IMPELLER FOR RADIAL TURBINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318557 titled 'IMPELLER FOR RADIAL TURBINE
The abstract describes an impeller for a radial turbine, consisting of a conical hub and multiple impeller blades with fins at the tip ends.
- The impeller features a conical hub and impeller blades with fins at the tip ends.
- Fins project in a thickness-wise direction of the impeller blade over a prescribed region along a chord length.
- Fins extend from a first point at a first distance from an upstream end to a second point at a second distance from a downstream end of the tip end.
Potential Applications: - Radial turbines in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, and power generation. - High-performance cooling systems in electronics or machinery.
Problems Solved: - Improved efficiency and performance of radial turbines. - Enhanced cooling capabilities in various applications.
Benefits: - Increased energy efficiency. - Better heat dissipation. - Extended lifespan of equipment.
Commercial Applications: - Manufacturers of radial turbines for aerospace, automotive, and power generation sectors can benefit from this innovation. - Companies producing cooling systems for electronics or machinery can enhance their product offerings.
Questions about Impeller for a Radial Turbine: 1. How does the fin design at the tip ends of the impeller blades improve performance?
The fin design helps optimize airflow and increase efficiency by directing the flow in a specific direction.
2. What are the potential drawbacks of using fins on impeller blades in radial turbines?
Fins may increase manufacturing complexity and cost, but the benefits in performance may outweigh these drawbacks.
Original Abstract Submitted
an impeller () for a radial turbine comprises a substantially conical hub (), and a plurality of impeller blades () arranged along an outer periphery of the hub at regular intervals, wherein a tip end (d) of each impeller blade is provided with a fin () projecting in a thickness-wise direction of the impeller blade over a prescribed region (x) extending along a chord length thereof from a first point (p) at a first distance from an upstream end (a) of the tip end to a second point (p) at a second distance from a downstream end (d) of the tip end.
