Title: Bo Gao and the High-Temperature Turbomachine

Introduction

Bo Gao is an inventor based in Cypress, California, and is associated with Calnetix Technologies, LLC. His patent work includes a turbomachine designed to operate with fluids at temperatures of 250°C or higher.

Latest Patents

Gao is named on one patent, High Temperature Turbomachine. The invention combines an electric machine, with a rotor and stator housed separately from a fluid end, which drives or expands a high-temperature fluid. The fluid end contains an impeller or turbine coupled to the rotor so that both rotate at the same speed. Its housing is hermetically sealed to the electric-machine housing and receives part of the fluid.

The design also incorporates measures to limit heat transfer from the fluid to the electric-machine components. An active magnetic bearing system supports the rotor, with an axial bearing actuator positioned near the rotor end opposite the impeller or turbine. The patent addresses the engineering challenge of operating turbomachinery with very hot fluids while protecting sensitive electrical and mechanical components. Gao’s listed patent count is 1 patent.
