Abstract:
A vane carrier is provided for a compressor or a turbine section of an axial turbo machine, especially one of a gas turbine, steam turbine, compressor, expander, comprises least a first and second functional means. The first functional means is a cylinder made of a material with a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) below 1.3×10−5 [1/K]. The cylinder is provided for carrying a plurality of vanes on its inner side. The second functional means is a support structure made of a material different to and less expensive than the material of said first functional means. The support structure is provided for defining an axial and lateral position of the first functional means within an outer casing of the axial turbo machine.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a system to compensate for mechanical forces on a rotating rotor of an electric machine, to a method for compensating mechanical forces on a rotating rotor of an electric machine, and to a use of a corresponding system. Disclosed is a system for compensating torsions at a rotating rotor. The system includes at least one measuring device for measuring specific properties of the rotor, an analyzer unit for analyzing the measurement data of the measuring device, a compensation means for compensating the torsions at the rotor, the compensation means comprise a power supply unit generating a signal adapted in amplitude and frequency to the measured properties of the rotor, and to apply the generated signal to the rotor, and the power supply unit is a frequency converter.
