TURBINE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; turbines. SUBSTANCE: proposed turbine contains Segner's wheel made in form of tube with closed end coaxially connected with shaft and installed for rotation. At least one pair of branch pipes is radially mounted on tube from opposite sides. Ends of branch pipes are opened and bent in opposite direction from their axis. Axes of bent open ends of branch pipes are square to plane passing through axes of pair of branch pipes and axis of tube. Holes are made in wall of tube to suit branch pipes. Turbine is provided also with shell coaxially coupled with shaft installed for rotation and enclosing Segner's wheel, and housing with holes enclosing Segner's wheel and shell for fitting Segner's wheel and shafts of Segner's wheel and shell and provided with union to let out working medium. Shell is made in form of cylindrical drum. Cylindrical belt of drum adjoins bent off ends of branch pipes of Segner's wheel with clearance. At least one pair of branch pipes with open ends is secured on cylindrical belt of drum radially from opposite sides. Ends of said branch pipes are bent off to different sides relative to their axis opposite to sides of branch pipes of Segner's wheel. Axes of bent off open ends of branch pipes of drum are square to plane passing through axes of pair of branch pipes of drum and axis of tube. Holes are made in belt wall to suit branch pipe. Turbine is furnished with second housing with shafts of Segner's wheel and drum with fitted-on gears and power takeoff shaft projecting from second housing, installed for rotation and carrying gears mechanically coupled with gears of shafts of Segner's wheel and drum providing opposite rotation of shafts of Segner's wheel and drum. EFFECT: increased mechanical energy in turbine owing to useful gauge kinetic energy of working medium flow with subsequent transmission of energy to one consumer at preset angular velocity. 2 dwg
