Abstract
A hydraulic machine including a turbine and a pump oriented for the same direction of rotation and axially spaced apart on a common shaft, and having a casing extending between the external turbine strut ring and the external pump strut ring in which a pump inverter is housed, the casing having an internal separating wall dividing it into two chambers, into one of which the pump inverter discharges.
Claims7
A hydraulic machine having a turbine and a pump orientated for the same direction of rotation and comprising a casing connected to an upper inlet pipe, blades interposed between the casing and the turbine and pump wheels, the turbine and the pump being mounted, spaced one from the other, on a common shaft and their respective inlets being orientated in opposite directions, and including a pump inverter housed at least partially inside the casing which is provided with an internal separating wall dividing it into two chambers, one of which constitutes the volute of the turbine into which the pump inverter discharges.
