Main description and application
Main description
- High-speed asynchronous electric motor controlled by frequency converter (VSD)
- Impeller fitted directly on electric motor shaft
- Aerodynamic bearings:
- radial with tilting pads
- minimal frictional loss
- without an oil system (100% oil free solution)
Application
- Machine offers relatively compact and low operating cost base for development of next generation turbomachinery. We are looking for a partner and we offer cooperation in R&D based on this technology, mainly in the following areas:
- Design and validation of radial impellers and flow path, measurement and control of centrifugal compressors and blowers
- Applications of aerodynamic or aerostatics bearings
- Other related R&D challenges
