Abstract
A rotating shaft of a rotary electric machine is supported by a rotary electric machine housing. For the rotary electric machine housing, compressed air flow passages are formed. In a gas turbine engine, an air bleed port is formed in a shroud case, and compressed air that is compressed by a compressor wheel flows into the air bleed port. The compressed air that has passed through the air bleed port flows through air bleed passages formed in an engine housing and the compressed air flow passages. Then, the compressed air flows into a rotary electric machine housing.
Claims5
A combined power system comprising:
- a rotary electric machine system including a rotary electric machine, and a rotary electric machine housing in which a rotating shaft of the rotary electric machine is rotatably supported;
- and
- a gas turbine engine including an output shaft configured to support a turbine wheel and a compressor wheel and rotate integrally with the rotating shaft, and an engine housing in which the turbine wheel and the compressor wheel are accommodated,
- wherein an air bleed port is formed in a shroud case that surrounds the compressor wheel, and compressed air that is compressed by the compressor wheel flows into the air bleed port,
- an air bleed passage is formed in the engine housing, and the compressed air that has passed through the air bleed port flows through the air bleed passage, and
- a compressed air flow passage is formed for the rotary electric machine housing, and compressed air that is supplied from the air bleed passage flows through the compressed air flow passage, and
- wherein the engine housing includes a plurality of leg members on one end thereof in an axial direction, the plurality of leg members are connected to one end of the rotary electric machine housing in an axial direction, an air intake space is formed between the plurality of leg members, and the plurality of leg members each include the air bleed passage.
