Abstract:
A blading member for fluid flow machines, for example, gas turbine engines. The blading member includes a platform member, at least one airfoil member, and at least one interlock member.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a gas liquid separator, for separating liquid droplets from a gas flowing generally in a main gas flow direction through the gas liquid separator. The gas liquid separator comprises a plurality of plates, mutually parallel and spaced apart to form a flow channel there between. Each plate having a plurality of corrugations wherein at least one of the corrugations has an extrados wing profile shaped camber.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus or system is provided for cleaning a flue gas and/or cooling a flue gas with a dispersed finely divided absorption liquid. As such, the absorption liquid is dispersed in a wet scrubber through which flue gas flows for absorption liquid and flue gas intermingling and contact to produce a cleaned flue gas. The absorption liquid supplied to the wet scrubber is dispersed from upwardly spraying anti-clogging nozzles and downwardly spraying nozzles arranged to maximize absorption liquid and flue gas contact with minimal spray interference between nozzles.
Abstract:
A rotating machine cooled by a cooling medium directed through the rotating machine in a main flow and a secondary flow includes a rotor. A stator includes a swirl passage configured to guide the secondary flow so as to be discharged from a pre-swirl nozzle. At least one control device includes a shape-memory alloy disposed in an area of the pre-swirl nozzle and is configured to control the secondary flow based on a temperature in an automated manner.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a seal between static components of a turbine. The seal includes at least one middle piece, which has at its opposite ends end pieces. The end pieces are arranged in a respective groove of the static components and adjoining the inside surfaces of the grooves. The middle piece has at least two parts. The middle piece parts are rotatably coupled to one another via a pivot. The pivot is an annular ring in cross section formed by at least two cylinder elements being coaxially interfitted and slidable relative to each other. The inner surface of the pivot is wrapped with metallic cloth material. Advantages of the invention are higher flexibility due to the pivoting to accommodate larger relative movements of the turbine components and reduced wear with aging while maintaining good sealing performance.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a turbine blade comprising a surface, a recess within the surface, and a damping inlay within the recess. The damping inlay comprises a chamber with a damping material, for example particles. The damping inlay should substantially maintain the aerodynamic profile of the blade to enable normal operation. A further embodiment of the invention describes the method of manufacture of a turbine blade with a damping inlay. The method comprises the steps of manufacturing a turbine blade having a surface and a recess in the surface, and providing one or more damping inlays within the recess such that the damping inlay substantially maintains the aerodynamic profile of the blade, the damping inlay comprising a chamber and a damping material disposed within the chamber.
Abstract:
A combustor arrangement for a gas turbine includes a first burner, a first combustion chamber, a mixer for admixing a dilution gas to the gases leaving the first combustion chamber during operation, a second burner, and a second combustion chamber arranged sequentially in a fluid flow connection. These elements of the combustor arrangement are arranged in a row to form a flow path extending between the first combustion chamber and the second burner. The combustor arrangement includes acentral lance body arranged inside the flow path and extending from the first burner through the first combustion chamber into the mixer and into the second burner, wherein the lance body includes a fuel duct for providing fuel for the first burner and/or for the second burner.
Abstract:
The present invention concerning of a device for mounting or dismantling, replacement and maintenance of a can-combustor of a gas turbine engine including an assembly tool or assembly tool with additional frame having at least one lifting beam, at least one linear driver, wheels, at least one eccentric rolling hook for fixation of the gas turbine housing, optionally spacers for building the interface to the can-combustor, adapters, lifting points for the main crane. The eccentric rolling hook is connected to the gas turbine housing by giving in axial or quasi-axial direction a force for mounting or dismantling the can-combustor from the gas turbine housing.
Abstract:
An axial flow turbine is described having a casing defining a flow path for a working fluid therein, a rotor co-axial to the casing, a plurality of stages, each including a stationary row of vanes circumferentially mounted on the casing a rotating row blades, circumferentially mounted on the rotor, with within a stage n vanes have an extension such that at least a part of the trailing edge of each of the n vanes reaches into the annular space defined by the trailing edges of the remaining N-n vanes and the leading edges of rotating blades of the same stage.
Abstract:
A steam turbine gland seal arrangement prevents leakage of steam from around a turbine rotor. The gland seal arrangement includes a chamber formed in a gland carrier attached to a casing component and a heat shield that partitions the chamber from the component.
