A turbo-fluid device in the form of a package, in which a heat exchanger used as a cooler for a turbo-compressor, desiccator, or turbo-refrigerator; or a heater for a turbo-generator is formed in an annular form, while there are housed in the interior of the annular heat exchanger an electric motor or generator, transmission, compressor and/or turbine, oil feed device and other accessories, thereby decreasing sound level and reducing the size and the weight of the device.

Turbo-fluid device

According to the present invention, fluid rotary machines including a turbo-compressor, turbo-desiccator, turbo-refrigerator, turbo-generator and the like are of such an arrangement that supporting shafts corresponding to impellers in number and a gear train changing R.P.M. of said supporting shafts to the optimum R.P.M. of the impellers mounted on said supporting shafts are provided, so that the respective impellers can operate at the optimum R.P.M. individually.
