Abstract: A method for operating a machine plant having a shaft train, including: a) determining the harmonic frequency of a torsional vibration mode of the shaft train and determining mechanical stresses arising during a vibration period of the torsional vibration mode; b) determining a correlation for each torsional vibration mode between a first stress amplitude, at a position of the shaft train that carries risk of stress damage, and a second stress amplitude, at a measurement location of the shaft train, using stresses determined for the respective torsional vibration mode; c) establishing a maximum first stress amplitude for the position; d) establishing a maximum second stress amplitude, corresponding to the maximum first stress amplitude, for the measurement location; e) measuring the stress of the shaft train while rotating; f) determining a stress amplitude at each harmonic frequency; g) emitting a signal when the stress amplitude reaches the maximum second stress amplitude.

Abstract: A facility, in particular a power plant, is provided having a steam turbine and a bypass station for diverting a working medium, as required, for the steam turbine around the steam turbine, wherein at least one resonance absorber is provided for the bypass station.

Abstract: A mixing unit for mixing water with steam in a bypass station is provided. The mixing unit has a plurality of Laval nozzles arranged in the mixing unit, which Laval nozzles are displaced axially with respect to one another in a water steam direction, with the result that the noise emissions are reduced overall.
