Abstract: A mould for forming a wind turbine blade is formed in two halves, each half 1a comprising a sandwich structure of a perforated outer layer, an inner aluminium honeycomb structure and an inner impermeable heat-conducting layer. An article in the form of a mat of glass fibre impregnated with epoxy resin is placed in the mould. A supply chamber 6 supplies heated pressurised air to the mould which passes into the honeycomb core of the mould through the perforated outer layer, and back through the outer layer into two exhaust chambers 7. A row of supply conduits 13 and exhaust conduits 16 connect the exhaust chambers 7 to the supply chamber 6. The air in each conduit 13, 16 is heated by a respective heat exchanger 18 supplied with heated water 9. The heated air cures the epoxy resin, and the mould is then cooled by supplying cold water to the heat exchangers 18, which, in turn cools the air supplied to the mould. The water used to cool the mould is then re-used for the subsequent heating of another article placed in the mould, in order to save energy. Alternatively, the article in the mould may be cooled using a separate supply of air which is not cooled in the heat exchangers 18.

Abstract: A fixing device for fixating a segment of a wind turbine blade to a mold in which the blade segment is manufactured, wherein the blade segment has a fixating portion. The fixing device comprises: a first portion for removably fixating the blade segment at its fixating portion to the mold; and a second portion for fixating the fixing device to the mold.

Abstract: A bracket is described for clamping a mould to a supporting structure. The bracket includes a first part and a second part for attaching to the mould and to the supporting structure, respectively, or vice versa. The first and second parts are connected together and configured to provide constrained relative movement along a first axis to accommodate thermal expansion of the mould relative to the supporting structure in a first direction parallel to the first axis. The first and second parts of the bracket are connected via an articulated joint that allows the first and second parts to pivot relative to one another without moving the first axis such that the bracket can independently accommodate misalignments between the mould and the supporting structure.
