摘要： An auxiliary bearing system for supporting a rotating shaft including a first auxiliary bearing coupled to the rotating shaft. A first inertia ring is coupled to and circumscribes the first auxiliary bearing. A second inertia ring circumscribes the first inertia ring. A radial clearance is defined between the first and second inertia rings when the rotating shaft is supported by a primary bearing system, and the first inertia ring engages the second inertia ring when the rotating shaft is not supported by the primary bearing system. A second auxiliary bearing is engaged with an outer surface of the second inertia ring.

摘要： A system for supporting a rotating shaft, including a primary bearing configured to maintain the shaft within a predetermined range of operational shaft positions; a process fluid source; and a hydrostatic auxiliary bearing having an inner surface manufactured from a self lubricating composite material. The hydrostatic auxiliary bearing is fluidically coupled to the process fluid source and configured to use a pressurized process fluid provided by the process fluid source to maintain the shaft within the predetermined range of operational shaft positions when the primary bearing fails to maintain the shaft within the predetermined range of operational shaft positions when the primary bearing fails.

摘要： To reduce noise and thereby increase turbine efficiency, the end walls and airfoils of a turbine are designed to reduce or eliminate radial pressure gradients on rotor blades and their incipient secondary flow vortices which may noisily excite downstream blade and vane rows. Instead of generating inefficient noise, the fluid energy may be properly directed into the shaft as efficient work.

摘要： An indicator device is for sensing a valve of a fluid machine including a casing having an interior chamber, a valve controlling flow into the interior chamber, and a rotatable shaft configured to displace the valve between open and closed positions when the shaft moves between first and second angular positions. A first indicator member, preferably a pinion gear, is coupled with the shaft such that angular movement of the shaft angularly displaces the first member. A second indicator member, preferably a rack gear, is coupled with the first member such that the angular displacement of the first member linearly displaces the second member. The second member linear displacement is generally proportional to angular displacement of the first member. Further, a sensor is configured to sense at least one of linear displacement and linear position of the second indicator member so as to sense the position of the valve.

摘要： A rotary impeller assembly is for a fluid machine and includes a support member having an outer surface and blades connected to the support member. Each blade includes first and second integral portions, the blade first portion having a first thickness and being spaced from the base surface and the blade second portion is disposed against the support member outer surface and has a second thickness. The second thickness is substantially greater than the first thickness such that the blade has greater stiffness proximal to the support and a lesser stiffness generally distal from the support. Preferably, the blades are connected with the support welds between each blade sidewall and the support member. Further, each blade first portion is sized such that the blade first thickness is maintained in a significant area of the blade spaced from the weld(s) so as to allow blade flexure away from the weld.
