Title: Hans P. Borufka and His Rotor Shroud Band Invention.
Introduction
Hans P. Borufka is an inventor associated with Munich, Germany, and MTU Motoren- und Turbinen-Union München GmbH. His listed patent concerns a shroud band for a rotor wheel with integral rotor blades.
Latest Patents
Borufka is credited with 1 patent: “Shroud Band for a Rotor Wheel Having Integral Rotor Blades.” The invention describes a shroud band with at least one Z-shaped separation gap at its periphery. Two narrow, parallel damping gaps are spaced axially and inclined at an angle of 70 to 90 degrees relative to the axial direction. An inclined, wider free-gap section connects them. During rotation, the damping gaps close, bringing adjoining band surfaces into frictional engagement, while the free-gap section remains open.
Career Highlights
The available information associates Borufka’s patent work with MTU Motoren- und Turbinen-Union München GmbH. The invention addresses the design of rotor shroud bands and the use of frictional engagement to provide damping during operation.
Collaborations
The listed coworkers associated with Borufka include Helmut Gross and Gerald Himmler.
Conclusion
Hans P. Borufka’s recorded invention focuses on a Z-shaped separation gap designed to support damping in a rotor wheel shroud band.
