摘要: A centrifugal compressor impeller (60; 160) has a hub (62; 162) having a gaspath surface (64; 164) extending from a leading end to a trailing end. A plurality of blades (70A, 70B; 170) extend from the hub gaspath surface and each have: a leading edge (72A, 72B; 172); a trailing edge (74A, 74B; 174); a first face (80A, 80B; 180); a second face (82A, 82B; 182); and a tip (78A, 78B; 178). A plurality of flow splitter segments (120, 122; 320, 322) extend between associated twos of the blades and each spaced from both the hub gaspath surface and the tips of the associated two blades.

摘要: A heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration system includes a heat transfer fluid circulation loop configured to circulate a refrigerant therethrough, a purge gas outlet in operable communication with the heat transfer fluid circulation loop and at least one gas permeable membrane having a first side in operable communication with the purge gas outlet and a second side. The membrane includes a plurality of pores of a size to allow passage of contaminants through the membrane, while restricting passage of the refrigerant through the membrane, and further restricting passage of a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor through the membrane. A purge unit is in operable communication with the second side of the permeable membrane configured to receive a purge gas from the permeable membrane.

摘要: A vapor compression system comprising a centrifugal compressor (22) having: an inlet (24); an outlet (26); a first impeller stage (28); a second impeller stage (30); and a motor (34) coupled to the first impeller stage and second impeller stage. A first heat exchanger (38) is downstream of the outlet along a refrigerant flowpath. An expansion device (56) and a second heat exchanger (64) are upstream of the inlet along the refrigerant flowpath. A bypass flowpath (120; 320) is positioned to deliver refrigerant from the compressor bypassing the first heat exchanger. A valve (128) is positioned to control flow through the bypass flowpath, wherein: the bypass flowpath extends from a first location (140) intermediate the inlet and outlet to a second location (142; 342) downstream of the first heat exchanger along the refrigerant flowpath.

摘要: A compressor (22) has a housing assembly (40) with a suction port (24), a discharge port (26), and a motor compartment (60). An electric motor (42) has a stator (62) within the motor compartment and a rotor (64) within the stator. The rotor is mounted for rotation about a rotor axis (500). One or more working impellers (44) are coupled to the rotor to be driven by the rotor in at least a first condition so as to draw fluid in through the suction port and discharge the fluid from the discharge port. An inlet guide vane (IGV) array (174) is between the suction port (24) and the one or more impellers (44). One or more bearing systems (66, 68) support the rotor (64) and/or the one or more impellers (44). One or more main drain passages (120, 234 206; 120, 232, 202, 206) are coupled to the bearings to pass fluid along a drain flowpath from the bearings to a location (172) upstream of the impeller and downstream of the IGV array.
