Abstract

The invention provides a toroidal intersecting vane machine incorporating intersecting rotors to form primary and secondary chambers whose porting configurations minimize friction and maximize efficiency. Specifically, it is an object of the invention to provide a toroidal intersecting vane machine that greatly reduces the frictional losses through intersecting surfaces without the need for external gearing by modifying the width of one or both tracks at the point of intermeshing. The inventions described herein relate to these improvements.

Vertically oriented seal system for gas turbine vanes

Patent Greene, John Ellington; Sarawate, Neelesh Nandkumar

A seal system for a gas turbine vane includes a first seal layer and an optional second seal layer. Each first seal layer includes multiple seal segments, each of which includes a first leg, a second leg, and an intermediate portion between the first leg and the second leg. Each adjacent pair of seal segments of the first seal is separated by a gap. The seal segments define a substantially complete perimeter of a seal slot in which the first seal is installed. The second seal, which is also segmented, may or may not define the substantially complete perimeter ofmore » « less

Turbocharger with variable nozzle having vane sealing surfaces

Patent Arnold, Philippe [Hennecourt, FR]; Petitjean, Dominique [Julienrupt, FR]; Ruquart, Anthony [Thaon les Vosges, FR]; ...

A variable nozzle for a turbocharger includes a plurality of vanes rotatably mounted on a nozzle ring and disposed in a nozzle flow path defined between the nozzle ring and an opposite nozzle wall. Either or both of the faces of the nozzle ring and nozzle wall include(s) at least one step that defines sealing surfaces positioned to be substantially abutted by airfoil surfaces of the vanes in the closed position of the vanes and to be spaced from the airfoil surfaces in positions other than the closed position. This substantial abutment between the airfoil surfaces and the sealing surfacesmore » « less

Film riding seals for rotary machines

Patent Bidkar, Rahul Anil; Sarawate, Neelesh Nandkumar; Wolfe, Christopher Edward; ...

A seal assembly for a rotary machine is provided. The seal assembly includes multiple sealing device segments disposed circumferentially intermediate to a stationary housing and a rotor. Each of the segments includes a shoe plate with a forward-shoe section and an aft-shoe section having one or more labyrinth teeth therebetween facing the rotor. The sealing device includes a stator interface element having a groove or slot for allowing disposal of a spline seal for preventing segment leakages. The sealing device segment also includes multiple bellow springs or flexures connected to the shoe plate and to the stator interface element. Further,more » « less

Aerodynamic seals for rotary machine

Patent Bidkar, Rahul Anil; Cirri, Massimiliano; Thatte, Azam Mihir; ...

An aerodynamic seal assembly for a rotary machine includes multiple sealing device segments disposed circumferentially intermediate to a stationary housing and a rotor. Each of the segments includes a shoe plate with a forward-shoe section and an aft-shoe section having multiple labyrinth teeth therebetween facing the rotor. The sealing device segment also includes multiple flexures connected to the shoe plate and to a top interface element, wherein the multiple flexures are configured to allow the high pressure fluid to occupy a forward cavity and the low pressure fluid to occupy an aft cavity. Further, the sealing device segments include amore » « less

Controlled-force end seal arrangement for an air press of a papermaking machine

Patent Beck, David A.

An air press for pressing a fiber web includes a plurality of rolls and a pair of end seal arrangements. Of the plurality of rolls, each pair of adjacent rolls forms a nip therebetween. Further, each roll has a pair of roll ends, the plurality of rolls together forming two sets of roll ends. Each end seal arrangement coacts with one set of roll ends, the plurality of rolls and the pair of end seal arrangements together defining an air press chamber having an air chamber pressure. Each end seal arrangement is composed of at least one roll seal, includingmore » « less
