Abstract
A power transmission for a turbine or a compressor has a housing, a first shaft rotatably mounted so as to be rotatable in one direction in the housing, a barrel rotatably mounted so as to be rotatable in a direction opposite to that of the first shaft within the housing, a first plurality of blades affixed to the first shaft and extending radially outwardly therefrom, and a second plurality of blades affixed to the barrel and extending inwardly therefrom. Each blade of the second plurality of blades is interposed between adjacent blades of the first plurality of blades. A second shaft is mounted exterior of the housing so as to drive the barrel in rotation.
Claims18
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing having a fluid inlet or a fluid outlet passage;
- a first shaft rotatably mounted so as to be rotatable within said housing;
- a barrel rotatably mounted so as to be rotatable in an in a direction opposite to that of said first shaft within said housing;
- a first plurality of blades affixed to said first shaft extending radially outwardly therefrom, said first plurality of blades being in spaced relation to each other;
- a second plurality of blades affixed to said barrel and extending inwardly therefrom, each blade of said second plurality of blades being interposed between adjacent blades of said first plurality of blades;
- a first bearing set positioned on an exterior of said housing, said barrel having an end that is mounted on said first bearing set;
- and
- a second bearing set mounted on an inner wall of said housing in a location beyond the passage, said barrel having an opposite end mounted to said second bearing set.
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing having a fluid inlet passage or a fluid outlet passage;
- a first shaft rotatably mounted so as to be rotatable in one direction within said housing;
- a barrel rotatably mounted so as to the rotatable in a direction opposite to that of said first shaft within said housing;
- a first plurality of blades affixed to said first shaft extending radially outwardly therefrom, said first plurality of blades being in spaced relation to each other;
- a second plurality of blades affixed to said barrel and extending inwardly therefrom, each blade of said second plurality of blades being interposed between adjacent blades of said first plurality of blades;
- a first bearing set positioned on or at an exterior area of said housing, said barrel having an end that is mounted on said first bearing set;
- and
- a second bearing set mounted on an inner wall of said housing in a location beyond the fluid inlet passage or the fluid outlet passage, said barrel having an opposite end mounted to said second bearing set.
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a first shaft rotatably mounted so as to be rotatable in one direction within said housing;
- a barrel rotatably mounted so as to be rotatable in a direction opposite to that of said first shaft within said housing;
- a first plurality of blades affixed to said first shaft and extending radially outwardly therefrom, said first plurality of blades being in spaced relation to each other;
