摘要:
A mechanical drive train for testing a full scale compressor rig is disclosed. The drive train can include an electric motor, a gear box, and a gas turbine. The compressor rig is coupled to the drive train between the gear box and gas turbine. The drive train can further include a torque converter for transferring torque from the electric motor to the compressor rig. The drive train is configured to test a full scale compressor rig over the entire speed and load operating range, allowing for full compressor mapping from choke to stall at full load, part load (power turn down) and partial speed conditions. The drive train can also be used to test a compressor rig or gas turbine over the full range of operability for the compressor rig or gas turbine without having to connect the gas turbine to the power grid at the power generation site.
摘要:
Base hooks of a vane includes an approximate two times thicker radial geometry, with dimensioning and tolerancing that results in a line-line to loose fit on the forward OD hook surface and the aft ID hook surface. Tolerances thus stack up on the opposite, non-critical surfaces of the hooks (the forward ID hook surface and the aft OD hook surface). The base of the vane is curved to match that of the casing. An interface between the vane base and the casing groove includes a metal alloy liner. Also, a wear coating is provided on the vane attachment hooks. The liner protects the casing groove from wear damage, while the hook coating and the liner provide a wear coupling between the vane base and the casing that provides a barrier between the vane bases and the casing to decrease the wear rate.
