Very high speed radial inflow hydraulic turbine

摘要: A very high speed radial inflow hydraulic turbine drive. Inflow nozzles drilled in a nozzle body intersect circular exit surface, the centerline of each forming an angle between 8 and 25 degrees with tangent circle at point intersection. The wheel drive is small. Its diameter measured tips blades less than 2 inches. In preferred embodiment, built tested by Applicant, only 0.80 inch diameter. This embodiment was fluid pressure drop 700 psi flow 19.5 GPM. 0.8 produced 5.9 HP 62,000 RPM driving compressor portion TO4B-V turbocharger. compressed air 11.3 pounds per minute (161.4 inlet CFM) ratio 1.41. During test acceleration supercharger from idle to about 1/2 second. utilizes plastic-metal which plastic other solidly anchored within metal containing wheel. embodiments drives superchargers for supercharging internal combustion engines such as bus truck turbodiesel engines. provided present invention produce immediate response engine demand increased will dramatically reduce smoke emission during low these well greatly improve efficiency.
