[0002] A turboexpander is a device that uses a certain pressure of gas to expand adiabatically inside the machine to do work externally and consume the internal energy of the gas itself to achieve the purpose of refrigeration. It is a key component necessary for air separation equipment, natural gas liquefaction separation equipment, and low-temperature crushing equipment to obtain cold capacity. It is the core to ensure the stable operation of the entire set of equipment. Among them, the turboexpander nozzle is a key component of the turboexpander. Its main function is to form an efficient flow channel for accelerating the working fluid and guide the working fluid into the blade stationary component of the turbine moving blade. In radial turbines, the turboexpander nozzle can also be called a guide vane;

[0003] The bottom of the turbine expander nozzle in the prior art is often in contact with the top of the positioning plate, causing the nozzle to rub against the top of the positioning plate when being adjusted, which accelerates the wear of the nozzle. In addition, during the use of the expander, water vapor often condenses on the nozzle, and in a low temperature environment, ice will condense on the surface of the nozzle, thereby affecting the normal use of the nozzle. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new radial turbine expander adjustable nozzle mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
