  • Patent number: 6230481
    Abstract: A base frame for a gas turbine and driven machinery such as generators and the like, includes a centrally arranged hollow section which acts as a torsion-absorbing body, sections or wings which extend from the hollow section and form an angle of approximately 90° with the longitudinal axis of the hollow profile, one or more plate-shaped bodies arranged to cover wholly or partly the hollow section and the sections, wherein between the plate-shaped bodies, the sections and the hollow section there is formed at least one chamber on each side of the longitudinal axis of the hollow section, in which chambers there are provided pull-out modules which can house operating and control systems for the gas turbine, and that the hollow section is in the form of a hollow section having a rectangular cross-section.

  • Patent number: 6196795
    Abstract: A device and method for adapting a turbine package, including a turbine and a frame (R), where the turbine includes an inlet bell mouth (1, 4, 8) and/or an exhaust bell mouth, and where there is a difference in length between two or more dissimilar models of turbines, so that the anchorage points (12, 13) of the bell mouth door (2, 5) or the plenum wall for the turbines do not correspond. The adaptation may, for example, be carried out either by extending the inlet bell mouth (8) of the shorter turbine, so that the anchorage points (12, 13) of the bell mouth doors (5, 10) of the two turbines correspond and by producing the frame sot hat the bell mouth door (10) is positioned in accordance with the corresponding anchorage points (12, 13), or by providing the bell mouth door with a conical section (24) having a length corresponding to the length difference between the turbines.
