More Information
Summary:A radial turbine with a novel inlet and a outlet is combined with a centrifugal compressor, also having novel inlet and outlet, so as to obtain a turbocompressor unit wherein the respective inlets and/or exhausts of which are improved. The combination of above improves the overall efficiency of the turbocompressor unit. In addition, the combination limits the axial bulk of such a unit at the cost of a limited increase both in the cross section and the weight and structural complexity of the turbocompressor unit. Such a turbomachine: a radial turbine with an optional centrifugal compressor can be produced using two-microelectronic dimensional machining techniques of the microelectronic type.
