with circumferentially mounted blades on both its proximal side and its
distal side. The radial and tangential components of the velocity of the
working fluid are reversed in a chamber, radially beyond the outer edge
of the turbine wheel that is separated from the turbine wheel by a
barrier to inhibit frictional interaction between the working fluid and
the turbine wheel. All parts of the turbine are designed to be
fabricated by casting.
Description
- The present invention relates to turbines and, more particularly, to a double rimmed centrifugal-centripetal turbine, suitable for applications, such as hand-held pneumatic tools, in which space is at a premium, and which can be fabricated by casting.
- In devices with small turbo drives, such as hand-held pneumatic tools, it often is necessary to minimize the maximum rotational (idling) speed. One conventional method of reducing a turbine's idling speed, increasing its diameter, is obviously not applicable to small turbo drives. In addition, small turbines have unique features relative to large turbines. Some of these features, such as large gaps between the inlet nozzle and the turbine wheel and above the turbine blades, relative to the overall dimensions of the turbine, and relatively large tangential length of the turbine blades, lead to a loss of efficiency because of leakage of working fluid. These features also make the use of jet stages and the use of multi-rimmed active velocity stages with more than three blade rims extremely complicated. Considering these limitations, the most efficient designs of small turbines are the radial-axial design, with centripetal entrance of working fluid and axial exit of working fluid; and the exclusively radial design, either centripetal or centrifugal, with energy transferred from the working fluid as the working fluid moves in a single plane.
- Another significant difference between large turbines and small turbines is related to their manufacture. The rotors of small turbines preferably are manufactured in one piece. Most of the known manufacturing processes, such as electroerosion, or milling on a numerically controlled milling machine, are relatively expensive. It is with regard to manufacture that radial turbines have an advantage over axial and radial-axial turbines. The components of axial and radial-axial turbines cannot be manufactured by the relatively simple and inexpensive process of knock-down transfer casting without radical design changes that reduce the efficiency of these turbines. By contrast, radial turbine designs are known, for example, the single-rimmed design taught by Kirby in European Patent Application 0 353 856 A1, whose components can be produced by pressure casting in a knock-down transfer mold. In Kirby's design, the flow of the working fluid is either exclusively centrifugal or exclusively centripetal.
- The most efficient method for reducing the idling speed of a turbine is by using double rimmed stages. This method can lower the idling speed of an axial turbine by as much as 40% to 50%. Double rimmed turbine velocity stages also are widely used in radial turbines. The double rimmed design has two disadvantages for radial turbines, as compared to axial turbines. In a centripetal radial design, the inlet nozzle must be situated radially beyond the rotor, increasing the radial size of the design. In a centrifugal radial design, the main transfer of kinetic energy from the working fluid to the turbine rotor occurs at a smaller radius than in an axial turbine of similar outer dimensions, decreasing the torque available from this design. Thus, although ease of manufacture favors the radial design for small turbines, the incorporation of a double rimmed stage in such a turbine to reduce its idling speed is expected to carry a penalty in reduced efficiency.
- Kotlyar et al., in Russian patent 2,008,435, teach a compact double-rimmed centrifugal-centripetal radial turbine in which the rotor blades are near the periphery of the rotor, optimizing the energy transfer in the centrifugal stage, and the flow of the working fluid is transformed from centrifugal to centripetal by a circumferential shelf that is incorporated in the rotor. The geometry of this shelf, however, makes it impossible to fabricate the rotor by knock-down transfer molding.
- To sum up, it has not been possible heretofore to combine efficiency, small size, ease of manufacture, and low idle speed in the same turbine.
- There is thus a widely recognized need for, and it would be highly advantageous to have, a compact efficient turbine with a relatively low idle speed that is easy to manufacture.
- According to the present invention there is provided a turbine for exchanging kinetic energy with a working fluid flowing therethrough with a velocity having an azimuthal component including: (a) a turbine wheel having a proximal side, a distal side and an outer edge, the proximal side having a first plurality of blades thereon; (b) a housing, the turbine wheel being rotatably mounted within the housing, the housing including a chamber extending at least partially circumferentially around the outer edge of the turbine wheel; and (c) a mechanism for directing the working fluid axially from the proximal side of the turbine wheel past the outer edge of the turbine wheel to the distal side of the turbine wheel via substantially all of the circumferential extent of the chamber while reversing the azimuthal component of the velocity of the working fluid.
- The turbine of the present invention achieves high power by using a turbine wheel having blades on both its proximal side and its distal side and by directing the working fluid centrifugally on the proximal side of the turbine wheel and centripetally on the distal side of the turbine wheel. Both the radial component and the azimuthal component of the velocity of the working fluid are reversed at the outer edge of the turbine wheel. This is and of itself is not new, having been taught, for example, in UK Patent No. 252,706. Unlike the turbine of UK 252,706, however, which uses cored U-passages in the turbine housing adjacent to the outer edge of the turbine wheel to redirect the flow of the working fluid, the present invention allows the working fluid to flow around essentially the entire extent of the outer edge of the turbine wheel, and uses guide vanes in a chamber circumferential to the turbine wheel to reverse the radial and azimuthal components of the velocity of the working fluid. Preferably, to minimize frictional losses as the moving working fluid and the moving turbine wheel pass each other in different directions, a barrier, attached to the guide vanes, is provided to keep the working fluid from contacting the outer edge of the turbine wheel. Preferably, the guide vanes are spaced and shaped, as described below, to allow all parts of the turbine of the present invention to be fabricated by casting.
- The invention is herein described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- FIG. 1 is a central axial section through a turbine according to the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is a proximal transverse section through the turbine of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a peripheral axial section through the turbine of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a distal transverse section through the turbine of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 5A illustrates a portion of a guide vane assembly that cannot be fabricated by casting;
- FIG. 5B illustrates a portion of another guide vane assembly that cannot be fabricated by casting.
-
- The present invention is of a turbine, of high power and low idling speed, which can be used in applications such as the powering of hand-held pneumatic tools and whose parts can be fabricated by casting.
- The principles and operation of a turbine according to the present invention may be better understood with reference to the drawings and the accompanying description.
- Referring now to the drawings, Figure 1 is an axial cross section of a
turbine 10 according to the present invention. Figures 2 and 4 are transverse cross sections ofturbine 10 along cuts A-A and C-C respectively. Figure 3 is an axial cross section ofturbine 10 along cut B-B. - The main parts of
turbine 10 are ahousing 12, aturbine wheel 20, anozzle assembly 40 and a stationary axialguide vane assembly 50.Housing 12 includes aproximal portion 14 and adistal portion 16.Turbine wheel 20 is rotatably mounted withindistal portion 16 ofhousing 12 onbearings 30, and is rigidly attached to ashaft 28.Turbine wheel 20 andshaft 28 together constitute the rotor ofturbine 10.Nozzle assembly 40 andguide vane assembly 50 are described in more detail below. -
Turbine wheel 20 includes an outercylindrical portion 25, the proximal surface of which is afirst rim 23, and the distal surface of which is asecond rim 27. Onfirst rim 23 are mounted a first set ofblades 32. Similarly, onsecond rim 27 are mounted a second set ofblades 36. The radially outermost portion ofhousing 12 defines achamber 18 whose peripheral circumference is defined by an innercircumferential surface 19 ofhousing 12. The inner surface ofchamber 18 also includes, in addition tocircumferential surface 19, a proximal surface 19' and a distal surface 19''. Adjacent to innercircumferential surface 19 and oppositeouter edge 24 ofturbine wheel 20 isguide vane assembly 50, which includes a set ofguide vanes 34 projecting radially inward fromsurface 19 and acircumferential barrier 52, radially inward fromguide vanes 34, to whichguide vanes 34 are rigidly attached and from which guide vanes 34 project radially outward. Note thatbarrier 52 surrounds, but does not contact,outer edge 24 ofturbine wheel 20. - Proximally to
turbine wheel 20 and mounted onproximal portion 14 ofhousing 12 isnozzle assembly 40. As best seen in Figure 2,nozzle assembly 40 includes three azimuthally pointing nozzles. - In operation, a working fluid such as air is introduced under pressure into
proximal portion 14 ofhousing 12. The working fluid flows throughnozzles 42, which, along with surface 19', direct the working fluid azimuthally and centrifugally atfirst blades 32. In passingfirst blades 32, the working fluid transfers some of its kinetic energy toturbine wheel 20, causingturbine wheel 20 andshaft 28 to rotate. The working fluid proceeds intochamber 18, wheresurface 19 and guidevanes 34 redirect the flow of the working fluid:surface 19 reverses the radial component of the velocity of the working fluid, and guidevanes 34 reverse the azimuthal component of the velocity of the working fluid.Barrier 52 intervenes between the working fluid inchamber 18 andouter edge 24 ofturbine wheel 20, inhibiting the loss of energy due to friction that would result if the working fluid were to flow directly pastouter edge 24 ofturbine wheel 20. The working fluid now is directed by surface 19'' to flow centripetally pastsecond blades 36, thereby transferring almost all of the remaining kinetic energy of the working fluid toturbine wheel 20. Finally, the working fluid leavesturbine 10 viaexit ports 44 indistal portion 16 ofhousing 12. - One important feature of
turbine 10 is that bothfirst blades 32 andsecond blades 36 are mounted onrims cylindrical portion 25 ofturbine wheel 20, adjacent toouter edge 24 ofturbine wheel 20. Mountingblades turbine wheel 20 minimizes the idling speed ofturbine 10. - It will be appreciated that
proximal portion 14 ofhousing 12,distal portion 16 ofhousing 12,turbine wheel 20 andnozzle assembly 40 all can be fabricated by knock-down transfer casting.Guide vane assembly 50 also can be fabricated by knock-down transfer casting, provided that any line, such asline 60 in Figure 3, that is drawn in the axial direction throughguide vane assembly 50, intersects at most oneguide vane 34, and intersects thatguide vane 34 only once. This can be better understood with reference to the counterexamples in figures 5A and 5B, of guide vane assemblies that cannot be fabricated by casting. Figure 5A shows a portion of a guide vane assembly 50' whose guide vanes 34' overlap azimuthally, so that someaxial lines 62 intersect two guide vanes 34'. Figure 5B shows a portion of a guide vane assembly 50'' whose guide vanes 34'' are sufficiently curved to be re-entrant in the axial direction, so that sameaxial lines 64 intersect the same guide vane 34'' twice. This ease of fabrication ofguide vane assembly 50 is purchased at the expense of a certain loss of efficiency in the redirection of the working fluid inchamber 18; but because the purpose ofguide vane assembly 50 is to redirect the flow of the working fluid, not to extract energy from the working fluid, this loss of efficiency is minimal compared to the efficiency that is lost in adapting the rotors of axial and radial-axial designs to manufacture by knock-down transfer casting. - While the invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, it will be appreciated that many variations, modifications and other applications of the invention may be made.
