ACTIVE TURBINE NOZZLE ASSEMBLY Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F01D9/02 F01D1/04 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: proposed nozzle assembly comprises nozzle including acceleration section and outlet section wherein nozzle outlet section on skew edge plane has mean flexure radius equal to mean radius of turbine wheel cascade. Nozzle acceleration section is made up of axially symmetric nozzle and curved widening channel. Channel width is constant and equals the diameter of axially symmetric nozzle outlet section. Channel height smoothly increases from axially symmetric nozzle outlet section to maximum value at outlet section of nozzle assembly. Axially symmetric nozzle axis is directed along tangent to a circle of the mean curvature radius of said widening channel. Axially symmetric nozzle section does not exceed the height of turbine cascade vane height. Surface of widening channel is formed by two cylindrical coaxial surfaces with mean radii of curvature equal to mean radius of nozzle outlet section on skew edge plane, and two sesquilinear surfaces conjugated therewith, diameter of said surfaces being equal to that of axially symmetric nozzle outlet section.

EFFECT: simplified design and production procedure.
