Claims
- 1. A turbo-machine for transporting media loaded with solid particles, said turbo-machine comprising:
- a housing;
- a shaft being rotatably mounted within said housing;
- at least one impeller disposed inside said housing and fixedly connected to said shaft;
- a plurality of impeller side spaces disposed between the impeller and the housing, wherein wall surfaces bound the impeller side spaces, said wall surfaces having means for deflecting a flow of a media near the wall surface that is directed radially inwardly toward said shaft and deflecting the flow away from said shaft in a radially outward direction and at least partly into regions where the transport media has a greater rotational motion.
- 2. The turbo-machine of claim 1, wherein a portion of the wall surface is stationary, and the conducting means includes a ring protruding in a axial direction and disposed on the stationary wall surface of the housing wall.
- 3. The turbo-machine of claim 2, wherein a portion of the wall surface is rotatable, and the conducting means includes a plurality of one of blades and grooves attached to the rotatable wall surface opposite an end region of the ring.
- 4. The turbo-machine of claim 3, wherein the ring interacts with a second ring having at least one of blades and grooves disposed on the rotatable wall surface.
- 5. The turbo-machine of claim 4, wherein the stationary ring has a protruding disk element extending in a radial direction.
- 6. The turbo-machine of claim 5, wherein a plurality of one of blades and grooves are disposed on the rotatable wall surface opposite a region of the disk element.
- 7. The turbo-machine of claim 2, wherein the ring is comprised of a plurality of arc segments, such that a center point of each arc segment is disposed outside a rotation axis of the impeller.
- 8. The turbo-machine of claim 3, wherein the one of grooves and blades attached to the rotatable wall surface are disposed at an inclined angle relative to a rotation axis.
- 9. The turbo-machine of claim 1, wherein an annular recess is incorporated into the stationary wall surface, such that a transition between the recess and the stationary wall has a flow-off edge.
- 10. The turbo-machine of claim 9, wherein at least one of a plurality of blades and grooves are attached to the rotatable wall surface opposite to a flow-off edge.
- 11. The turbo-machine of claim 1, wherein at least one of a plurality of grooves and blades are attached to the stationary wall surface and extend radially outward in a direction of rotation of an opposite rotatable wall surface.
