Latest Patents

Khorrami’s listed patents address the containment and protection of rotating components.

- **Shroud arrestor for bladed powerplant rotor.** This invention describes an assembly with a radial-flow rotor, a surrounding rotor shroud, and a shroud arrestor. The arrestor body is cantilevered from its mount and surrounds the shroud, with its distal end positioned nearby across an air gap. The arrangement is designed to provide a protective structure around the rotor shroud.

- **Impeller containment system.** This compressor impeller containment system uses a catcher ring around the impeller hub, axially spaced from the impeller blades. The ring combines a hollow body portion near its inner surface with a solid body portion extending outward to its outer surface.
