More Information
Summary:A containment construction for a radial turbine having a generally radially disposed inlet and an axially disposed outlet with a stationary back-plate disposed opposite the outlet that has a conically diverging recess therein that receives a complementary rotating diverging conical shoulder on the turbine wheel hub so that upon overspeed bursting of the turbine wheel, the conical recess assists in containing the turbine wheel, there also being provided stationary stator blades completely surrounding the turbine wheel which assist in containing the turbine wheel upon exceeding the burst speed.
