FLOW MACHINE, AND FLOW GUIDING ELEMENT FOR A FLOW MACHINE

摘要

A flow machine includes a rotor rotatably arranged about an axis of rotation in a rotor space of a housing. For energy exchange between a flow energy of a flowing fluid and a mechanical rotational energy, the fluid can be supplied to the housing of the flow machine in so as to bring the fluid into flowing contact with the rotor for the energy exchange and can be led out of the housing of the flow machine. A flow guiding element running about the axis of rotation in a peripheral direction of the rotor is disposed in the rotor space between an inner wall of the rotor space and the rotor in such a way that the rotor is surrounded by the flow guiding element over a predeterminable axial width.

1. A flow machine, comprising:
a housing defining a rotor space; a rotor arranged about an axis of rotation in the rotor space of a housing, the housing being configured so as to enable a flowing fluid, for energy exchange between a flow energy of the flowing fluid and a mechanical rotational energy, to be supplied to the housing so as to bring the fluid into flowing contact with the rotor for the energy exchange and to be led out of the housing; and a flow guiding element extending about the axis of rotation in a peripheral direction of the rotor, and being disposed in the rotor space between an inner wall of the rotor space and the rotor such that the rotor is surrounded by the flow guiding element over a predetermined axial width.
