==CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240018966 titled 'CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a centrifugal compressor that consists of a rotary shaft, an electric motor, an impeller, a thrust bearing, and a housing with a passage. The passage includes a motor cooling passage and a bearing cooling passage. The housing has an inner housing and an outer housing, which define the motor cooling passage. The passage also includes a branching passage that divides the cooling fluid and directs it into the motor cooling passage and the bearing cooling passage. There is also a joining passage that allows the cooling fluid from the bearing cooling passage to join the cooling fluid from the motor cooling passage. The motor cooling passage includes a guide wall that directs the flow of cooling fluid.

* The centrifugal compressor includes a rotary shaft, electric motor, impeller, thrust bearing, and housing.
* The housing has an inner and outer housing, which define the motor cooling passage.
* The passage includes a branching passage that divides the cooling fluid into the motor cooling passage and the bearing cooling passage.
* There is a joining passage that allows the cooling fluid from the bearing cooling passage to join the cooling fluid from the motor cooling passage.
* The motor cooling passage includes a guide wall that directs the flow of cooling fluid.

Potential Applications:
* This centrifugal compressor design can be used in various industries that require the compression of gases or fluids, such as HVAC systems, refrigeration systems, and industrial processes.
* It can be applied in automotive applications for turbocharging or supercharging engines.

Problems Solved:
* The centrifugal compressor design solves the problem of efficiently cooling the electric motor and the thrust bearing, which are critical components in the compressor.
* It ensures that the cooling fluid is properly distributed between the motor and bearing cooling passages, preventing overheating and potential damage.

Benefits:
* The design improves the overall efficiency and performance of the centrifugal compressor by effectively cooling the motor and bearing.
* It increases the lifespan of the electric motor and thrust bearing by maintaining optimal operating temperatures.
* The design allows for compact and space-saving compressor installations due to the integration of the motor cooling passage and the bearing cooling passage.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a centrifugal compressor includes a rotary shaft, an electric motor, an impeller, a thrust bearing, and a housing having a passage that includes a motor cooling passage and a bearing cooling passage. the housing includes an inner housing and an outer housing. the motor cooling passage is defined by the inner housing and the outer housing. the passage includes a branching passage through which cooling fluid is divided and flows into the motor cooling passage and the bearing cooling passage and a joining passage through which the cooling fluid flowing through the bearing cooling passage joins the cooling fluid flowing through the motor cooling passage. the motor cooling passage includes a guide wall that guides the cooling fluid flowing through the motor cooling passage.
