CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC F04D25/08 

FIELD: non-positive-displacement pumps.

SUBSTANCE: centrifugal compressing device comprises engine (50) that set rotor (52) in rotation and at least one compressor that has housing of the stator and a set of wheels provided with blades (56) mounted on the driven shaft that is set in rotation inside the housing of the stator. The motor is mounted in pressure-tight crank case (86). The compressing device additionally has a set of active guiding axial and radial bearings (60), (62), (64), (66), and (67) of the rotor and driven shaft and means for cooling engine and guiding bearings by means of sucking gas supplied by the compressor at the outlet of the first compression stage. The cooling means have a set of inner pipelines (80-1), (80-2), (80-3), (80-4), (80-5) and (80-6) that supply cooling gas to the engine and bearings. The flow rate of the cooling gas supplied to the engine differs from that of the cooling gas supplied to the bearings and flow together upstream of the first compression stage .

EFFECT: enhanced reliability.
