METHOD OF FLOWING MEDIUM ENERGY UTILISATION AND DEVICE FOR METHOD IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F03B13/10 F03B17/06 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: method of flowing medium energy utilisation involves guiding a fluid medium flow to diffuser 11 where the flow is accelerated and then fed to duct 3 where it is additionally accelerated due to gradual duct 3 cross-section reduction, further conversion of kinetic flow energy into mechanical power by guiding the flow to at least one work wheel 5 with blades 6, installed in the duct 3, and further deceleration of the flow. Blades 6 of the work wheel 5 are tapered in width from inlet towards the outlet edge, side surface of the blades is convex, and outlet edge is shifted against inlet edge.

EFFECT: increased flowing medium energy utilisation rate.
