Eric Blumber

Title: Eric Blumber and High-Temperature Turbomachine Innovation.

Introduction

Eric Blumber is an inventor associated with Los Angeles, California. His patent work includes a turbomachine designed to operate with fluids at temperatures of 250°C or higher.

Latest Patents

Blumber is credited with 1 patent, titled “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 incorporates measures to reduce 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.

Career Highlights

Blumber is associated with Calnetix Technologies, LLC. His patent reflects work on turbomachinery that addresses the engineering challenge of operating an electric machine alongside a high-temperature fluid.
