More Information
Summary:According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a turbomachine (100) is provided. The turbomachine (100) includes: a rotor (10) extending in an axial direction (A) and comprising a driven side (12) configured to be connected to a driving unit and a second side (14) opposite the driven side; a housing (20) extending around at least a portion of the rotor (10), wherein a main flow path (30) for a process fluid extends between the rotor (10) and the housing (20); a sealing arrangement (40), particularly a dry gas seal, configured for sealing a gap between the rotor (10) and the housing (20) at the driven side (12) of the rotor; and a first magnetic bearing (50) supporting the second side (14) of the rotor. A fluid passage (31) for a portion of the process fluid extends from the main flow path (30) through a bearing gap (52) of the first magnetic bearing (50). According to a further aspect, a method of operating a turbomachine is described.
