Abstract:
Variable nozzle (10) for a gas turbine fixed to a shaft (11) equipped with a pressurized upper surface (12) and a depressurized lower surface opposite to the upper surface (12), the variable nozzle comprises a series of substantially "C"-shaped sections, each having a first rounded end and a second rounded end each section of the series of sections also having the concavity facing upwards with respect to a base (90) and arranged one after another continuously, in the direction of an axis of the shaft (11) along a curved line (60), the at least second degree curved line (60) lies on a surface (70) having an axis orthogonal to the axis of the shaft (11) and also tilted with respect to the base (90) by an angle (80).
Abstract:
Method and system for compressing a fluid in a gas phase and for pumping the fluid in a dense phase. The system (10) includes a compressor part (12) having an impeller; a compressor part inlet (32) that receives the fluid in the gas phase; a compressor part outlet (36) that provides the fluid in the gas phase; a temperature changing device (40) that changes a phase of the fluid; a pump part (14) having an impeller; a pump part inlet that receives the fluid in the dense phase from the compressor part outlet; a pump part outlet that outputs the fluid in the dense phase from the system; a single bull gear (20) configured to rotate around an axial axis with a predetermined speed; plural pinions (22) contacting the single gear bull and configured to rotate with predetermined speeds, and a pump shaft (23) configured to rotate the at least one impeller of the pump part.
