby reduce pressure in said thermodynamic system. Also disclosed are methods for depressurizing a thermodynamic system containing a working fluid in liquid/gas equilibrium.

    摘要: A valve for reciprocating compressors having a valve seat provided with first gas flow passages extending across, a valve guard having second gas flow passages extending across and at least one movable sealing element arranged between the valve guard and the valve seat and configured to move between a closed position, in which the passage of fluid is prevented, and an open position in which the passage of fluid is allowed. The movable sealing element is resiliently biased by resilient members against the valve seat to close the first gas flow passages and the valve seat and the valve guard are relatively movable to define a variable gap or lift for the sealing element.
